for my lover

Posted to Action Poetry




I'm in awe of my lover
she is a mighty person
strong as Diana
she is the life in my meat

sleeps with my ambition
beyond viagra
she is Spanish Fly
goads me on past breakfast

if we were in a foxhole
I would lay my body across hers
because I know that she
Is more valuable than I ever could be

my lover is the pivot of energy
the fulcrum of my strength
my arc and challenge
the hinge of completion

my love is my heroine
stretched in effort
she glistens with the sweat
and never rests till I'm done.
