Poet: Love

I was once quite the poet. I'm going to post some of those poems here. Some will be raw, some will be polished. There may even be first & final draft comparisons. Here's the first one.

Love

If I am in love, let it be my sanctuary

Let it guide and protect;

Let it encase me like a blanket

Across my shoulders and shielding my heart

Let it be classic and sophisticated

With excitement and wonder;

New and old all at once

Let it stick to my soul

Rather than slip through my fingers

Let the ease of its touches

Comfort and soothe;

Let it be worth all its troubles,

And let it flow like a river

Whose delta spills into my soul

If I am in love, let it be.
