I love you.
I have said it to you with the wind,
Frolicking like a little animal on the sand
Or enraged like an exploding organ;I have said it to you with the sun,
that bronzes youthful naked bodies
and smiles upon all innocent things;I have said it to you with the clouds,
Melancholy foreheads that support the sky,
runaway sorrows;I have said it to you with the plants,
light transparent creatures
that cover themselves as they blush unexpectedly;I have said it to you with the water,
luminous life that appears above a shadowy depth;
I have said it to you with fear,
I have said it to you with happiness,
with disgust, with terrible words.But it is not enough for me like this:
farther from life,
I want to say it to you with death;
farther from love,
I want to say it to you with oblivion.

Like the cookie said while he was being interrogated by Lord Farquar in Shrek
"Don't do it!"
The poem carries me on a lovely light filled with love and it's delight then you take me to this dark place where only death will suffice.
I say.... NO!
I don't want love through death....
not yours certainly.
I take everything so literally.
Am I going in the wrong direction with this?
Are you considering something?

"Melancholy foreheads that support the sky." Wish I'd written that -- wonderful line. You must know I'm metaphor-addicted from reading my stuff. I'll never quite look at lowering clouds the same way. I hope you don't mean it about the oblivion, though. You obviously have a lot of love left to give in the beautiful world you describe. I especially understand the pain/pleasure aspect of looking back on a fallen relationship. When I think about it, I've really been dancing around including my ex-wife Alyssa as anything more than a touchstone for my own feelings in my poems. But even now, the idea of writing a scene where she's an active participant is a little too difficult. Maybe in time. Atticus
