A Kind Of Love Poem

I love you
It is true--
But what does that mean
Considering the
Mere moments that we've
Together shared
Spanning over several
Lonely years?

I love you
What does it mean, except
That I want to love you...
And have held my wanting tight within
An underwater swimmer deep breath
Until my chest ached...

I love you
Words crafted carefully
As if by the hand of an
Amature sculpter
Who builds in private
Rather than dare to discover
Disillusionment
And apply it accordingly...

I have relished
My dreams of you--
Latched on the idea
Of some "You" who bears
Your face, your name
Though in truth we've barely met...

I love you
I whisper the words
To my winterpond reflection
With secret hope
That some how they might sway your
Far off green grass heart
Like hypnosis...
