You Must Know by Now I Don't Know how to Sufficiently Title Anything
if I were a drop of water
he would be a well
of which there is no end
that I am roaring and drowning in
that I am choking and bloating in
if I were a star
suspended and shreiking
in the silence and eternity
of the universe
he would be the sun
bright and hot with the allure
of insatiable gravity
he would be always hungry
always parched
yellow and irate
about the sweltering eternity
he marched
if I were the scurrying mouse
he is the wolf of long sharp teeth
grazing my naked flesh
how he surely intends to feast
he would be a well
of which there is no end
that I am roaring and drowning in
that I am choking and bloating in
if I were a star
suspended and shreiking
in the silence and eternity
of the universe
he would be the sun
bright and hot with the allure
of insatiable gravity
he would be always hungry
always parched
yellow and irate
about the sweltering eternity
he marched
if I were the scurrying mouse
he is the wolf of long sharp teeth
grazing my naked flesh
how he surely intends to feast

Surely you know as well as the rest of us, the cover of a book is merely camouflage for the life flourishing within to seek shelter beneath...

I love that 5th line "I am choking and bloating in", I'm so glad you included bloating. I enjoy the attraction depictions in this. well penned, good love poem.
