My love for you is hungry as the sea: As turbulent, as tidal, as forlorn; As deep with unrequited mystery; As elemental, vast, and tempest-torn. No mountain is more awesome and enduring; No moon so full of passion for the light; No garden more forbidden or alluring; No watchman more acquainted with the night. I've learned such love leaves me with little pleasure, Nor does it die from lack of recompense. It is from birth a precious, haunted treasure, Long buried just beyond my innocence. It is a treasure I now offer you: That you are loved regardless what you do. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
