Love Poem: Flood

Flood

Wherever I go I’ll will be listening to you with all cylinders
Your voice no longer interrupted by my thoughts
Casual comments becoming your defining moments

If love was a flood we would all wish to drown
We make boats of concern so as not to be engulfed by 
The myriad ways we pour our hearts towards each other

Fearing the sense of collapse 
The illusion of control and limits:

The baker riding his own carpet of dough to the moon:
Loving our cashiers:
Hugging arcade games:
Flying through branches 
Wherever we go
