Love Poem: How Was I To Know

How Was I To Know

Forgive me sweet, I fell in love...
For how was I to know?
That gentle thing, the dove of spring
Would overwhelm me so.

It swooped down if from nowhere
While my mind was out to play--
And now I love the all of you
Though you're much too far away.

The wind blew without warning,
I was taken dreams, away--
Where beauty is a common tale
And there are no words, to say.

And in fever, and in torment,
I have fallen for your voice--
You've set it free, the soul of me
And left me little choice.

Shall I take my life as lovers do,
Spread my broken wings and fly?
This insanity has conquered me...
Let me taste your lips, and die.
