Love Poem: I Know It Was Love

I Know It Was Love

I know it was love
With all its attachments
I gave of myself
Freely
Willingly

Yes
I showed her wonders
I lifted the edge
Of the universe
And she peeked

I raised her up
Past my equal
Such as gentleman do

And yes 
As best one could
With humble wages

I showed passion 
More than a
Wink and a smile
After laughter
Roared
And eye’s clashed

Ah
The soft curve
Of love
Ever remembered

I was so proud
Of her
She shone
So bright
I was the taller man
Standing next to her
I couldn’t get enough
I would run home of work

Such Italian elegance
And finesse
To be found
Adelaide River
If I hadn’t met her
With my own being
It would have been a tale 
To match Lassiter

God no
I have not need
To control
Her Beauty
And broken heart
Are her freedom
Unhealthy is
Unhealthy
What’s one to do?
Tis just a question
How much does one 
Take?

Was blinded to start
The baggage 
Circling in the shadows
Like mangy Dingoes just 
Outside the fire light
                                              
In the end
I stayed Loyal
True and faithful
To myself
But nil the wiser
