Love Poem: Love Gamble

Love Gamble

Like the danger of a mine field; 
As I pass there through her eyes
There beyond attraction
A lounging leopard lies.

Its cemetery is a beauty;
Unfathomable and one of a kind
And in desire is my mystery
How can I make this creature mine?

There within my composite;
A lethal weapon lies;
And life is as a wager;
Of which invitation buys.

Beside and all around me;
Ride my defenders from another time;
They serve me as protectors;
Making it worth what worries I might find

Moving forward with increasing speed;
My heart pounds with excitement;
And my life projects its sellf as intensified;
For today I either die or live sublime
