Love Poem: I Hold the Plume

I Hold the Plume

Babe you know I’d walk a mile
And wrestle with a crocodile 
Even spend a year or two in exile
If only just to see you smile 

The light I feel when you’re in the room
Is enough to make a flower bloom
And all the ladies start to swoon
But I’m the one that holds the plume 

I’d show you all my cards at once
For your intentions are upfront
I’m silly dear yet this is no stunt
The heart’s a mystery babe, don’t grunt

I love you now and let you know
It never could just be for show
For the longer I live this life I sow
Is shining for I love you so

I’d run across a great big desert 
And swim the oceans to find your presence 
And love you till you feel quite pleasant 
Until my dear you are luminescent
