Love Poem: Odeto Love

Odeto Love

I will knit my love for you 
Into the tapestry of my heart
The girdle of your affection
Cinched tightly about me

Residue of past relationships
Piled in tidy heap
Like winter's logs
To be consumed by fire and then to ash

What does love have to do with it they say
But what is the value of anything without love
If I should give you everything but not love
How can the softest organ be enshrined to keep

I will ask this question instead
What does age have to do with it
The answer forthcoming would be
Age holds no barrier to love

I love you
