Copious-Amounts Of Love Poem by Mark Heathcote

Copious-amounts of love are all I need.
I'm a tad stronger than a climbing rose
but I need sunlight to grow
I need compassion to breathe.

I need empathy in every touch
a copious amount of love
to make my pergola—arch
a dove-white wing,

oh, I need a summer house
to shelter me from all my tears,
a copious-amount of love
warm as the sun, up above:

a copious-amount of love is all I need.
A fire signs the opposite of water
to disguise the night times horror
all I need is your love.

For you to gather these Silkweeds;
and I'll behold you my golden lotus
in every midnight hour
we'll bloom, animated as owl-wings,
glowing in the dark - together
… hovering-hooting—love forever.
