Drunk With Love Poem by Mark Heathcote

If I covertly look into your eyes
I see before me my destiny. Clearly-
see my both hands resting on your warm thighs.
See our two lips kissing feverishly.
Believe me, our fortunes they're intertwined.
If I look unwaveringly at you,
I know our stars are forever aligned.
So just for tonight, I bid you adieu.
But I might come back only to go blind.
And take what I know inside to be mine.
There isn't a soul that hasn't been maligned.
But you're my one and only Valentine
I wouldn't permit one bad sullied, word-
even if I, myself right now sound slurred.
