If You Love Me Just Let Me Drift Away Poem by Mark Heathcote

I feel the touch of wind reverently suffused
All around me like a gerbil on a wheel confused
Looking at the eye of a hurricane
I feel the throbbing of my brain
I hear the music of time a heart beats thrum!
It's unravelling on my loose tongue
I embrace the day but want to run away
If you're-confused, I don't know what more to say.
I see a misted window smudged
Oh, what if I to fall succumbed.
Remember your finger on my lips
Shortly before we kissed
And sank back down in winter to subsist
Like field-mice in meadows playing battleships.
Oh, what if like the light at dawn
You should grow, so strong
But leastwise not today, love it hides in the grimmest of clouds
Like the sun, clouds that are black as ink and woebegone
Beyond any deliverance of light
But love, you can still help me to be strong.
If you're-confused, I don't know what more to say.
If you love me, just let me drift away.
