Love I Am Enamoured, I Am Your Oyster Poem by Mark Heathcote

My loneliness, a blood-red sunset only you can see
It has a deep radiance, it has rainbows,
But only you count the gold gilt-edged clouds
And the dark rains, jamborees.

Love won't you coo from the pine needle treetops
Coz I love you & nothing but nothing
Can ever make me dark again or blue
Coz I really do love you, more than I do me.

Love, I am enamoured, I am your oyster
And you are my untarnished love my pearl
The pearl I wanted to hide & take from this world
Without ever revealing how scornful & alone I did loiter.

Love, I wanted to brood in those watery shadows
But you opened me up and gave me new roots
Deeper and higher and stronger than the mangroves
Swaying above the seas, embodying loves absolutes.
