Mary, My Mary, My Hydraheaded Poem by richard ilnicki

My love for you
has never been tempered
by the cold water of logic or reason.
No frigid analytical left-brained actuarial
stultifying my emotions
can seduce
with higher mathematics
and bottom line conmcerns, my love.
My love for you
has always been tempered with fire and passion
and an illogical approach
to daily living.
My love for you is rebellious
and hydraheaded; kill one, raise two.

My love defies the natural order
of the status quo
and spins the earth counter clockwise.

I have never once questioned
the sanity of my insane behavior;
I love you crazy.

Today, this day
is the same as every other day;
the only difference,
if there is one,
is that I love you more
than yesterday's imagination,
today's realization,
and tomorrow's dream.
