My love for you is exotic like
The Autumn orb that lights
Yellow leaves like lanterns
On the shore at night
My love is gentle as a western
Plain....calm for all its width
Its simplicity sits like
A thousand zen moments
Caressing nervous cares
Into cactus stares
And sand
My love is ravenous
As the jungle's growth
Its power to entangle
To sound like crazed monkey chatter
Mixed with birdlike screeches
From the reaches of the trees
How can all these be
In one love for ye
I've only mentioned three
Exotic....calm....ravenocity
A thread runs through it all
The thread of you and me
Great poem, Bull. Just one thing: I would suggest changing ye to thee because ye is plural and thee is singular. (Forgive this intrusion from a former English teacher.) Also totally agree with Mandolyn's comment!

Thanks Mandolyn.....glad you liked it....it always pleases me when you comment....because your insight is so keen. Kim....had to laugh....I meant to say ye gads but was afraid it would make me sound too intellectual... ;) thanks also for the kind words.
