Oh, Will You Love Me (Song) Poem by Mark Heathcote

Oh, will you love me
Oh, oh I pray you will love me
Like a praying mantis
And, take my life.

Oh, will you love me
Will you eat me, devour me
Coz for you…
I’m falling in unending avalanches.

Oh, will you love me
Like a hawk moth
And, hang my world upside down
Will you love me, embrace me for all-time.

Will you hang me upside down from a branch?
From a limb, suspend me; cradle me in your web,
And like a vampire draw on my viscus blood:
Simply because you felt you must, you could?

Oh, will you love me
Tear me limb from limb,
But never let me go…
Oh, oh, oh…

Will you love me till you go blind?
Use my eyes to seek your soul,
Use my body to marrowbone your own whole.
And like a vampire draw on my blood:
Simply because, you felt you must, you could?

Oh, my heart races like a starships dilithium engine
Now we’re together.
The sky holds no bounds, hasn’t any clouds.
Just our kinetic energy expounds.
