A Toothless Knife Poem by Patti Masterman

A Toothless Knife



If you could live forever
Just to love me,
In the blink of an eye
I could live eternity.

And if you died once
In my arms so tight,
No distance would matter-
Or if it was right.

But if that love
Could bestow life,
Death would become
A toothless knife.

This poem seems to twist the knife of love, which has extremely deadly teeth and then expressively disarm it. Great write.
