Gushingly Poetical Poem by Mark Heathcote

If I kiss you, it will be biblical
the world shall forever remember you
for when poets speak gushingly poetical
about their love, their words indeed accrue:
mean more over time than did at the time
that's not to say my feelings weren't real.
Or that they were misguided hate crimes
crimes of passion still seem quite puerile.
But if I was to kiss you, know one thing.
I intended to find my true love.
And then make her you—my everything,
I do not want someone superfluous.
Just someone, loving and down to earth,
any more or less, I'll give a wide berth.
