How Do You Love Me? Poem by Peter S. Quinn

How do you love me?
If you don´t tell
Is it a love of free?
Or one inside its spell
For how longer still
Will the stars shine on?
If the future will
Be lost and night gone

How true is a heart?
That feels not my love
Shall ever therein start
Some care worthy of
Or will it all be lost
In its dark going flow
That thru here’s crossed
On its departing go

How do our destines lie
If nothing is between
Only empty lost sky
With none of stars’ seen
Deep into deep dark
Oceans of its density
Where hours won't spark
From love’s propensity
