If This Is Love: Poem by Shirley K.W. Ka

Let it surround me, embrace me, wrap me up.
Let it warm me, consume me, sink me in,
Melt me, merge me with this glove. `
If this is love,
Stop my shivers with your embrace...
Hold me; hide me from this place.
If this is us,
Then hold me close,
Do you feel my pulse -My heartbeat,
Do you feel me breathe?
They’ll be sure to cease the day you leave.
And if this is love,
Then let us trade: warmth for warmth,
Trust for trust...
And love for love, let us stand.
Let us walk this journey hand in hand.
