Time Knot Poem by Mark Heathcote

I want to loop a time knot through your heart.
And pull you aside like a flightless bird.
And I invite you to marry me, be my consort.
Be my wife for life right here on Earth.

Darling, I want to go loop-de-loop with you.
Fall on my head or get wed to you.
There's no certainty of a safe passage.
All I know is you have to learn to fly.

Fly anyway, and it's always better with two.
All I know is when the sun sets on the water.
When the sun rises, it's better with two.
Darling, holding hands with you.
It's better with you; it's better with two.

Darling, I want to go loop-de-loop with you.
I want to loop a time knot through your heart.
And catch me a soulmate.
And pull you aside like a flightless bird.

And watch the sunset through your feathers.
Through your feathers, darling
I just want to watch the sunrise with you.
Like I've been raised from the dead with you.
