I am troubled by my feelings <br />that defy all common sense <br />that breathes in your warming beauty <br />and fulfills each labored breath. <br />My emotions deep, dismaying <br />madness stokes a hidden flame <br />burning blood red silent anguish <br />merely mentioning your name. <br /> <br />I am plundered without reason <br />not a shilling of respect <br />recounting dreams of moistened lips <br />mapping contours of your neck. <br />Candid youthful turbid movements <br />arms be-speckled in the haze <br />I am lost within your charming <br />garden hedge rows in a maze. <br /> <br />Mesmerize me with your shadow, <br />drape my heart with languid song, <br />dance with me sweet lonely shadow <br />trailing light shade growing long. <br />Mystify me with your essence, <br />confound me with your ways <br />from the insight of your spirit <br />predetermining my days. <br /> <br />Incantations, tonal whispers <br />hold me spellbound with your tongue <br />chaliced love that pours and fills me <br />exhalations from your lungs. <br />Ride with me on wings of songbirds; <br />rise with me on hymns of praise, <br />fly with me on gentle currents, <br />fly with me, lets fly away. <br /> <br />I'm enslaved by girlish laughter <br />turbulence that breaks apart <br />ransacked then pieced together <br />ensnares, denudes my heart. <br />I am saying that I love you, <br />though our circumstance insane. <br />I am saying that I love <br />the mere mention of your name.<br /><br />Captain Cur<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mere-mention-of-your-name-love-poems/
