I would scale the highest <br />most decrepit radio towers in the world <br />the rusted metal crumbling against my feet <br />Risking electrocution and the constant threat of falling <br />as I rewire the ancient spiderweb of cabling <br />so I can hear even the faintest transmission of your voice <br />I'll clutch a stained and faded photograph of us <br />The only remainder after most everything digital <br />dies out in flickers of dormant transistors and dissipated binary <br />I'll protect it from acidic rain and the grit of persistent dust storms <br />So little resources left in a continent of incinerated cities <br />yet this picture of you and I is all I will need to keep moving <br />When I finally find you <br />I will fight against all impossible odds and potential ends <br />I'll walk entire burnt out highways with you just to make one last stand <br />I will carry you across these deserted wastelands and returning forests <br />To show that even after the bombs drop <br />My love belongs to you<br /><br />Charles Darkly<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-love-poem-for-the-apocalypse/
