We Are Struck
Time is involved with our embraces
As if the length of holding one another
Measures the weight of our affection
The tightness of our hugs produces passions–
Passions filled with a gravity of attraction
Not just of Earth and moon, but a solar system
Spinning in a forever twirl of infatuation
Creating fools with feet stuck to the ground
Apples fall, striking our yearning heads
As if aimed from the trees, which recognize the bloom
And blush, throbbing candy fruit seeds of our hunger
Moist in mouth, We crave the taste of heated sugar
As if Venus were vanilla and Mars, marshmallows
S’more amore, together, in gooey entanglement.
We are struck with each other, from now on
Love the bottom image.

I really loved this poem especially the line, “As if the length of holding one another
Measures the weight of our affection.” I love how it generates a lot of emotion within a few words. I also love the picture of Le Petit Prince as well (I’m reading that this summer).
