A Net Cast in the Sea of Love

I wanted to write you something.
A poem,
or perhaps a song
if the melody could be captured.
I wanted to write of love,
and compassion, and pleasure
of the heart.
A muscle which must be exercised,
but would caution
For you I take down my velvet rope
on my velvet robe.
For this tempest of thoughts,
as a storm upon the ocean,
cannot be satisfied by mere words.
For me, the bright lights of fancy
are provisionally out of reach.
Like a star twinkling in the pitch of the
night sky.
For you my dear
I write.
Yes, my heart belongs to you.
What an unswerving hold on it you have;
tangled me as a fisherman tangles a fish.
A net...
you cast has caught me
forever...
I will cherish that day
when you pulled me in from the sea.

"For you I take down my velvet rope
on my velvet robe."
