"Love Poem To Theodore"
Theodore, Your HEart is A Little Mandarin Orange
That I Am Forever Unpeeling, Anticipating
The Aromatic Deliciousness of your kiss, and
reaching it, pressing you to my lips with a kiss,
then fall backwards into a sea of bedsheets and solitude
and i get lost in my dreams of you theodore,
your little complex heart, i cannot fathom its deepness
i cannot fathom you, yet i can try
and in this is life in trying do i enjoy you
my little mandarin orange.
How I Love to unpeel you
and eat you, slice by delicious slice!
This is a mandarin orange that never ends
i am forever keeping it in my soul
the knowledge of thee is overwhelming Theodore
knowing that you actually, somehow, miraculously, exist!
It keeps me alive to know you are out there and you are alive
that you come back home to me every night
and lay inside my arms, that there is your light
in all this overwhelming darkness called life!
Knowing there is you
and knowing that you love me madly
is enough to bring me back from any fate,
to save me from any wrong roads, to bring me back
home to you Theodore, my love, my life, my delight!
In Jesus' Name,
Amen!
