I Must Make it Known
By Benjamin Kyle Conley


Sweet Rose, do
you believe that we have
a once in a
life-
time
chance?
This time we have
fleets and flees
our grasp faster than we notice. Those hands
always swing and circle back around.
This is our time to live. For the moment
this is our world. In- (which we have but one chance.)
carnate beings in the far
off reaches of space.
This time is mine (to give to you)
to take and hold for
never again will I have hands or heart enough
to stand before your beauty.
my breath is spent to say I love You.

Benjamin is a recent graduate of Fordham University. He is trying to make a name for himself as a writer and a poet. Even though he doesn't frequently write about love, he figured this is as good a place to start as any.
