Untamed Love
By T.C. Stevenson


With so little hope,

Would it not be martyrdom

To succumb to the temptations

Of an untamed love?



To cast one’s self

Into the scorching fires of passion

And burn in hopes of finally seeing the light

In a lovers eyes?



Is there no nobler test of true love?

No greater testament

Than to stand in defiance of insurmountable odds

With naught but poetry upon my lips?



Let this be my sacrifice

Let my heart stand upon an altar of words;

A tribute to the Goddess of the coffee shop.

This is for you.
