Love Is A Lake Poem by Mark Heathcote

Love is a lake
It can stagnate
If it doesn't move
Reflect -back on you
If it's calm expect change
As its love doesn't circle
Or ripple just around you
Expect wind and rain
Passion needs a window
To reflect -back on you
To feel the same
But like all brackish water
It must flood…
Outpour - rise and fall.
Like a tear in our eyes
Love is a lake
It can stagnate
Clutching your heart
Dousing the fires
In your skies
In underwater scenes
Catfish nose-to-nose
Kiss in their eternal ways
As we do every night in our dreams.
