Zeal is in the Blood

Forgive me if this sounds melodramatic. I just watched New Moon the other night, and with a title like this, a love poem came out. This was written for the One Letter Poems contest.

Zeal is in the Blood

 

My heart pounds for you.

I run blindly past

your open arms.  

 

I can’t see for the tears I shed. 

Yet you reach for me,

take hold of me. 

 

My blood churns at your touch. 

I need you more than you can know.

Hold me tight, don’t let me go. 

 

I can’t stop

this desire to have

you near me. 

 

It’s in my blood. 

You are in my blood. 

 

I die for you. 

I burn for you.

 

You are my passion.

You are my zeal. 

My only peace is you.
