A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

when paid in full


overdue you,
there will be fines to pay

a contrition of kisses tendered
embraces in tandem

the waiting,
love's hour, confined minutes
into anticipation's bank note

something borrowed,
the lien on my heart----

you are the balance.

lots of love overtones here j, the interest, the balance, the deliverance, the expected charge, the trial, the money back, the refund and all payments in love accepted. haha i liked this j, love has more layers than an onion and do we get to the core!

Banking on love or buying and selling promises. I hope there will not be a hold up and injuries. The escape car is waiting outside. An excellent write, sir....:)...........
