Inamorata

Oh, I have never loved you.

Or not as Earth defines it;
Oh, my love. There's no
Bells and whistles
Or passions grandes
For you.

No furtive kisses
Behind doors, darling;
They're just not my style
And never could be.

Oh, Rose.
No clichéd flames of eternal fire
For you;

You who were part of me
From our beginning;
Could I ever really lose you?

Oh, I have always loved you.
Yet not in ways which either
You or I
Could ever understand.
I loved you then, and now, and always.

Fealty is inspired, never bought.
Oh, my love;
What save that
Have I left
That I could ever give you?
