Just Love Me

Suzanne Mondoux · 16 November 2020

Now even as I pray I watch this world go by My knees buckle, my fingers grip one another With swollen throat from my screams Just love me in the simplest way Forget the deadly images you portrayed onto me Draw in with breath inspiring the stirring of love in you Let the estuaries of this world rise and shine Just love me with a single kiss on a single blooming peddle Smell the roses around you And the life beneath this earth murmur back into our world Just love me in your cold and fatigue manner and expectation of all Let go of your ideas and ideals that serve everything but you Best of you is still to come, in one simple step Let the rivers flow and the ice glow Just love me in the warm sunlight and cool night sky And rake with your hands the path that leads you home It is enough to save our economy But first in the interwoven branches of the tree of life Watch the fresh branches spark alive should the end strike Distress this world and forever you will be forgotten
