Lovely Beasts
by Jacob erin-cilberto

The Woods are lovely, dark and deep
as your eyes
enticing me
to step into that glazed forest
of fertile wonder
trusting instincts
a compass of confidence
that these woods are safe
and you will hold onto me
when the darkness might be overwhelming

I would love you if you were only dark and deep
lovely is just a transition that loses
its glow when looks are gone
and substance counts
let us enter
confidently
and walk forever hand in hand
feeling our way among the mighty oaks
imagining our love is just as strong
as those majestic beasts
watching over us.
