So April is poetry month and I meant to post sooner but just have not gotten around to it, but now I am. This piece is my first published having been published in a poetry book more than a decade ago. This is a piece about questioning someone's love and devotion and how deep it goes.
How Deep is Your Love
How deep is your love
that you proclaim to me
Is it a deep rooted seed,
or deep as the sea
Can you look at me
deep into my eyes
and say I am your soul mate
Or would it be lies
How deep is your love
that you have given to me
Can I keep you forever
Should I set you free
Can you breathe your breath
without my scent
if one day I would say good bye
How deep is your love
for me dear prince
Could you live if I would die
