Love letter

I would swim the shark infested oceans
scale the icy mountains
leap the plunging gorges
for the slightest touch from you.

I would hold the leprous hands
of diseased multitudes
in far off lands
for a smile from you.

I would crawl naked
over burning coals
on blistered stumps
just to be near you.

PS – if its not raining on Tuesday
I’ll try and pop over, sometime after two.
