Love Supreme

Is that a Sax I hear?

Backed by drums,

clicking in time

with eternity?

Can’t be.

Not with a piano part

that sounds like

children’s play.

Too chaotic.

& painful.

Is love like that?

Some love, I guess.

Love with pain?

With panic?

Pressing on my chest?

Insane!

I take a breath

so deep

(gulping)

that I can't swallow.

Stare

into a sky so blue

(blinking)

that I go blind.

Painful love.

Panicked love.

Love …

Supreme.
