bigger than me

love is more void than emotion

more empty than her heart

more certain than full devotion

more lethal than a poisoned art

it is falling fast and ecstatic fear

and flying nowhere it shall yield

than all the life which only is

a blood-stained battlefield

love is much greater than our lives

but less significant than our conscience

much heavier than our deepest feelings

less sensible than our nonsense

it is fast, fierce, inevitable

and larger than the raging sea

than all the earthly kings that were

it is much bigger than me
