Appeal
May I love you once more?
– in secret intimacy,
most clandestinely
with only you and me to watch
and be aware of how I love you,
needing you more urgently
than I myself can be aware of,
nevermore to let you go
away from me out of my heart,
but keeping you in safety,
locking myself out of
any other possible pretension,
since you are my other half;
and without you
my life would be reduced indeed
to that intolerable poverty
which was I before I met you.
Maybe I protest too much,
but love's voice never can be quieted;
for nothing is more irresistible
than the truth of nature in true love.
