My Love Is The Earth

Poem

My love for you is the Earth,

Unconditional to its inhabitants

And perennial, despite the threats.

There can be storms of frustration,

Earthquakes of worry,

But the planet won't nudge

Indifferent to the smallness of all the other emotions

Which inhabit the same universe as my love

Even if an asteroid, a nuclear winter destroyed the surface

My love would barely notice

And when, finally, the Earth of my love will be swallowed by the Sun

And my love will apparently disappear with my body

It will still be there

With its mass and gravity

Changing the universe

With a kiss on the nose
