In Love

        by Ted Guhl


    Walk down the hallway
    and talk to almost everyone.
    Look. See me. I am in love.
    Go behind my eyes
    Feel the tears ready to spill,
    What sadness is this? I am in love.
    Sitting and writing
    No new words will come. Angry
    because I say I'm in love.
    My mediation is this: "Heart
    is more important than mind."
    Is that the reason I am in love?
    Crazy. It fills me...
    Everywhere, your face like a ghost,
    a shadow. I am in...
    Enough! This moment is upside down.
    Truth is not difficult. You
    are there. Love is in me.
