To My Unknown Love

To My Unknown Love

A Poem by Elizabeth Porterfield
"

A poem of Address

"

My love,

I hope to see you soon.

I know not your name,

Nor your face,

Nor your habits.

But I know you are there

Somewhere out there

I’d ask you to wait for me

But that would be unfair to you

My patience waned

Long, long ago

So I began my search.

If I had known you,

I would have run to you

As the tide runs to the moon

Then flown to where you were

And never left.

If I were to find you today,

I would be much more cautious.

A huntress, stalking her prey,

Then I would wait

For the lamb to fall for the lioness

And see me for me

Another lamb

Just in disguise
