Our
initial response to the poem was the
inspiration we received from his message.
He portrayed love as a heat of the moment experience
and a decision that should be made before you lose the
opportunity given to you. We also feel as if the poem
could be a warning to the audience.

Take love by the throat.
Waste no time and with
Much haste I will show-
Show this seemingly naïve
World that time we consume
Is certainly no typical joke.
Time that will wither can take

A shiver of the presence that love once had.
Show no hesitation, making your
Choice because there is no astounding
purpose of love with out a voice.
