let us be undeniable

let us be undeniable
in our love


let us be fearless
and baldly resolute
unflinching and reckless and true
let us sound all alarums
let our presence be known
so no one may say
this is too young
this never can last
but let them find nothing
in our hearts
that lacks for fire


let us be fierce
let us be an embarrassment
we shall cling in the centre of the room
and be as fireworks
twinkling in the eyes
of them all
who deny
for they shall look upon
us defiantly hungry
mouths agog
and say
ah


yet
let us be still
and let us be secret
so no one may know
what jewel we twirl
or kitten we kiss
in a tangled embrace
of darkness
rocking
them all
away


oh let us be undeniable
in the marketplace
in the streets
in the parlour
and in our
big
burning
hearts
