Your Poem
I could be swept up and drown in this intensity
But that would belie its antiquity
The truth lies not in the frenzy of the flesh
But in the gentle gaze of your lover’s eyes
I do not wish to be the air you breathe
Instead the smile when you hear a song
Nor the answer to your every wish
But a catalyst to new visions and dreams
I care not to be the stars in your sky
Rather the unfathomable spaces in between
I have no desire to be your world
Only the sweetest moment in your day
And I will not grasp in longing desperation
But hold your love lightly in my hand for another
Lifetime
