Love me like a plum tree 
in full bloom 
bursting against a cloudless 
crystal-blue sky 

love me like tender mist 
descending over 
an endless 
rugged mountain road 

love me...with all the abandon 
of a sudden wild rain 

with all the mysteriousness 
of deep midnight 
forest echoes

love me like tears
glistening on cheeks 

love me
in all my seasons 
in all my phases 

with all the wholeness 
of light in the heart 

with all the rights 
and all the wrongs 

but love me, especially 
when life
tears me apart 
and i am living in half

love me 
with all the fullness 
of a moon 
a flower... 
a breath... 
a kiss.
