If only for another night
My love, you're mine 'till the doom's light

Without within who knows what
That the knot inside wants you to want?
Is it hard knock blunt force
Or a gentle heart?

I love you
Like I love the fall of snow
Like the clear sky in May
Like the night stars in June

I love you
Like I love the truth of life
Like the smell of my books
Like the ache in my bones

I love you
Like I love the ache in my throat
Like the scorching in my gut
Like the flood of tears in my eye

I love you
Like I love the warmth of a kiss
Like the hug that I miss
Like the hand that holds mine
Like a loving smile

I love you
I know I’m right
There is no other
Explanation for this
There can’t be
What is this
This expanded space in my chest
If not true love?

You’ve closed your doors
For the time being
Sealed shut your windows
Your walls
Closed the curtains
To blind my eyes
To your breathtaking
Muse
