All I ask

At surface, ripples and washes in and away. Desires, wishes, requirements, Some in a murky deep, secrets weighing down, Some float, light enough, shallow enough to match the surface But few can’t escape, held somewhere farther, And in this nadir, unchanged is all I need. With just a single frame she’s alone, But a picture’s thousand words Tell, look closer it calls. Not to walk a crowded street, longing for a home, and Just pleads to know Just the reassurance of knowing. Could be salient, could be striking but obliterate a frame, And she’s there, with all I want. A dove warbles one lonely soliloquy, to the ebony Sky, could be an only friend Or nights could keep her. Either way, with warmed wings Soaring, If it could stay forever. Flying, a weighted soul released Letting go of All I ask, Flickers through a space. Mind, that’s how it’s known Behind it lurks in organs of a soul As the heart would pump blood, and bleed for someone What as the head functions? In that space so trivial Distance between lovers and friends Both the desire, the without An outstretched hand to, Never let go To love you Is all I ask.
