i.
incessant and impossible
your heart beats the electric miracle of will

ii.
your chest feels like home
even when you are cold
and forget the feeling of front doors

iii.
nothing ever felt so warm
as the soft earth of your hands
and you are a gardener

iv.
lovers fall helpless
into the open arms of your gentle spirit

v.
you love with a safety and assurance
that morning will come
and it will come with a shining
it will come and it will come jubilant
it will come warm and safe and full

vi.
in love, you will be warm and safe and full

vii.
in you, days of empty vanish
like ice on windshields
from nights slept in socks

viii.
you will only know cold temporary

ix.
all things gold will stay and stay for you

x.
all things gold will stay and stay for you
