Places I never wanted to see
Until you were at those places -
They are now all I want to see so long as
You will be there.
Over bridges, across canyons,
Under mountains, in abandoned
Railway stations, or
Here - never leaving if you are here.
Expecting to see you, I expect to love
All the places I will go.
Defeated when you are not there;
Orange crayon sun of my days
Never duller than without you.
My eyes crave
Your form.
Surely, as time goes, I will find you.
Hasten the day, hasten the day!
Or come looking for me, and
Under the blankets waits our breakfast:
Legs and legs, mouth and mouth, and then
Dessert follows for our unfilled hearts.
Elated, our hunger at last
Relieved.
