Strengthen these arms
for they only exist to hold up the black canopy
that is the night sky
May these legs find purchase
on this expanse of tilth
that has received the boon of yesterday's cry
Feel the cadence of my skipping heart
resulting in the breeze of faltering breaths
lulling you as you lie
Comfort the tremors of these quivering lips
as they whisper forth
promises of mysterious galaxies and
cryptic nebulae
These eyes would cast their gaze;
assuming the role of sentry
guarding from all who would pry
My being... My entirety was put here
so that your bed would remain safe
from future's winds come silent and sly
