Love me like a plum tree
in full bloom
bursting against a cloudless
crystal-blue sky
love me like tender mist
descending over
an endless
rugged mountain road
love me...with all the abandon
of a sudden wild rain
with all the mysteriousness
of deep midnight
forest echoes
love me like tears
glistening on cheeks
love me
in all my seasons
in all my phases
with all the wholeness
of light in the heart
with all the rights
and all the wrongs
but love me, especially
when life
tears me apart
and i am living in half
love me
with all the fullness
of a moon
a flower...
a breath...
a kiss.
