You asked me if I had
Written
a poem today?
No I said. You could not
have known that you are
my poem.
My metaphors have changed.
You took my sad attempt’
'
to make of my life
a story someone might
read, even for a moment.
Tonight I can tell you
You are the meter
which steers the thing
I call love.
An unusual poem, filled
with all the things you are.
So I will know you when
finally
we are met
and One.
