Can I say yes to you?
Promise to my future,
That I won’t neglect you?
Can I tear my bones
Together with my breath
To wave them with yours?
Can I trust my tongue,
To utter the right sound?
And hide behind a truth:
Affection for you.

Trust my soul to waver
By the glistering rays.
Trust my smile to burst
With a glimpse at the sky.
My dimple to swallow my pride.
Admitting to the clouds.
To the wind, to your smile,
How much…I love thee.

“ I feel the love so utterly
Now that my joy elected home within my ribs”

Just watch me burn,
When I’m at sea.
Watch me melt
In misery.
Ripple my wrath,
Along the beach
And take penance,
For my reprieve.

My steps faltered
When they advanced
No worries could alter
Such an advent
I have perused
So many verbs
But none so true
As those You shared
I have found here
An inner peace
So much welcome
In silent tears
And a glistering
Smile in peace.
