If I
Were an
Atom and
You an
Electron and
You were
Attracted to
Me and
Another came
Into our
Field would
You bounce
Away or
Fight for
The attraction
Love as
Electron shells
If I
Were an
Atom and
You an
Electron and
You were
Attracted to
Me and
Another came
Into our
Field would
You bounce
Away or
Fight for
The attraction
Love as
Electron shells
And there
It was
A spark
A star
A bit
Of heaven
Dancing in
The corner
Of your
Eye a
Twinkle an
Ember a
Reflection of
Eternity and
Knew I
Was home
And I
Spied upon
My palm
A remnant
Of you
A bit
I’d forgotten
And when
Thought about
Brought such
Energy that
I forgot
About me
And remembered
You
So tell
Me where
A Christmas
Tree light
Starts and
Ends and
When it’s
Time to
Take all
The cheer
Down is
It after
Or really
After when
The paper
And ribbons
Settle or
Perhaps when
Glad tidings
Have gone
And upon
You I
Stumbled and
Slipped to
Your mossy
Bank and
Dipped my
Hand in
Your cool
Water and
Drank once
Sated I
Listened to
Your sounds
Of life
And knew
Then that
I’d found
My heaven
