Watching you there
Rifling through drawers
Looking for something
Misplaced or wanted
Moving from cupboard
Over to wardrobe
And back again
Finally close enough
That the trap
Of my arms
Spring tightly shut
Catching your body
In warm embrace
Here in bedroom
In my very
Own sculpture garden
I have written
More to you
Than any other
Lover ever before
I have written
About you for
You to you
I have described
You places for
You places within
You you within
Places and yet
You are incomplete
Not that you
Are I am
I will keep
Writing for you
Until the world
Knows you exactly
As I do
Once you forgive
Anger goes away
You see it
For what it
Was whatever it
Was a lesson
Or a lifetime
Or something in-between
Don’t hold onto
Things that hurt
Or anger you
Try forgiveness first
And remember that
Whatever it was
It simply was
I have such
Hopes for you
Not for me
But for another
You will fall
In love surely
With him but
For me I’m
Simply the one
That fanned the
Fire you are
Igniting an ember
Causing a flame
So that he
Might find you
I can have
What I want
I can’t have
Everything I want
Choosing really hurts
I forgot that
It hurts badly
Causing me not
To choose to
Delay my choice
But delaying choice
Only causes corruption
Instead of flying
Towards one abandonedly
I sour both
Choose I must
Choose I will
If I don’t
Choose you it’s
Only because I
Want to remember
The sweet you
Not the you
I made you
Into by not
