what did i want?
what did i want all
my life?
i wanted you be
fore i knew your
name.
i wanted you when
i could only imagine
who you might
be.
so i prepared my
heart.
could your rib be
mine? did you come
to me from the sea
foam? or out of the
cracked-open head of
a jealous god?
no need to compare you
to a rose or a summer’s
day. you are a woman;
the one i’ve been praying
for.
i love the reality of
you: the look; the feel; the
earthly architecture of
your celestial
soul.
i glisten in your
nearness.
all i can say is
i have never been so
happy, with so much
happiness to
share.
