You

I prose for
you
poem just for
you

Teach me to taste
the lament
that runs through
you
and now
through my
verse

I poem for you
only

I circle your soul

an impatient
moth
no fear of the
flame

I light into your
being
and
swallow your pain

inhale the goodness
in you,
that you've forgotten

my ink
my blood
scribble into your
heart

gathering red
mercy
love
passion

my love
unshakable

I poem for you

only
