Until there is nothing left

 
I can't give you the sun.
It's magnificence burns
Far out of my reach.

I can't give you the stars
They shine brighter
than I could ever glow.

I can't give you the sea
For it's hold is much
stronger than I could

ever be.

I can't give you the soil
Without moving the earth
And, I am powerless

To the hold of of a universe
That no longer holds power

over me .

All I have to offer you
is me.

Until my last breath
When my heart beats
No more.

And, even after that.

I am yours.

The sun, one day
will burn out
From the sky.

The stars, will inevitably
Fade back into it's backdrop
of ebony.

The sea too, will dry up
Eventually.

Just as the soil will depart
with the decaying earth.

Is the certainty that I will crawl to you
on atrophied limbs
with hands and knees bleeding
Burning with desire.

Waiting to dance with the fire
in your eyes.
To a song composed of
your dreams.

Made of everything you wish of me.

Until there is nothing left.
