The things i would

If i could fade
as the evening light,
to seal your day
and bring you peace.


I'd wake you with
a slow sunrise,
and enchantments
of golden morning.


If you could enslave
a dream of love,
I'd strip fantasy
from your awe.


I'll maintain your lilies;
keep ever-bloomed.
My hands would wilt
with pleasure.


I'd be the star
that fends of the dark;
to guide you,
to bring you home.


I've yearned to be
your roaring laughter,
bought to you by
natures theatre;
fox-play in unblemished snow.


Uncertainty grows
and withers my will.
My abilities fail your needs.
You reassure my unrequited pleas
lay scattered about your feet.
You brush them with a dismissing sweep;
a sweep for the unworthy heart.
