You

I want to slow the streak of stars
the lunar flashing curve
in the night sky
my love
I want the world to wake a little late each morning
the tides to ebb a little later
the sun to sleep a little longer
the fields to patiently wait the harvest moon delayed
the rivers to check their flow
my love
their waters stretching out and lazily
cascade over the lip
never quite falling
I want yesterday today and tomorrow
to blur into a never ending moment
as I sit across from you
my love
and see the woman
into which all women blur
and know you
by the touch that heals
my love

the caress that cares
the kiss that loves
the look that kills
