suddenly rapturous
you
were all that i knew tenderly
you,
my melodic sanguis–
my
life–and precious stone found
tumbling
over the earth, a buried treasure
in
a garbage heap
unexpected,
you, a daughter of sinister
dreams,
chose me to be
to
be your eternal companion (eternal companion–
those
were your words, and soft
entrancing
they were)
believe
you forever, i would
saved
from an anguish unbearable
i
gave myself over to you to keep
to
hold to gather to worship
to
admire requitedly (all alone you
gave
me this
no
prompting) and i let it go
let
go every transgression
untruth
and burden (it was the nature
of
my feelings that i never bore it ill)
savagely
i loved you loved you loved you
and
i held you when you wept
dammit,
i held you, and i couldn't
getenough, ever
i
turned from rock-cut art to flesh
to
grasp you, comfort you
to
let you grasp me, comfort me
because
i loved you (or was
overcome
with rampant infatuation),
sweet
one, until the day
you
decided that a walk in the park
sounded
more appealing
than
the touch of my trailing fingers
