you are warmth in the coldest corners of a room
By some magnificent gravity my eyes are drawn to you
And all spaces filled are tender tall and true
Borne up in waves of roiling wondrous blue
And in the light your shoulders glowing gold
Your sword in hand and vanquishing the cold
And all dust and dirt are deemed endearing
And glorified upon the hearing of your shining shining name
Of your shining shining
And the sacredness of silent spaces
My fingers fumbling at my laces
“Don’t go, don’t go.”
And spinning on your kitchen floor
To hold you close forevermore
Don’t go, don’t go
And though poetry may fade and pass
All my heart can humbly ask
Don’t go!
I watched the sun through the window
I watched the sun through the leaves
I watched the sun on your shoulders
I heard you breathe
I heard your heart beating
I pressed my head to your chest
And I heard the doves mourning for suns that have set
