your eyes, lonesome and listless
wondering if my hands would
ache for and seek the plains and
contours of your body i have

adored, desired, hailed in silence
suddenly, i thought to myself
why dare the days and nights that
would unfold after this very moment

when you can claim and exalt
the next ten years ~ see me
year, discover, discern and delight in

the scars and flaws that make you
the lines and curves that define
the one i love, my flame and my lifetime.
