Will I be
Your wanting
Prisoner of what
Could and could not be,
Sitting, watching
Wondering
If I open up
Show you what
You've needed
And have yet to see
Even hold my car door open
Long enough for you to
Hear that the song playing
In the background
Is all I have wanted to say
And couldn't...
Would you be pleased
By this, by me
Or would you wonder
What happened to the
Woman who
Made you laugh,
Made you smile
Made you warm
All over
With sly words and
Veiled suggestion...
Would you act as if
Our conversations
Didn't cause
Nightly convulsions of
The come fuck me
Kind
With me over here
And you over there
And would I smile, look away
Act as if I never snuck out of bed
To jump on for
A second Just to say, damn,
Baby, I miss you,
And, I'm thinking of
You, too
If I come
To you sitting
Coy and pretty
And expose myself
As the one
Who has filled the last four
Nights of your life
With blind desire
Would you act as if
You didn't lust
Over words on a screen
Pictures on a page
A voice in your ear
A time or two
Would it be that way?
And would
I act as
If your arms
Around my shoulders
Your breath on my neck
Don't soothe me like
A Roberta Flack song?
If I told you
I want you in
My bed like
You've been in my head
Half the day and
All the night
Would you
Smile, turn away
Speak to me like
A close, but distant friend
And return full
Of regret to the
Safety of your nest
Sending every unanswered missive of
Mine thereafter
To your bottomless abyss of junk mail...
Would you lower me to that?
After hours and one
Sleepless night
Of waiting longing
For words of happiness, excitement, cheer
To appear across the screen
For you to say,
Yes, you moved me
And I want me still
Or would you
Tell me that
We will come together
Like we should
Blend like we
Would if we were one
With you holding me
Like your most prized
Possession
And me loving
You like it's
My life's mission
With you and I in
Dark corners
Hot showers
Tangled sheets
Because this is how
It's meant to be
And will I show you
That I do
Care to know you
Like I said,
That I do want to
Travel the inner
And outer
Of you,
Invite you to discover
The cosmic mystery
That is I
And will we love
Like there is no one
For you but me...
And no one for me but you...
We will do that,
We will...
won't we?
