As if I could hold you
Just as you are,
With all of your feelings
And your memories,
Body, mind and soul,
All of your hopes and dreams,
All of your family and friends,
With your education and your career,
Your hobbies and preferences,
All in one motion,
One embrace,
A single kiss,
A poem

As if You could give yourself to me,
Like a beautiful sculpture,
A work of art,
A delicacy,
Something that I could taste
In the heat of the moment

Like wine
As you move underneath me
Lost in the passion
Working itself and working itself
Into a single flower of expression

As if it might last
Here, in between us,
Within us, becoming something more
Than a moment of release,
An empty dress

As if might be a moment of revelation,
A pure, simple understanding
Of what is beautiful and meaningful
In the world

As if it might not fade quickly
In the open air,
The changing seasons,
The passing days and months and years
