to the beat of your heart

For you, I would

capture the candlelight

in the palm of my hand

Give my breath

to give it life

A whisper,

‘My love’

So that it may grow

Bright and hot

And burn me

For you, I would

drink the salted oceans

Until their depths

Were swallowed

into the depths of me

How deep it is, this life

This love, for you

I cannot touch bottom

I never will

For you, I would

mine the stony earth

Until it relinquished

The secrets of time

Cracks in the stone

wrinkles of the Earth

As she turns her face

to another new day

And so I wish to live

Every one of mine
