you have my heart now

you have my heart now
you may swim the oceans inside me
now you have my hands
you may hold me til our bones are dust

see these flowers, wild in their climb toward
the sun?
shine on them, feed me with the warmth
of your tenderness

you have my faith now
you have summoned me from disbelief
my every breath worships alongside you

each touch, each sigh, a trembling testament to our love
our bodies clasped in color
shrouded in blankets of the light
we create

these moments float on the wind
cherry blossoms gathering at our feet
their petals
membranes fuse our fingertips
and sing us with the seasons

you have my heart now
you may rest among the clover inside me
