If you give me words
I’ll make them look pretty
If you share your love
together we’ll build a city
of devotion respect and honesty
I’ll put no bounds on thee
though I will welcome you
into my arms you see
Everything before us will adore us
if we know ourselves
& love everyone else around
Make our Peace with the ground
& the sky why
I can’t help
but love you
for all you do for me
with me
& especially to me
You knew me
from the moment
we shared a space
on the dancefloor
We talked more
about Buddha & Krishna
my worldview your Guru
It was you who
believed in yourself
& that was wonderful to see
Believed in me
& that was wonderful to be
Believed in & trusted
It suddenly made me want to
be worthy of that
& in fact
gets me racing home
to hold you holding me
To lay my lips against yours
Like honey into tea
Like I want to be We
Like I want you to
remember me
Like with my heart
you I feel
You give me words
I take them
& make them real
