Feelings tenderness
reaching for him
wanting to diffuse
into him
share our lives
stay in your allotted territory
dictated to you by reality
but the reality of love is broader
more expansive
but you've been told the rules
and the markers have been set.
Sometimes I can sit on the sidelines
and see the field
and say it's beautiful
I don't pull at the stakes
I don't want to remove the flags
but then you come
and my being spreads wings
and wants to cover the earth
with you
with us.
