I am so far from you
Yet, I long so to soothe you-
To mop your brow and smile
Until the sides of your mouth curl too.
I want to mend the pieces
Of you that lay scattered
And rub in oil
Until you sleep.
I want you to wake
With the sun pouring on you
Its warmth and comfort.
And when you'll arise,
You'll be new and fresh
And unabashed-
All of this I wish for you,
My love.
