For You, Whoever You Are (Dream Girl Blues)

Folder: 
The Letters

 

When I find you,

 

I will start to make sense 

Your laughter will hit me like 

a fatal hurricane

your presence will sting like 

an empty bed

 

I will melt completely

 to a puddle 

I will invite you to dive in

and swim 

as if you are

careless of drowning 

 

You will have to 

break me down into

pieces small enough to

fit in your pockets

just so your fingertips can always 

feel me there

with you

 

and I will write you love letters

I will lick your name across my lips 

I will follow your soul into the masses

 

until the lights go out

 

then I will color your eyes into stars

I will set flame to my own body

if it is what you want

I will be the miracle you did not

know you were praying for

 

I will set right the chaos of

your maddening heart

and find you

disarmed 

because mine will touch you in

places my hands cannot 

 

I have been sweating

for your love

I have been shaking in

the coldness of

let downs 

 

shaking 

from the violence of waiting for

 

what never comes

This one makes a lot of sense.  There are some emotions, especiall of desire and/or disappointment, that can only be expressed this way.  To express them in some more prosaic, more "established" way is both to belittle and betray them.
