the calm of such tremble
bespeaks so much care
gladness
she climbs her mighty perch
with her heart everywhere
the rose of the beloved muse
she holds tightly between her
teeth
like
I speak in no riddles
when I hold you dear
I bloom in your unconditional
heat
hope offers peace to even time
thats so out of reach
when you stand so far but near
your beautiful emphatic heartbeat
pounds so strongly against my ever
listening ear
I have you
this I know
even though I truly don't
to some that would seem so very
queer
but not to us
for we are ruled
by an inner lightning veneer
that shines outward forth
making known
what is
right
true
solid
and clear
LOVE
for you
for me
for all that can read
beyond this poem here
why now,
I believe I could love you
even if you didn't really
exist
but know that I would rather
have you real
alive and breathing
of this same giddiness that I
feel
as you are ( and always shall be)
a true gem found
in my darkest hour of guess
and I do love you so
I openly confess......
