I would love to climb into your mind
and waltz all about your many more
entrancing thoughts
so go ahead and invite me in
give me this
for its just what I want
I would treasure your memories
and organize your fondest wish lists
I would sleep on an old lumpy sofa at
the farthest back wall of your brain
and want for nothing more than an occasional
fantasy and a kiss
you would never again have to be so alone
nor feel the constant emptiness of the
every day same
you could embrace me in your sleep's
sweetest dreams
and every wonderous waking moment too
but only if you so chose
I could sooth you with the gentleness of my
presence and make you laugh with my humor's
tickling claw
until you long for even more moments alone
so to better enjoy our joined oneness
the once quiet that mocked you
would now become a blessed haven
a quintessential mirror of what I would and
could make for you
in a word a
'home'
and in another a
'life'
and in yet another
the best part of all a
'love'
that's what the whole purpose of the
bittersweet human assignment is for
for each of us the opportunity to make
other's lives far better
even if only
its just one
the connection of the soul to another
through the barricade of human doubt
fear and the drapings of heavy human
flesh and bone is the key
take this to heart
never forget................
