Can I Have You?

Folder: 
Love

Can I have you

at the days end

when the Sun's

light diminishes

with the evening

breeze?



Can I have you

when the tide

rises and the

ocean renews its

motion with

nocturnal fervor?



Can I have you

as I lay awake

and watch you

sleeping peacefully,

for once, because

you know I'm near?



Can I have you

as the rain comes

and we, finding our

place in it, allow

the cleansing of all

negative thoughts by

Heaven's gift?



I do not seek to

possess you.  As

ownership is false

in a world where

we have created

nothing.



I do not look to

steal you.  As that

which is not given

freely is certainly

not worth having.



And so I ask...



Can I have you

when all is but

over and the end

comes to all things?



Can I have you

even as time

begins to slow

its eternal journey

towards infinity's

end?



Can I have you

to hold and to

cherish until we

are parted by

nothing less than

oblivion?



Be the cell that

powers my heart's

true beating...



Be the light that

shines so brightly

from within my

darkened soul's home...



Be the platter upon

which our eternity

is so gladly served...



Be the other half

of our common bond

made everlasting by

faith...



Will you be mine?



Can I have you?
