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?
