CAN I WRITE YOU

Can I write you

Can I slip into your eyes

In search of words to describe

 

May I move as a soft caress

Upon your skin

So as to fill my pages

 

Can I bathe within

The trance of your beauty

Gathering words of poetry

 

May I capture your glow

Your warmth, your smile…

Your memory

 

For life has been upon me such

That I know

I cannot long hold you

 

For an angel never could be held

 

But if you will

Might I hold you dear, forever

Upon the weathered linen pages

Of my mind
