For You

I wish I had a way To watch you close your eyes The moment you give up searching For reality's light lost and lurching. I wish I had a way To watch you dance with fire In these shapeless bars of guilt Singing for each hope you split. I wish I had a way To watch you laugh so untramelled To find your world's secret chink The break of my desire's brink. I wish I had a way To blend in with your senses Like a flower over the wave For the dead calm to crave. I wish I had a way To carve your lost white outlet With my hands to absolve vainness Mould for you an earthen forgiveness. I wish I had a way To look boldly at your fear When your desires seem to withdraw Into tempestuous seas of dodecatheon law. I wish I had a way To watch you spread your wings With each great and each weak Flight you owe,flight you win. I wish I had a way To walk with you on paths That pass from instinct to need From need to wishes that concede. I wish I had a way To feel your weary hands hold The disaster along with the compassion Through time of destiny and passion.
