Ode To Thee

I cannot say forget me For that will never fly Impossibilities like birds without wings Take my soul from your eyes I cannot say forgive me For I am not sure of my sin I take your fair heart with a fare start and balance it on the wind. the breath that is left inside my heaving chest is meant for the exultation of you. And all that i am in spirit, on land is spent in the loving of you. For love as it is, as rare and as cleansed is not a forlorn sensation. I cannot say this is the only way, but the direction I've paved is without the pace I know. And the love that exists refuses to relent, like the falling snow.
