A Poem For You

a poem for you... because to speak of feelings, tender as first shoots through snow, would weight them in concrete drown them in hesitations while a search for right words stutters forth as butterflies they might leave my mouth only to die of misunderstanding. even such license as poetry grants yet it is not nearly so fine as the ink from god's nib that writ in stone and stars the history of loving another grass has greater tongue to sing of the stirrings that move through as I learn the lessons of you. every form and cell that pulses creating each day again and again a wonder of laughter and purpose, still moments, wherein peace lies. mind to mind thoughts roll like surf and the heat of you beside me skin to skin making love.
