As You Are

I do not 
Wish to
Call you
As a name.
Nor house
The responsibilty,
Harboured by words
That are frigid, 
And fit soley,
Into a frame.
Neither do I desire,
To see you,
As an object,
Reduced by
The limitations
And capacity
Of thoughts,
To be owned,
Posessed,
And aquired.
These types
Of riches, 
Can certainly,
Hold nothing,
Of real value.
But to know you,
Only, as you are.
A movement,
A force,
An action,
Living,
In this moment,
That which,
Became.
