Cup

I sought love.
Drinking from the cup of your hand.
I learned to replenish which you pour.
I made sure your hands were always full.
Continuing to hold what you've poured into life.
My life.
Finding a language stirred to life.
To confess what's on our mind.
It takes a steady hand to fill the gap of what's missing. 
Your hand to my lips.
An ideal devotion to being our natural self. 
Finding ourselves half full.
Our thirst softening the more we pour
