Haunting Had To Know
haunting me so i had to know
existence beyond the
understatement of your voice
hands kindred of your image
angles of footsteps figure eight
providing glimpses inside your future
or the significance of your past
Could we be made to last?
in the haven of infinite nuances
should I pace myself quietly?
will it bring me adjacent to your heart beat
single out what moves a smile or whence from you
how wide the shores of your patience
undaunted measure of family and friends
on whom can you depend?
the man’s man or a woman’s end
to tread your turbulent waters
with the necessity of gingered nurturing
If a whisper between us blends
alchemy of your slumbered meetings
deems deserving of your dreams
wishing myself the means
If I could have forever
are you there forever?
If not then…
it was worth the journey of your lucrative
obscurity because I had to know
how far I should go
why you haunt me so
