I... Became

iwas Michelangelo 
your skin the marble (i considered),
but you sculpted... 
within deep sensuous circles of--molten earth...
i became,
a child of your dancing fingers
the water made wine to your lips,
a flower from stone
 
iwas Micchelangelo
i journeyed to every detail of your form,
but found myself.
