Joseph Adler Poet Lyric

I Have Come

I have come 
to your 
sacred doorway
many times
with flowers
sweet words and
sultry rhymes
with entreaties 
and often a hunger
that would not
satiate
even after 
I had stripped
the vine 
of all its grapes
slipping through
tentative thresholds
that later opened
wide
finding my way
to that secret room
only perfect lovers
ever find
coaxing the latch
caressing the key
losing all sense
of what was 
left of you
or me
then leaving
in the chrysalis
of dawns half-light
never sure 
if the door
behind me 
was abruptly 
shut tight
until I showed up
within your eyesight
not at your doorway 
or from anywhere
not arriving
already here
invited from 
somewhere
into your everywhere.
