I Loved You.
I loved you like that passing thought
you struggle to wear all day
to mull, to shine, to pearly polish
before it slips away
I loved you like a memory
I knew I wanted to keep
to bless, to carry, to hang ornamental
to bring with me deep into sleep
I love you now like the burst of scent
before a passing storm
which calms, which slips into sensory pockets
which leads me right back to my home
I love you now like I loved you then
but with knowledge, reflection and pride
to the enths of the earth, from my death to my birth
when I'm with you, I know I'm alive.
