I Wanted To Tell You
I wanted to tell you how,
early this morning
lying against you.
a great wave of gentleness
swept all my old wars
clean, leaving me here with
your body washed up in sleep
on the pillow beside me.
I'm here, home,
and empty of all but your deep
silence humming within me
I wanted to tell you
I love you.
