I Wish You Would Stay
stay...if only for a minute.
dream-
our fate shall prevail.
Like dew drops encompassing a rose,
I covered you in the delight of morn'-
saturated in nature's goodness,
enveloped in the humidity of heartache.
Where am I to go without affection?
what path to choose...lost in a labyrinth.
breath...inhale with me.
remain-
with me by your side.
Without you inside my essence,
I am nothing but a delayed moment-
trapped in a cave of regret;
absent in a classroom of adolescence,
longing for adulthood.
For you are but a child;
I am but maturity, an aged ripened grape-
someday I will pour myself a
glass of merlot...
pretending you are keeping me company.
grow...inside my soul.
relish-
in the magic of my touch.
