I'Ll Love All of You All My Days
I have spent my days in love,
breaking through the surface of you…
laid restless with your undeniable
essence, tasted your spontaneity,
comforted your loneliness, quivered
within your beating heart, breathed in
your fire…I’ve walked your path
before your tentative feet
marked the stones, counted your tears
when you thought no eyes
cried with yours, suffered the bruising
of all your pain, sheltered you
secretly from pouring rain. I could paint
a meticulous picture of every crease
in your tender smile and listen to your laughter
like a favorite love song for all my days.
I could spend every moment with you
and forever discover a nuance to love,
for I love you with all I am…
and if one day I grow old and lose a piece
of who I once was, as memories
become fleeting and my earthly days
become digits on my hand,
I will hold onto this…
(not a thought but a feeling)
I will know in my heart, the stepping stones
your feet have marked, and I will follow you
into eternal light of love.
