Let Me
LET ME
When a smile pours
From your face in delight
Let me feel refreshed
In its liquid softness.
If distance separates us
Let me sense your spirit close
As you touch me deep
And light my way
Let me soak my soul
In your bright water
When shark attacks with gory teeth
Let me swim between
And bloody it as a matador
Or share its sharp tips
And as the waves
Swell us to the surface
The closeness of a heartbeat
Is all that separates us.
Let me be
No further away.
