The Universe Game

the universe game if i give to you a universe, you said to me this morning- what would you fill it with? a blank universe, you coaxed me this morning- tell me what i'd see. i said, unwillingly at first- i would not take your universe not your gift to give...not your stars. i would not take your universe if you gave it on bended knee. -but if i had a universe, a blank universe i'd fill it with ecstasy storms and kissing maids romping with bright hued braids twirling and child's first prayer that electrifies grass blades and butterscotch ice ponds and fields of wildflowers and books lining roadways and words raining sideways- with trains running backwards and time moving slowly with music for dinner and dancing for sadness with lovers and mothers and magic and you. perhaps i said, as i rolled close in the sheets i'd just fill it with you and i- and i would love you when the sun did shine and when the sun did not. and i would love you when you closed your eyes and i would love you as you wept. love you as you walked toes tickling my ground and sand and i would love you when you sneezed and as you sang and as you aged. and i would love you sleep to sleep- my tiny universe to keep. sahn 11/19/2014 thank you as always for taking the time to read my work.
