Yearn

I would wrap your love
around me 
like a coat.

I would let your hands
be the sieve
that caught 
my soul. 

I would let your lips
be the 
parachute
that I never
checked. 

I would fall on my 
anger like a 
sword. 

To die at your feet
is not just 
Love, it is
Religion.

To break and be mended
by hands 
divine
and flesh
and soft. 

Like stained glass.
