It seems to me
He said
That you can be
Extreme
I mean, after all
You picked up
And moved here
On a whim
To be
Close to me
She thinks about it
Thinks how
She feels
Then meets his gaze
And says
If a heart is merely
Indifferent
If it makes no
Stand
If it takes no
Risks
If it’s lukewarm
Flat and
Measured
Is it something
You can count on?
Is it something
Worth hanging around?
I could skywrite
Your name
In the clouds
She said
For all the world
To see
I could
Write you a
Song
And perform it live
On Youtube
I could
Name you in
My will
I could buy
You flowers
Or save
My money
To whisk you away
To Peru
I could tattoo
Your name
On my breast
But nothing could
Speak any louder
Than rubbing
Your aching
Shoulders
Or reading
Your manuscripts
There are dozens
Of ways
Of every dimension
To show someone
Affection
And they all
Dance the
Ego’s waltz
I moved here
So I could
See you
I moved here
So you could
See me
A stand
A risk
A statement
If nothing lasts
Forever
If it’s all a
Dream
Just an illusion
Then playing it safe
Means missing it all
What I wanted
To sense
When I opened
My eyes
For as long
As I could
Is
You
