CAN I WRITE YOU

Can I write you

May I slip into your eyes

In search of words to describe

Can I move as a soft caress

Upon your skin

So as to fill my pages

Can I bathe within

The trance of your beauty

Gathering words of poetry

May I capture your glow

Your warmth, your smile

Your memory

For life has been upon me such

That I know

I cannot long hold you

For an angel never could be held

But if you will

Might I hold you dear, forever

Upon the weathered linen pages

Of my mind
