Endeavor
And could I find the words that could describe how I felt,
I’d write them,
I’d send them your way.
Through river, through water
Through wind, through air,
I’d carry them on forbidden streamlines
And whisper them into the quiet ears of cornstalks
And cry them into an open theatre
And mouth them silently to myself in bed
Until finally, finally they reached you
And penetrated your heart--
The only thing I’ve wanted
more than anything else in the universe.
the only thing I’ve wanted
more than the breath in my body
and the pulse in my chest.
Words cannot describe how I love you.
Frustration bars the door of every entrance I seek into expressing
This simple, yet
All-consuming concept.
For you,
though,
I’ll try.
You know I’d try anything
Just to see your smile.
