It seems all these words
Tall, Dark and Most Unworthy
Are solely for you
Know that You, Tempter
With fair, yet transparent shell
Are hollow to me
The blush as I stare
Just as hotly checks my soul
Which has sent you off
Precious are these times
So I cast my eyes away
Miles and miles away
Had I spare minutes
I'd give account to your loss
It goes on and on
Her heart in command
Whether days be bright or dark
She walks forth in truth
The flowers watch her
She shows them color and strength
They follow her lead

What is the loveliest thing
I Am thatWho is the most humble One
I Am HeWhere does the Earth need the Sky
I Am thereThe way we must live to fight well
I Am howThe reason that they will hear hope
I Am whyThe now to remember your strength
I Am when
No heart involved
No
It is the skin
It is the thick and the tender
That the blind won’t abide
That the visionary won’t avoid
The rough and the soft
The sweat, the tears, the blood
Which ought run free
Which prove the day-in and day-out
To beautify that veneer
To strengthen the hearts involved
I inhale it all in
Back straight and stretched
Allowing air into places
The world bids me to forego
Just when the stiffness
The starched, itchy-stickiness
Tries to take over
To bubble over
I exhale and come away
Clear-headed
To look in your eyes
Whoever the man you are
God give me the strength
In the event they think they can
Or will or should or ought
You’ll look them straight into the eye
And bare shoulders long hard-fought
I begin
At the beginning of you
You end
At the end of me
This is not weakness
Grow my little love
Beyond and bigger than me
Your strength mine delight
Since I was seven
Or sooner
I’d the biggest biceps
The fleetest feet
See how I saved you
Before you knew to feel
Afraid
All it is now is late
Tho’ fixed more mighty than then
I’m ready to jump
Jump
Jump
And this time
Let you catch me
