holding the universe

If I could but
clothe your naked heart
with the fabric of my love
you would shimmer
like the moonlight
in your eyes
but far away
in the sleep of a moonless
night I listen to
the distance between us
haunting my desire
with the memories of
these arms so empty
and these words so full
of the heat that is
colder than a love unfelt
in the spring time
of a heart so open
it would hold your
very universe in its embrace
chilling
and thrilling you to
the very deepest part of
your very own desert
