Cornered

You have me cornered
in a book. You have
every word but not the
face. As I remove myself
from the pages so that
I am not that story,
I am not that fiction,
I am not that lie.
Yes, I have always been
yours -- in dreams, in
visions, in lines, in
pictures, in memories
of a time that never was.
But take a moment
just one moment
to be honest about our love.
Could it be that I would
go out of my way to make
a mark here and there and
everywhere, if i did not
have a Great Love?
Yes, my love is great,
and as established,
there is no logic to
a strange stumbling staggering
love. I agree that G-d
is laughing in every
dotted line.  I agree
that it is the tears
of angels that has brought
this mystery to unwind.
But what is next, what is now?
How can you even expect
with nothing more than
memories of goodbye.
It is your own hand
that has told me to
disappear and your
own hand that has told
me I am not here
to reappear. The magic
of the act is draining
me to a mere reflection
in the pond of the
little tears i drop.
I adore you with every
last breath, every
violent outburst, every
silence that we share.
I admire you with
every bone and desire
you with every moan.
