I Would Give You My World

I filled your life
with bits and pieces...
miscellaneous fragments
and  remnants of me
that you collected                  
in a small tin box
with scraps of scented wax
still clinging to the corners
then placed...
for safe keeping
on the wooden night stand
next to your bed

you kept me every where
along with my clothes
which I have worn
that still carry the scent of me
hanging in your closet

.....stuff
that you now wear

so when you touch
these many objects that I once held
you feel the warmth of my spirit
as our souls are tethered
by the black and  gold medallion
that hangs around your neck

I can feel your heart
beat.....against my chest
and your fingers trace
the pain and fears
that lurk inside of me
so that I need not...
..........speak of them
my words and deeds
you snip and glue to the pages of your life
to hold tight to your breast
when I sleep so far away

your smile occupies
my every waking thought
and your voice beckons
to my many needs
so that I could fill my soul with you
as we breathe as one

and I would give you my world
if I could.....
