POEM: Sovereigns

SOVEREIGNS
2011101901 - c2011 WLC

Flickering shadows on the walls
Half-moon lit 'tween wintry squalls
Sparkling starlight in your eyes
Happiness in both our sighs
I watch the stars and colours then
Swirling where my breath has been
And feel your words, their implied task
As if you always need to ask

Won't you say you love me back
Provide me something that I lack
Inside myself, uncertainty
Looms before my sovereignty

Answers come with sultry touch
Reaching out, a mindful rush
Drawn-out exhalation
Accepting exaltation
Fingers streaming light
Only I can sight
A dream that we both keep
And still I feel you asking me

Won't you say you love me back
Provide me something that I lack
Inside myself, uncertainty
Looms before my sovereignty

Inside the night, my mind at rest
A simple touch should pass this test
If this is real, if you are real
All I know, it is surreal
Don't you know I understand
The crazy wonder that you feel

So won't you say you love me back
Provide me what I think I lack
Inside myself, uncertainty
Looms before my sovereignty
