All Rights Reserved Poem

oh love you would be mine

if I could only plant a flag in you

if I could drill a number in your underside

I’d gladly part in faith you could not stray.

let me change you darling

let my band upon your finger like a

brand upon you linger, let them know you

only by my name or else disdain you.

love, do not forget me

forget me not, oh please recall my touch

my voice, you leave me incorporeal

haunting, haunted, hungry, darling,

less than a reflection of the hour we were whole.

devour me again, I am to blame,

so name me, oh beloved,

we both know this game

and I am nothing, nothing

on my own.
