All I ever Wanted

All I ever Wanted

Love

Solid in a single word, two hands praying

Folded in balance as a confluence of angles

Meeting in apex and nadir point of fingers, mitt of palms

Flush with the lumps of flesh cushioning

Except one hand is not mine,

Absent of winter movement in the frigid icicle of snowflake

Accumulation persuading the call to drive away to celebrate

Foreign wayfaring moments into an oblivion ring of non-consideration

There is only here to breathe this self into a shared world

Pick me up when I am weak,

Pray for my joys like candles slipped under floating paper lanterns

Invite me to share your life and friends proudly

Bask upon me as normal, exceptional and yours

May I never sense your embarrassment in my introversion

May I be the balance to the thrust of your butterfly wings

May we be a family

Gray and clutching an accumulation from now explained by God

In his coy mischievous grin that he placed us together independent of the

Trials of this world to be those hands holding in place unionized to meld

What the other two can do for other and those in stationed pairing can do for our pairing

Let us own every moment that was the parallel path to here

Dead-alive memories bleeding and given a cancer second life

Let us not grieve or be embarrassed but own our choice in tempered peace

All I pray for is your happiness whether it is granted by your hand holding here or

Gone away from me, I pray
