The Muse

I thought of you and then you wrote
To say to me what I earlier spoke
That you want to see how my cheeks have glowed
And to show me the light that is missing in your part of the world
And I thought of you and wanted to tell you
That I want it all 
In all its dimensions
That I want that one house and that sand and the river
That I want to run like the big and free spirit
That I want to love without guilt, shame, or fear
That I want to be the person worthy of living

And then I wanted to scream to the seven winds
And in all directions that there might be
How I long to be the force that breathes 
A life into you and all others around me

After all has been said in the form poetic
The last line of thought was summed up with words less epic
Still here they are
Ringing true to my being
The sentence without a rhyme but with my hopeful meaning
I want to explode with the love that can't be contained inside my flesh and bone. 

I am impatient. I am stuck. And I need to go home.

The end.

Gone

I want to be near the flame
Cool as a spring breeze 
Gentle as a kind hand

Set me to a slow burn
Ignite me from the core
Let me disappear undisturbed

Find me this time
Let out a surprised sigh
I'll fall to my knees
Brush your bare feet
And forget to breathe
