Let me love,

The way I know how.

Allow me the air,

Upon mine, your breath,

Sigh and exhale,

Inhale and gulp,

That You I sculpt.

Permit me won’t you,

To slow down time,

Sweet memory,

Our paths converging,

The slow dancing,

In the shine of the moon,

Two deer prancing.

 Let me be unrushed,

Moments granted,

Your vision met mine,

And brushed my canvas

Those long lashes,

Me burning,

To ashes turning.

Allow me a life,

With you,

Forever imbued,

With the black & white

Of love and loss,

Our joint grief-

Those wounds inflicted,

Bruise perfected.

And if you won’t, then,

Let me breathe just

a little longer,

Allow me to separate,

From my soul the danger,

You, my core,

Or die trying, to untie

The Black from the White,

Allow me, won’t you?
