of you

what i most need

is not your seed

i have that and i have you

and i have who i am

of you i need the how and

the what and especially the why

of all of you, that is my need

wish i'd had it all my life

you make your independent

patterns of my thoughts not

paint by numbers at all

walking with you i'd never fall in love

to my left or to my right,

only with you. life would be easy

like it is to me now. you are the way

for me, you light up the moon

so i can see, you are the arrow

that shoots from my eye,

you are the spotlight that shines onto

the flag of our country, mine and yours,

the kingdom of us

i am the queen of my king

together we have a castle

we bury bodies in the deep moat

because we love that water there

and because we can
