i want to be a lost poem in a strangers coat pocket,
that conveys the importance of you.
to assure you of my desire, to assure you of dreams.
i want all the possibilities of you in writing.
i want to give your reflection.
i want your eyes on me.
i want to travel to the lightness with you and stay there.
i want everyhing before you to follow us like a trail behind me.
i want never to say goodbye to you, even on the street corner or the phone.
i want......i want so much i'm breathless.
i want to put my power into a poem to burn a hole in your pocket so i can sew it.
i want my words to scream through you.
i want the poem not to mean that much.
and i want to contradict myself by accident, and for you to know what i mean.
i want you to be distant and for me to feel you close.
i want endless days when its day and nightime never to end when its night.
i want all the seasons in one day.
i want the sun to set before us and come up in front of us.
i want water to run up to our waists and to be drenched by the rain up to our ankles with holes in our shoes.
i want to think your thoughts becuase they're mine.
i want only what's urgent with you.
i want to get in the way of the barriers and i want you to be a tough guy when your supposed to, like you do already.
and i want you to be tender, like you do already.
and i want us to have met for a reason and i want that reason to be important.
and i want it to be bigger than us, i want it to take over us.
i want to forget.
i want to remember us.
and when you say you love me, i don't want to think you really mean new york city and all the fun we have in it.
and i want your smile always and your grimaces too.
i want your scar on my lips and i want your dissappointments in my heart.
i want your strength in my soul, and i want my soul in my eyes.
i want to believe everything you say, and i do.
and i want you to tell me what's best, when i dont know.
and when your lost i want to find you.
and when your weary, i want to give you steeples and cathedral thoughts and coliseum dreams.
i want to drag you from the darkness and kneel with you exhausted with the blinding light blaring on us.
