I Ask the Possible

I Ask the Possible

I ask the possible: love me forever.
Love me with all desire
Love me with the single-mindedness
of your most precious gift.

When the world has stretched open
its heart, its spirit
and put me into your arms
hold me
beside, underneath,
and on top of you
and keep me there.

Love me every night
Love me with the fullness
of every thought
that strays to me, our fullness
and satisfaction together.

Do not discard this.

Love me not out of the
weight of time
but the fullness of your heart
and spirit
Love me not as a job
but as your avocation
your bliss
the gift we have given
each other.

Love me for the meaning
of who we are
and have been together
Love me for each beautiful
precious memory
and for the potential
within us
and our days together
for every memory to come.

Love me in a new place
in a place not of
what has been known before
but out of what we know
is possible.
Love me each day
not to counsel the past
but to LIVE the present
and the future

Love me for the future
and I will make
the possible
a simple act
by loving you, loving you as I do.
