Love poem

Darling, let me dig 
into your spine and swirl
upward into your brain
and shoot out of the top of your skull. 

Let me sink down into your pieces and let me
flow all the way down your legs
and out of your socks. 

I want to lay down beside you in bed
and look at you for as long as I want to.
I want to gently massage your face with my eyes
until they pulse at the rate of your beautiful colors.

Darling, take me everywhere.
Take me everywhere we want to go.
I want to go retrieve our desires like treasure hunters,
fearless and grinning, sharing a map.

I love you beyond the hills I can see
from my window. I love you
in an ecstasy of reality. I love you
in a purity of now. I can't go on 

like this any longer. Every day I am going to go back
to the top of the poem and say it
all over again, in a different way.
