Can I Write You

For life has been upon me such,
that I know
I cannot long hold you

Can I write you?
Can I slip into your eyes
in search of words to describe?
 
May I move as a soft caress
upon your skin,
so as to fill my pages?
 
Can I bathe in
the beauty of your trance,
gathering words of poetry?
 
May I capture your glow,
your warmth, your smile...
your memory?
 
For life has been upon me such,
that I know
I cannot long hold you,
for an angel never could be held.
 
But if you will,
might I hold you dear, forever
upon the weathered linen pages
of my mind.
