Courtship

I want to

plough the fields of you
plant the seeds of you
taste the smells of you
slip on the sweat of you
drink the juice of you
hold the flesh of you
digest the core of you

I want to

feel the anger of you
share the joy of you
enjoy the presence of you
accept the going of you
welcome the return of you
become the being of you
get lost in the otherness of you
take away with me the eternal memory of you

I want to share with you

the essence of me
the dark and the light of me
the love and the hate of me
the age and the youth of me
the laughter and tears of me
the noise and the silence of me
the coming and going of me
the beginning and end of me

Or shall we just say goodnight?

Though this wasn't written for Rosebud, it's quite appropriate to this affair, I think.-KD
