The Approch Point

Painting by john William Godward

 

 

 

I would approach my soul from yours,

opening the pockets of forgiveness,

beating my guilt's chest

just to see the blue

of your eyes collapsing

the night in a voracious silence,

as I leave behind

everything that has not worked

because we were never close enough

to know who hold grudges

or tire the years more.

I would approach my hand from thy

again and tenderly,

I would look through you

with all my forgotten wills

with all the lives that have just fled from me

and for some brave minutes

i would whisper what I can 't hear from my heart's mouth.

And as I try not to disappoint fate,

I would tell you my silly truths,

my paid sins.

and all those disasters that

still make me love you so much.
