Have me reach your love beyond raven walls,
further than the lacuna of my query...

I have grown under your watchful wings
shielded from threatening insecurities...

I first learned to smile
because you shared your happiness...

I felt your death and
rebirth on a Tuesday...

You are
more than just a melody to me...

You ask how I feel?
Exposed - a newborn...

I hope I don't see you in the morning.
I hope our paths never cross again...

You feel like you are clenching
ten iron nails around your fist...

You hear me perfectly,
with an audibility that even...

You are everywhere,
on the lifeless nights where I wonder...

At twilight
my heart warms itself to you...

You can't say I don't have any more
home runs left in me...
