clover

written june 20, 2009

and in my soul there's an ache

for i could never possess you enough

that a lifetime is completely inadequate

and in my eyes there are tears that fall to the rhythm of my reeling love

for i could never quench the heaving thirst for your presence

and in my heart, a deep desperate, lonely fear

that i'm in way over my head

am i too defined by your projections?

too ravenous for your approval?

afraid of the breaks of silence in the noisiness of our victory song

my love, you drown the delicate

my love, you crush the clover
