Mind's Release

Know

.

Your knowingness I crave

Beyond your body and your heart.

Share with me that certainty,

That blessed affirmation

Of a future so familiar

Which we carved into palm.

Let those carvings be our guidance:

The initials our compass;

The heart our world.

.

And you know how I doubt:

The next time we look at the tree

I imagine us then dispersed.

Constant is that guilty suspicion that our compass

Was crafted of dreams entirely;

Otherwise what angst I face

When I should tamper with cobble.

.

I drift into my unknown

But your sigh draws me back

Into my harbour

And to mine your palms press;

Waves of emotion,

Tides of affection.

.

I know

That you know

That I don't know.

So you share with me that certainty,

That blessed affirmation,

And we walk under palms upon cobble,

Palms pressed,

So I know that all I need to know is you.

.
