i came here to love you
through lifetimes
i have sought you
in every pair of eyes
i have strained against
the touch of hands
needing to feel your essence
and in spring
when the air reeks
of rain and dirt
i pick your flowers
and see your face
strewn among
the fallen cherry blossoms
i am not here
on this earth
to pull punches
i am here to express
i unbalance the equinox
with poems
obsessive and fevered
this is the promise
my soul makes
time and again
in each incarnation
and life form i inhabit
on this brand new day
i awake in the hope
you will soon be here
with me

It’s good to read your poems again, to imagine your images and feel them touching me. Well done, Adriene.
