For You


it has been said that the number seven
exemplifies completion
to be made whole

can i count it not derision then that
you are
my seven

my longing for fulfillment

we are but strangers in our hearts
yet mine pulses only for yours

words written
born from a love that is not yet incarnate
how i long to whisper them in your presence

to be held by the very arms fashioned only
for that desire
destination complete
(there is that word again)

you waltz upon my thoughts
gently teasing me of things yet to be
the dancer in my dreams

i do not know your name
but i love you more than any other
and i am waiting

to be made whole
complete me
my seventh enchantment

i have always loved you
