Contain

How must I contain you?
Your spirit is vast as the sea
Beating against the shores of my self
I will always remember your eyes
Searching my soul in the purple night
Drenched in the perfume
Of May lilacs and the serenade
Performed by one thousand crickets
Harmonizing with a heartbeat
Unaware, the solitary request
To enter your faraway world,
Your cheek against mine
My weary head rests
Between the space of
Neck and shoulder,
Autumn rains fill me up, they gather
In the valleys of dirty black streets
Flickering with little lamps
As another flame dwells in your
Endless dark orbs
They say I must have you
Affections do not turn so quickly
Far too many words to put here
But why?
You have owed me nothing,
Go in peace,
For I cannot contain you.
