I Had You

I had you as the rain stopped,
Hanging on my words,
Picking sorrows from your brain,
From your heart, from your soul.
Wondering where
And when
The next couplet would appear.
Line after living line,
Stanza after singing stanza.

I had you as the sun set
Drifting from laugh to laugh,
Smile to smile,
Hug to hug,
Kiss to kiss.
Drifting like the sun,
Down,
Towards the dark, cold night,
But shielded in security.
Kept in quiet faith.
Blissed and blessed
In the face of frigid fear.

I had you as the stars rose,
Shining in the dark
As bright as any astral goddess.
Unblinking in my face
As I looked on in wonder.

I had you as the sun rose
With eyes shut
In sleep,
In dreams,
In rest.
The sky moved,
Pregnant with the glow
Of a million hopes and dreams.
Across our faces.
Warming our noses.

I had you as the world turned
Slow-motion, movie-like before our eyes
As you were in my arms,
And there I have you still.
