The painful poignancy of desire

Incantation

You can trust me
With eyes shut
You can love me
With total abandon
You can lean on me
With all of your weight
I will protect you
I will guide you
I will cherish you
I will carry you
Today, tomorrow and forever
I believe in mortal infinity
As prophets believe
In the blind visions
They silently channel
In their incantations of love
The truth is clear as day
I woke up to life
With this explosion of feelings
And that is how, my sweetheart
I will leave this world
