She said,
draw me
into your life
entwine me
in your love.
And I thought,
lust
fathers
the world.
Years later
when I would think of her
I would remember
that I lusted
after the mere form
of her shadow.

Hello Matt, lovely poem. Yes, we often desire those things that are most elusive and miss the beauty right before us. It’s the reason for a lot of divorce these days I’m sure.
*beautiful*
“lust fathers the world.” What a great line, Matt. Striking.
