If I Could Take a Lover

If I could take
a lover
it would be you--
You with your
long sinewy arms,
hands of a giant,
firmly-set jawbone,
thick brown, raised
brows--
grey vertical hair.
Your quick and easy
laugh along with the
twinkle of your
kind eyes alter any
equilibrium I may
have mustered
up for the moment,
so, I don't really want
to see you or hear
your deep voice
ever again because
what I think about,
what I want from you
I can't have.
I can't
I can't
I can't take a lover,
but if I could...

would I be yours?
