Stretched

I'm stretched with love.  I'm out of bounds with you

And just because the words always go south

Let me love you with godforgotten silences

When nothing comes between us but your cheek

Then I'll inherit the world, just like the meek

You are that world now, but also more

Out of bounds, a world without a world

Perfection, inaccessible, fused

Ideal and flawed reality, complete

In one crucible, tossed, burning wife! 

I reach in vain for limits to our life

I'm stretched with it.  I'm almost bursting through!

I scream your name.  I promise to be true .

But you hear silence and believe that, too.
