Emulsify
Wouldn't it be a fine thing
If I could just sink into you?
Blend between your molecules
Dilute myself in your breath?
I always stubbornly drift below
Or float above, never integrating.
Always with me the tiny space
Between love and belief.
I am the fire in love with the air
I consume it and inflame
But what gift can fire give to you?
Is the warmth enough if you can't touch?
I would that we were both water
And could stir together, cool as rain.
And all my faults could therein diffuse
Buffered by the goodness in you.
