The Time of My Heart is Here

The time when I wanted you has passed

for the time is now of the coming

of my heart to you

where I know that all is good

like the shiver of palms in the wind

I hold you

and want no more than

the wish of being in your side

for the thorn is the weapon

of desire and it knows that

you are the better for it

and not the use of it but the way

it shows you that I am around

and not the one who is

in the mending world

of light and form.
