14. Hope
Tell me your story a thousand times
Tell it to me exactly the same way
With the same passion bouncing off the tip of your teeth
Repeat all your gestures
And I will gaze at them as though it were the first time I see hands
Shed the exact same tear
Let it reflect the light of the setting sun on your earth skin
Laugh in that high pitched laugh until my ears go numb
Then laugh some more
Do it all a million times over
As I watch with aging eyes and listen with muffled ears
Filled with newborn wonder
Every time you begin
Until my end
And when all is said
And all is done
Tell our rose story to my blossoming corpse
As my ghost whispers to yours
Filling the silence in the wind
Until life begins anew
And I again
Find you
