How ?
You’re a Man,
I am a Woman.
And although I
want you
to be the One for me . . . . .
don’t you see . . . . .
If you touch me
and you do not TOUCH me –
it can never be !
You say you can learn –
but if you do –
and my heart still yearn
for the Word unspoken –
the tie –
that cannot be broken . . . . .
How can I walk
if you lead me
on a Road
full of hollows ;
how can I dance
to a tune
I can barely follow ?
Won”t my soul shrivel
and my heart cry ?
Won’t my body recoil
and silently die ?
And Me,
who wants to
dance with the Sun
and sing with the Moon . . . .
Can’t you see
you can have my Body –
but you can lose Me !
How do you teach
a flower to smell ?
You cannot tell
a bird how to fly . . . . .
If a river runs dry –
there IS no water !
If you try to drink
your thirst will sink
into the sand . . . . .
where it will stay . . . . .
You CANNOT think
Your thirst away !
