steering your aimless hands
preparing you to fly
into a future and a hope
Before you were born
I loved you
before memory had its name
my love flowed like rivers
unending, seamless as infinity
I loved you
before clocks knew how to count
and dust could touch ground
before galaxies formed to constellation
my love poured
incessantly
I loved you
before atoms could fold into molecules
and air blew wind
before light inflamed moon
and time stretched to eternity
my love for you
starred the night
cannot be measured
by weights or degrees
is boundless
unfathomable
incandescent
Imagine if failure could
be cleaned like laundry
and hours were prepared to wait
on someone else for a change
what if mountains
were slender trees
and flowers grew wings
in place of stems
imagine life as a chalkboard
where errors are erased
as unexpectedly as they are made
what if you could alter your steps
reach into the beginnings of history
and undo cancer
the prevalence of war
the makings of poverty
and its despair
As I speak your name
I can only wonder
if Shakespeare ever grappled you
was he too plagued by these thoughts
this perennial misgiving
you have baffled centuries
and your convolution makes me unsure
if Aristotle would understand
the depths at which you unfold
the underlying of your being
poetry is simply a name
but somehow I think that you
have sparked its form
gave birth to the meaning
it presently holds
and after all of this
I am still left not knowing
what love is
