In Rainer I TrustA Poem by ILuvRilke“I touched her perfect body with my mind”
And recognized beauty, unafraid and accepting
Realizing unanswered prayers are not secrets
They are hidden in our imagination Not unlike a bird on a wire If you would rest your grief upon me I will swallow your darkness This is the cross I must bear By all that I have done wrong I have come to understand blessings, And like a knight seeking redemption I have saved all these gifts for you I need to be heroic, like the teacher Rilke Improbable, noble, and fearless Whisper to me your despair And I will surrender to you that privilege Once done, we will build a castle on a cloudless slope In which being together is our only wish Slip off your night-dress, Dream I won’t let you go so soon, so embarrassingly full © 2013 ILuvRilke |
