Giving...something...The Gifts I Would Give? (Early Very Rough Draft)A Poem by Arly ParentEarly Early Rough Draft-
My love,
what are your wants? I would give you everything you could ever hope for. I would pluck stars from the sky and seeds of life from the earth for you. I would make you head of all that is, your every word made whole(manifest?) I would end war sow kindness in all the world rain diamonds upon the street build pockets of silence where you can retreat and share a place just with you where our love can unfurl I would give you anything, if you would but name it. My heart, you could give me children who loved me for all time give me lips of stimulants, lullabies, sweet succor, and bracing courage give me standing over all things I see, placing no pedestals higher than me shower me with gifts and tokens and all the world and it would be the sweetest of sweets But it comes down to this which is all I'll ever need bake me something that takes forever and one day a quick recipe a pinch of kindness, a teaspoon of care, a cup of effort, dusted with loyalty, and thickened with trust. My wife, just give me you all of you to care for give me give me give me give me give me and I am yours now, tomorrow, and forever
