You slipped from my hands

like grains of sand

I’m left desolate

with just a hint of you.

A few granules remain

proof you loved me once

just enough grains of reflection

sifted onto my splayed palms.

You made an invisible

sign of the Cross

over my head

so You don't forget—

you winkingly said.

I answered in smiles

knotting you to myself

with invisible threads

—so You'd be free from regret!

I thought to myself.

Love is all I need

I could be homeless

I could be starving

The world could literally

Be falling down around us

But as long as I have you

And as long as we share

The same love we do now

I will be fine

I will be satisfied

I may even be happy

I don’t need anything more

I would be content

It would be enough

To lay in your arms forever

And never move

Never do anything more

But without you

I couldn’t function

There would be no point

To doing anything

To breathing

To working

To writing

To living

Love is all I need

And it’s all that can kill me

It’s all that can destroy me

It’s the only thing

I may never bounce back from

You have power

Do with it as you please

I need you to know

You are all I need

Cow on bluff,

facing freeway--

satisfied enough.

On her own,

she chews and chews--

with never a groan.

Naught a care,

far from the herd--

just sunshine, fresh air.

Mind is clear,

not like WE are--

racing far and near.
