I Know Who You Are

I KNOW WHO YOU ARE

by Mike Finley

Day after day
Like a lover with a wound
I keep after you

What have I wanted to give you all this time
That I keep making offerings
And promises of love

Why do I run to you every chance I get
And tell you again of my ardor

As if I had the answers
As if I had the cure
For all of the sickness
That walks through the world

It makes sense to me
That I peel away the mask
And see the damp light of your seeing

O my loving loved one
My huckleberry friend
Cast with me up the waters,
We float, hands close
But never quite touching

How many times I have longed
To hold you in my arms
And give you kisses deep
My silent good companion

You the mind inside my mind
You the breathing presence
And though you have never spoken
I have wooed you all this time

My other, my angel, my flower
I write and you read
without words
