Would That I Could

Would that I could be the one 
to isolate the particles 
of density and iron ore 
weighed heavy in your breast. 

Would that I could be the sun 
that shines upon the icicles 
of hanging doubt and cold regret 
and melt their painfulness. 

Would that I could be the balm 
to soothe your brow with tenderness 
with loving kiss of mountain dew 
that makes the night fall still.

Would that I could be the calm 
fulfilling you in endlessness; 
in knowing this, I say to you: 
"I could, therefore I will..."
