Love Poem: You Could Watch Me

You Could Watch Me

Could you watch
Me watching paint
Dry and know
That everything 
In me, is thinking- 
Only you.

Could you know
That when my
Back is turned,
Even hell, in my 
Body burns- 
Only just for you.

Can you comprehend
That with you in my mind-
All reason, trust 
And Knowledge; 
I transcend.

More is something
I must feel; when you are 
Not near- because 
It’s only after then, 
That I envision clear.
