What More

Nancy

I weep

For all I cannot give

For what I cannot share

Or be

I grieve

The life she would renounce

To give her love to me

I think my noble thoughts

And

Tell myself

I’ve done the best

I’ve sought this solitude

The only thing that I can do

For her

~

Light intrudes

Splinters my darkness

She sits

Silent

At river’s edge

Beside me

Her hand

Warm

Chooses

Claims

Mine

Together

We rest

On the sand

She sighs

Looking out

Across the river

Not at me

Watching her

It doesn’t really matter

Vincent

What we may never know

Or see or do or travel to

Love is ours

What more

To want

To wish for

She turns

Satisfied

Smiles

I followed my heart to find you

Just as you said I must

Now tell me

Love

Are we not worth

Do we not

Have

Everything

In one another

She makes me whole

H, for you
