how to address

Beloved

the one

You want to touch

right now

and hold the same door open

in a way that will allow

a message

to reach massive throngs

as You will

and You can

without offending with shere volume

that Your words may ban

I type for You

and listen

Lover

Your words kiss my brow

and whispered

sung

or rhythmically drawn

some way will allow

if necessary

You'll slip past

the guard

who sleeps alone

when he ought to be at attention lest

some move the stone

but most who read this

want to hear You

maybe not through me

Sweet, let me frame it

so that You

are

all that they will see
