Love isn't for dabblers

Who has seen my love?
    Who knows where my love is?
Tell me in words I can follow
Words that splinter & sparkle
    with new & unforeseen meanings
Love isn't for dabblers
    Only your lover can know you
It isn't called knowing for nothing
    It's the seed afraid of dying
    that never sprouts

Your bow is in the clouds
    Your arrows are falling with the rain
Inundate my world with your presence
    Since you're here
    I must be nowhere again
You tell me to be
    & I am
lying on the bed with eyes closed
    Open my eyes
    that I may see your wonders

Everywhere love poetry is being read at night
    there's a light drawn out of the darkness
A light sown only for lovers
    that's hidden from all except
    those absorbed in what they're reading
If I can't grasp you in the day
    Let me stumble into you at night
The brain thinks but the heart knows
Tear me up by the roots
    & hold my tongue
    Make me fluent in silence
