Could I
steal your
beauty,
or the
lines around
your eyes?
Steal your
provoked longings,
your colorful
aura
dyes.
Could I
steal
your dreams,
your wisdom,
your thoughts?
Could I
steal
these things
for which you fought?
Will you
hold tight?
Keep your
life-safe
locked?
Will you
come back
to join us,
your life-boat
docked?
I will hold
you close,
let
you near.
Treasure your life,
no fear.
They live through me.
Your lines
will be mine,
and so will
your dreams.
Letting life-boats
dock,
guided by
your life-beams.
