Someone You

You are the fragrance

of my words

on so many days

You are wishes

You are dreams

You are anticipated fears

And rejections

And a Universe of possibilities

If I wished upon you only

Would you grant it

And if you did

Could we birth

That fulfilled wish

In physical reality

Can you consciously choose

Who you twinkle down on

Or would your childhood friends

Songs of caution

Become the choir of your mind

Every day I fall in love

With some new form

Some new function of the Universe

Some new atom of Adam

Do you assume because

All the world is a stage

That I'm just a common player

Do you not see

That this is my religion

This is how I worship

This is my relationship

With any God I can perceive

How could I do any less

Than try to treat

Every man

Every woman

Every wave

Like she is the ocean

I do this in remembrance

Of all of our roots

And I know that you

May find this hard to believe

I have no will

No intent to deceive

Honestly, I feel like I'm learning to walk

Learning to talk

A universal Language

And if I could

If you would

And we had means

I would write these words

Down in our notebook

With you

Add a soundtrack

Always have your back

But this feels a bit

Like a glass lake house

I can see you

You can see me

But we can't seem

To build in spacetime reality

If I could I would love you like breathing

Be that environment in which you thrive

While still loving myself enough

To stay alive if you leave

If your heart moved on

To the next Benedict Cumberbatch

Or the next Harry Styles

Or the next Pharrell

Or the next Drummer

That comes down the block

In some moment where we've grown apart

Where our art became a distraction

From us or we found ourselves

In different years again

I see where I've been

And where I am

You see where you've been

And where you haven't

We perceive each other

Through different lenses

But I wish you could see

That I couldn't be your Noah

And you can't be my Allison

I can't be any other man

You can't be any other woman

You can be you

I can be me

We could learn and grow together

Becoming we

Is that journey your wish

If we could

Make that happen

Could you take that risk

Do you really want all my attention

Could you handle my Oneness

If I told you that

Guys like me appreciate you more

Than guys like them

I'm not saying they can't love one woman well

But they can't love all women well

I'm saying that I could love you

Like none other

But there would always be

My spiritual ecstasy

My Universal love

My need for people

And experiences

That move my pen

Could you love me

And let me love you

Even when life has monotonous moments

Without punchlines

When we just peel potatoes

And sip our tea

Your Avatar

With my Avatar

Your heart

With my heart

Your mind

With my mind

Realizing together

That the inner

And the outer

Are really one thing

And that the most

We can really do for each other

Is cultivate each other's bliss

If I narrowed my focus

Would you be burned by

The flames of my attentiveness

Or thrive and bloom

With that Sanctuary

With plenty of room

To spread your wings

And fly

Rest on my arms at night

Unless there comes a day

When you no longer like

Or you believe that I

Have broken some rule

Written by men

If you go

Would you come back again

I'd take that chance 

With knowledge

Of all that could go wrong

And all that could go right

Do you really want to

Illustrate the stories I write

Do you have time and interest

Tell me what's true

What if I said

I want my only someone

To be you
