Description
You come to me infits and starts,
moments stolen
between projects,
minutes spared
from more
important things.
Are you really so busy?
Or is it something more?
A fear, perhaps, that
should you taste
me too deeply,
the hours will spin
away beyond your
ability to catch them?
That your thoughts
will no longer heed
your rationality?
No? Shall we test it then?
Today, give me your
undivided attention -
just one day with me
in a quiet room
among clean, scented linens,
October breezes
fluttering the curtains
as bright morning slides
unnoticed into afternoon,
shadows growing unhurried
toward night.
Now, tell me again
how busy you are.

I love this piece. I found myself writing something kind of parallel to it and thought I might as well show you:
I go to you in fits and starts,
moments spared from projects,
minutes stolen from
really
truly
less important things.
I go to you before dawn and into twilight,
shifting restlessly into dawn again without sleep,
as much as I can
if I could
if you could
find your way to the other line.
I go to you when it feels like forever without you,
when I can't stop thinking of you,
and I hear,
soft and
clear,
our music play.
I go to you when I can't stand the distance
and I leave, just the same.
