When I kiss you, I
Wish I were a butterfly
To taste us all over

When I hold you, I
Wish I were an octopus
To grip every bit

When I see you, I
Wish I were a dragonfly
To sprint to your arms

When I love you, I
Wish I were a big blue whale
To give of more heart

When I leave you, I
Wish I were an old dolphin
To keep mem’ries safe

Even with the bounds
Of human incapacities
I can contemplate

Thrill, Lust, Thirst, Longing
Anticipation, Pleasure
Created by us, for us

And so, I love you
The best I can with all that's
Pesky, normal me.
