Our Names Across the Sky

If they could sense your heartbeat 
They would frame it  
in the annuls of their minds 
And they would tap and hum to it 
In complete reverence  
of a lifetime rhyme   

If they knew what to wish for 
They would forsake the grief held in gory 
       lore 
Dress in suggestive clothes,  
make one wish for 
       more 
And write poems, songs  
and charming metaphors   

If they could see me with you 
They would bow and plead 
To fathom a sign they could too 
Someday  
have a love to keep
