Taming the clouds of lonesomeness

When I'd found 

the warmth of your waist replaced

            by sunrise ribbons

                                      on the bed, 

I felt no more alive 

              than cut grass 

                       pushed aside 

                                          by daisies.

My color 

      had drained.

Rains of worry 

                 fell untamed.

But for you, 

      I'd rope the moon

             or lasso long sunsets.

I'd break the clouds of loneliness 

                      to saddle

                                   joyful bliss,

Content to know 

        I'd tied the reins

              of love around your heart.

Willing to ride

             the extra mile it takes 

                      to get you home.

You've melted me down like butter upon toasted bread.

"But for you
my dear
I'd rope the moon,
and lasso long lost sunsets."
