With this ring of truth

I want to wed a poet
Not in the usual (hetero)sexual sense of marriage
But in the spiritual, essential, passionate twining
of efforts.

I want to write together, if not all ways, than many ways
And sideways and upside down.

I want to be silly, serious, geeky, playful, dark, spiritual
And every other color in between.

I think we all long for that perfect soul-for-us
whom the world sees as just another poet but whom
I know is the exception that throws up the dialog box.

I don't want to possess you or own you
I want to attend you and have your attention

Will you?
