If You But Want Me Too Poem by Mark Heathcote

I will shelter you
if you but desire me too
I shall lie alongside you.
You can stir beside me
and I shall be aroused beside you
if it's but within your soul
if it's but too within my heart
I'll stumble on your love in the dark
I'll unearth its ebony residence
and together, we'll turn that key
and open the loneliest parts of you
in the most-isolated parts of me.
And together in our hearts
we'll reside like the sun and rain
like fire and ice
like oil and water
but in a complementary role
like night and day
like Adam and Eve
you will be the truest-measurement
the truest part-of-me as only
opposites can be.
