Darling All I Ask Poem by Mark Heathcote

I could break without a sound
Slip down within these two ice plates
You left splintered in my heart
And drown like we never drifted apart.

I could say, I slept on a part of the moon
Cold and bright; but in every star
I looked I couldn't find one better attune
As bright as astral, as you better, aligned.

Not one in that great ocean reservoir
Not one reflects-back my darling
As, emphatically as much, as always you do.
Either side of a half-dark elliptical moon.

I could live thrice times as many lives
Beckoning to all the stars in the skies,
I couldn't find one more right for me
Bar none to match, what I once had with you.

I could break without a sound
Slip down within these two ice plates
You left splintered in my heart
And drown like we never drifted apart.

Darling all I ask, is could you
As, emphatically as much as, I do you.
As, emphatically as much, as you use to do.
Darling all I ask you, is could you
Darling all I ask, is could you
Darling all I ask, is could you
