I Asked The Universe Poem by Barbara Villabol

I asked the universe for you.
I described you. I put in my request.

Compassionate
Passionate
Quick witted
Strong willed

Here

You are not what I expected
And you are all I asked for

In your eyes I see pain, kindness
vengeance, conviction, curiosity
friendship, love
empathy, anger, remorse

I have compassion for you beyond all I remember having for any man.

Now

In your presence,
I dance

Desire, so intense
I wake and find my arms aching for you.

I am terrified

My heart will burst.
