Without You Poem by Mark. A Heathcote

Energise my heart with a winning glance.
If I were fain to look away, but glow
With every fibre of my being, I owe.
I would gaze at you with no more askance.
Then a flower casts a gentle shadow.
While wilting of thirst like a Pasque flower
For the morning dew to enrich its power,
'You're starlight here.' Nothing can foreshadow.
Nothing native or common about you.
You're more graceful than the prairie crocus.
Eyes on you, I hold the world in one breath
Eyes closed, and the universe is in focus
All's fixed, in rightful place, life, and death.
Darling, they mean nothing without you.
