How do I sow for you a flaxen field that shimmers like your hair

   when I haven?t any seeds in my hand?

How do I play for you the music that is your voice

   when I haven?t an orchestra or a band?

How do I paint for you the ocean swimming in your eyes

   when I haven?t a brush to swirl?

How do I shine for you a gem that glows as softly as your skin

   when I haven?t a sapphire or a pearl?

How do I shape for you a vase that has your sensuous curves

   when I haven?t a potter?s wheel?

How do I forge for you a blade as sharp as your wit

   when I haven?t any steel?

How do I fill the trees for you with the song that is your laugh

   when I haven?t any birds?

How do I express to you the passion in my heart

   when I haven?t sufficient words?...

The only way I know how... unskilled though it is

   is with an enveloping hug and a simple kiss.
