A Lover’s Prayer
Godspeed to you
May every dream be true to you
May you find a kiss
on which to build
a lover’s bliss
Left fulfilled
by nothing less
than the pain that you would feel
of a lover lost.
Godspeed to you
May every mouth be true to you
May you be kept
by an army of saints
Say you’ve slept
until the haze
of a morning new
says with delight
hello to you.
Godspeed to you
May every gift be true to you
May you be blessed
with struggles of old
Do not repress
But instead be bold
So that you might see
a heart of hearts
that could love
a man like me.
