HEAVEN

You want to create new words
to describe these feelings and
to feel your soul-mate's heart
pulsing through your veins and
glass boxes to hold your dreams

You want to transcend the mundane and
acquire new answers to
old questions and
to find what is lost
or missing in yourself

but most of all

what you really want
is a piece of the sky
to call your own.
