Were I not in this place,
would I have asked to love you?
Would not the question have hung
between us and forever?
But in this moment, I am undefined,
without boundary, without end.
Had I folded my heart octavo,
would it have made any difference?
Or would the unchaining of ourselves
have continued apace?
Instead, the sky opens wide
and I am overcome.

Do you have books published? It would be an honor to read and own one.

Funny you should ask that :)

I'm actually working on one right now, but it's my first, so I don't know when/if the publishing part will happen...

Thank you for the compliment!
