i do not wish you

i do not wish you

only sometimes that you should look at me
with eyes that acknowledge my soul
and think it beautiful enough
despite its shell

only sometimes that you should touch me
with hands that mean more than
to spare a gawking beggar loose change you no longer need

only sometimes that you should smile at me
with more intent that to win the confident wager
that you will never fail to make me feel blessed

only that you should speak to me
because you need to hear my words
and not because you think i had to hear yours

only these

nothing more

a man of god	old times	spaced out	stars too bright
