Recognition

how is it
I can be so
invisible to you
is it that
I am not enough
or am I too much
absorbed
you took
me to a bouquet
of flowers
and ask me which
petal I was
I told you
I wasn’t there
I am more
the colors that burn
at sunrise
the smoothing
of one into another
hues that blend
into your eyelashes
as your lids close
in remembrance
then you said
you desired the
sparkle of diamonds
so I told you
to close your eyes
and I took you to
the eve of morning
and touched
your lips to
the flavor of dew
for I am more
the spark in a tear
from earth
the soft whisper
in the wind
always there
in simple elegance
do you not see me
see me as enough
or am I
too much

Perhaps the idea that he could be so lucky is beyond his grasp.
