Stolen 12/21/2009
 
If I stole the light from
The funnel of your eyes –
Would you therefore
Cease to see?

And if I snatched the voice
From the chambers of your speak –
Would you therefore
Cease to be heard?

What if I borrowed the taste
From your lips –
Would you so then dare
Not to whet?

If I stole the heat from
The love of your heart –
Would you therefore
Cease to yen?
