In Giving

in giving
you do not demand
that i part
with something

like money
or a object of value
like a diamond ring
or a prized watch

you say
you want a memory
love

in giving
you like that i part
with nothing
that i just close
my eyes
and leave you
with what
you can be
by my side

i know
it is more than
what i have

you want
me to give
myself to you

you want
me to accept
you

flesh to flesh
penetrating
the depths
of our
souls

tonight
