A Covenant of Two

Memories of what could be,
all the while listening to Yes, as yet another caller
leaves no message on my answering machine.
Could the impossibility of you,
with Leonard Cohen filling your heart with past regrets,
be reaching out to seek a new covenant with me?

I tell you repeatedly of my love,
I cry out the painful lyrics of others, as well as my own,
longing for the soft caress or your simple "Hi".
You know of my love of your home & culture,
& I tell you of my new-found desire for a Latin American escape,
but do you realize it's you I want -- anywhere you choose to be?

What can I say to you,
when everything has forever been said,
to provoke your response, to start new, to make our life?
What can I do for you,
as an Aries forever seeks to provide the Leo,
that will open communication, to renew the agreement of two?
