I've tattooed the beggar along my left wrist 
with a bow and arrow 
signifying the tactics of 
shooting at the heart with accuracy 
screaming i love you 
with force 
raising my arms straight for clarity 
taking deep breathes with the knowledge 
the vulnerability 
to show strength and weakness that forge 
such power
that you raise your hands in surrender 
to divide all differences and cause collision 
into the sabbatical 
that strangles your lungs to embrace
the candied precession 
that boldly sharpened and soared from my strength
into your chest and lifted you 
into knowing that love is deeper 
and union prey on archery 
that loving you is way deeper than loving me
