Do Not Love Me

Do not love me to death,
but love me to the life I believed
impossible. Ask me if I want it all
and then hand me the lasso so I can
catch my own moon. Name the stars
after my accomplishments and seep
your confidence into me like the tea
of chamomile and the robustness
of coffee. Let this calm energy
take us night watching as the haze
of what we lacked, lifts.
