Write Me a Poem

You say, I am a woman made of dreams  
Blood, nerves, hormones, a dark womb
Dear stranger, will you write me a poem 
Of stardust, sweet lust, melancholy memories?

I am made of that strand of moonlight
Which descends on new moon nights
Lights a fire of un-wieldy obsession
In ocean waves, love pangs and lunatics

I am that curve in the arrow of time 
The miniscule now, all of your yesterdays
And as space, I churn far across the aeons 
Burning pages of a book written without us
