Had You Not Been There

Had you not found my heart
watered it, cared for it
where would I - be found?
would I be composting in
some polar stratospheric cloud
with darkness all around
in some northerly-winter twilight
that never touches the ground.
Where tears are super-cooled
consisting of frozen-ice crystals
certainly not to be gently thawed.
Had you not been there, darling
to unveil my internal iridescence
my mother-of-pearl, these tears
would I have remained forever-
frozen, never to fall or heal.
Had you not found my heart
watered it, cared for it
I should not have loved once more
I should not have flowered
like a distant star in the universe
to meet you where you are
where you will remain to be
always no matter how near or far.
