Ambition to be with You
Let me forsake the jugglers of zeal and the rapacious,
rhapsodic onrush to ambitious quests; rather, just let
me admire your quiet beauty and be content thereof.
It takes so little to make me happy tonight, and as lovers
there is no need for dazzling each other. Too long have
my affections been stuffed into the mouth of ambition
My singular ambition is to be with you and eke out a career
into getting to know all about you. Let me tally and audit
the debits and credits of lovers accruing and spending.
While assiduously counting the cost, I will have come
to the conclusion that the value derived far outweighs any
liabilities accrued and acknowledge it as a business expense.
Such is the crudeness of ambition; it measures with tweezers
what is incalculable and doles out fawning with the myopic
sight of a bean counter. May all lovers be forgiven for this.
No, give your love freely, never to count the cost, for
such a beautiful thing should never be weighed or lost. Let
abundance of love be admired, not tallied or counted.
If being with you is counted ambition, let me soar above
Dow Jones and rocket past bull markets that jumped over
the moon. Let my ambition trump Trump’s Tower.
