To place You in my heart
may turn You into thought.
I will not do that!
To hold You with my eyes
may turn You into thorn.
I will not do that!
I will set You on my breath
so You will become my life.
Rumi

heart - thought/ infatuation??
eyes - thorn/ disappointment???
breathe - life!

disturbingly deep. intense. beyond me, even.
