scope and scale

The length of your limbs, 
their compass and scope 
is in perfect proportion 
to dare-squared hope

And this is a draw, 
a call, and a wall.
So I will size you up, 
by sighs and by eye,

seize you all shape and form,
outsize and inside
- I will 

find a measure 
that sticks 
and fits. 

I'm scaling
y'all.
All of you 
that you give, 
which is all
and more I can seize
and see, and feel our
way up to meet,
match, 
mate,
quick fast  
in a rush, and
lingering out 
in languor, luxurious
knowing and such, 
without any doubt
to give pause, 

or quit. 

Occasionally we 
have to stop this shit! 
But eventually, it
was 
only a moment's 
respite.
