Begging the Devil to Linger

Though I walk in the shade
Of great thinkers and feelers
I will fear no grief
 
Though I stand at the center
Of my own grand universe
I will not tremble
 
Your smile will be to me an outpost
And a blazing lake at sunset
I cannot exaggerate your claim
 
That there is someone else to love
Is the only thing that saves me
From my own devouring self
 
And yet may I linger in the shade
Of great thinkers and feelers
That nothing cannot be saved
