time or death
I twist like a sunflower at the sound of your voice.
Basking in your resonance, I’m thrilled.
You’re my center. My passion.
With you, intimacy coats my soul. Slick with possibility.
Even my ‘hello’ sounds like I’m bidding you, “come here”
Your scent intoxicates me. Drunkenness saturates all my waking moments.
And I? I want to vanish into you like sugar into hot tea. I want to dive so deep into our waters, I become a fish.
My river winds, steering me home amongst your skin. My love meant to find you like the sea.
Ebbing, flowing; we return to each other in waves. King tides.
We fill each other’s coffers with devotion.
Our cosmic lullaby: shallow breaths against each other in the darkness.
You’re the first encounter, beaming me up in love.
Painting me a heaven with the shape of your mouth.
Celestially beautiful, life waxes and wanes around our gravity.
Pulled together by something stronger than time or death.
