Born on a certain date in the Gregorian calendar was a man
my muse, my absinthe, my obsession, I remember I can
gleaming eyes, ebony skin, an aura of masculinity
Under a moonlit night’s rain, we danced
to our soul’s content, merging into one
our souls spoke to each other as we lay entwined
every kiss passionate, every move a gentle dance
we painted our shadow across every wall of every hue.
Heaven envies us my beloved, look how hard it tries to keep us apart
and yet somehow, we remain braided.
in your eyes, I find my shore, my salvation
Wait, is that fear? where would I go?
Find me, I am in your heart, in your soul, I exist within you, I am you.
We have played this game of hide and seek long enough,
Through centuries and lifetimes, we know the rules
it is us, finding our paradise again even if it is through a single glance.
I see you weep silently as you hear
of other star crossed lovers and their unfortunate end.
it reminds you of us, of the end of us, of the time when I became we
your soul remembered the memory that this body couldn’t.
there is a world my love, where rules don’t bind us,
where this body is sexless, where our soul is limitless
and it is there that we shall find us again.
