Once completely stripped down,
you are even more fragile,
more sensual than my hands
could have ever realized.
You somehow become everything
once brought to a singularity.
It’s that sudden euphoria of being tied to another.
A glowing velvet summer skyline
right as light folds against the city,
the radiance of something I once lost,
you become an indelible landscape
of the countless brilliant stars,
unknowable nodes touching with their glows,
the cusp of something that I still cannot name.
And as you slowly move over me,
I think I feel the earth shift,
or the invisible live wires that
are always thrumming between us.
Once completely stripped away,
you are even more complex,
more mysterious than any soul
that mine has ever hungered for.
You somehow become everything
once brought to a singularity,
something rooted in the present
that still echoes with my past.
It’s that sudden euphoria of time
tying two together with unseen cords.
I see a marigold skyline aglow,
brightness folding against the city,
magnified by the curtain of your locks
spilling across my face like silky waves,
some memory of summer breathes here.
Flashes of love made in a humid dusk,
every tender pulse point searched out,
a familiar surge in the blood where nothing
seems like it may ever die or end,
and your body perfumed the spreading dark,
I never told you that I’d carry the scent forever.
You become the indelible aroma
of love’s once forgotten mist,
unknowable nodes begin touching the cusp
of something that I still cannot name.
And as you slowly move over me,
I think I sense a planetary shift,
a world within reach that thrums
with the invisible live wires between us.
Once completely stripped away,
you become pure animation,
brighter than any soul
I’ve neared the incandescence of.
You somehow become everything
once brought to a singularity.
It’s the sudden euphoria of seeing
everything you really are,
of understanding without
a single word exchanged.
Of being on the cusp of something
that you and I need not name.
