With every ephemeral glance within,
I’ve wondered how to piece together
every molecule of your ceaseless beauty,
how to imprint you into my very core
so the entirety of you can remain inside of me.
I’ve tried to write what this means,
describe the fluttering remnants
that draw our coupling closer
to create some fragrant essence
that will bloom out of love.
But feelings are not meant
to be canvassed with words;
they are meant to be felt.
So it would be foolish to pretend
you haven’t heard the whispers,
the cadences that linger in silences
too precious to remain beyond our reach.
And how could you ever ignore the warmth,
the immensity enshrouding our stillness,
a hidden presence that welcomes us
even in our heart’s darkest corners.
For although we are almost antipodes,
parted by the vast electric skies
and the depths of iridescent seas,
I am always with you.
Whatever season has awoken,
whatever contrasting hour we exist in,
we fold into our own beautiful timeline,
a seamless twining of months.
Of how snow falls on curled locks
whilst salted mist of the ocean spray
drizzles upon sun flushed faces,
the colliding remnants of our summers and winters.
These are the unmistakable signs,
the endless spatial music,
the traveling signals that say
I am always with you.
Just remember the rhythmic
hammering is my heart,
a unique reverberation
singing through each chamber.
Just remember the vaulting pulsations
that course through these vessels
remain as the relentless strums
sounding out the syllables of your name.
Just remember that we
are never truly alone.
I’ve wondered how to describe
the air shifting in your proximity,
the prickling electrical storms
generating between our skins.
But feelings are not meant
to be mapped out with words;
they are meant to be touched.
So it would be foolish to ignore my demons,
how shattered I was before you crashed
into every molecule that makes me
and will forever bind us now.
For although we are almost antipodes
parted by vast continental drifts,
speaking through iridescent glows
flashing across our separate skies…
I am always with you.
Whatever has wounded us,
wherever our spirits will crash,
we fold into our own beautiful timeline,
a seamless twining of vivid flames.
Of summer wind tangled locks
whilst sunlit shy smiles radiate
upon me in lush bitter snow,
the remnants of our contrasting seasons.
For these are the unmistakable signals,
the terrestrial shifts that say
you will always be with me.
Just remember the constant metre
in your breath is my heart,
a unique flow quietly singing
in tune with your every cell.
Just remember that I am always with you.
A passenger in this relentless current
coursing through familiar warm vessels
painting the syllables of your name,
canvassing the depths of twin souls.
Just remember that we
are never truly alone.
