words will slowly bloom your heart open,
leave me wanting nothing more than
to know the next line of your story.
Formless we first meet,
unraveling in the dark until
finding the other’s light,
unstoppable once those unique
illuminations circle and join.
You’ll touch upon the places I’ve built gates around,
guards standing silent and as tall as the sky,
but one key is all you need to be let in,
further than anyone has ever been.
I’ll touch upon a darkness in you
that kept your heart so distant,
as if love became a fragile myth,
broken and built over with trembling hands,
one look into the mysterious rivers
of your eyes whispers to keep going.
To never flee from this infinite
lonely ache we know of so well.
This loneliness gave us a potent lens,
one peering into what the other lives for,
I want you to look inside me no matter what
damage the storms have left in their wake,
everything will finally become still when
your hand softly meets my cheek.
Through a glow cast by dreams,
words slowly give my heart to you,
leave you knowing that your name
graces every new page of my story.
Formless we first meet,
unraveling in the dark to show
our real shapes to the other,
unstoppable once those searching
pulses near and join.
I’ll touch upon an illumination in you,
brighter than any light you’ve ever been bathed in,
you’ll touch upon the infinite rivers carrying me to you,
the potent lens we viewed the other through will show a stillness.
One where no lonely ache flourishes
once our lips softly meet.
