Echoes of My Love
I need you,
my words echo in the distance,
into an abyss of darkness-
Your eyes sparkled and I spoke with my fingers.
Your touch, it held me...
my words you grasp.
I need you,
my words were deep seeded
in reminiscence into a chasm of nullity.
Your fever broke and I awoke with you by my side.
Your lips, they held me...
my verses you comprehend.
Humanity resists with adherence,
yet you show discern for my complicated mind-
Your mouth without guile,
your hands toil to eternity to provide our daily bread.
You curl your grace around my spine,
the heavens fall and tremble at my feet.
I need not anticipation of tomorrow
as my sorrow is bloodstained and
I am reborn.
Does this love even make sense?
There are too many metaphors to disentangle-
too many syllables to count.
For the comfort of my skin against yours
outweighs any fallacies we may encounter.
