Nolens Volens

My love,

In a different world,
a world with no borders;
no politics or pious pretense
of what is right and wrong;
no shackles of duty or regret;
no heaven or hell, but only
the divine insistence of now;

In a world that knows not
of possession, but only
the right and natural order;
the ancient, indisputable laws
of gravity and attraction;
the push and pull of the tides
as commanded by the
goddess moon herself.

In this world, if no other,
inevitably,
I am yours.

I have always been yours.

The stars
have known Us 
all along.
