Subsumed

You enter my starry expanse— every thought I try to hush brightens. I tame my pulsations with restraint, afraid my asterisms will say too much. You shift along til you entrain my world— subsumed but never near.

The more we resist a need, the more we become the need...swallowing heartbeats until they bloom into opened eyes, allowing us to see the body of our blessing. I like very much the voice of your pretty resistence Laura...J.A.B.
