unfolding my heart like the
petals of a rose in bloom,
i call to you in darkness
and see you in the light.

you, the fire burning through
my veins; the pulse within
which beats with sound and
fury each time we are together.

i cherish you, my lover.
far beyond the scope of
seas, depths of fathoms,
stretching for miles.

i need you more than
mortal lungs need breath
and hold onto you, desperate
never wishing to let go.

why do the stars appear
that much brighter when we
walk underneath their
celestial canopy?

why does the moon appear
to illuminate the entirety
of the world whenever we stand
hand in hand together?

i can only imagine such
inquiries are akin to asking
why the world revolves around
the sun, seasons turn to years.

i only know, i hope those
seasons, years, those eons stretch
beyond the scope of my
limited imagination.

because you are, and shall always be
the lifeblood of my soul,
feeding it rich with desire and
offering it a place to call home.
