i walked into the room
& it smelled like a woman that i loved
but don't misunderstand me, okay?
i was in no garden, i was among no flowers

i was in the city, surrounded by steel

i was rainfall, the storm cloud

i was in the wind as it seared
her one and only face
as she walked ever uphill

this is a woman that i love
because she is so far above it

i wasn't among the physical

i was within the universe
as the universe was within her
as the universe needs her

and as i need the universe,
i need her

i walked into her
essence and being
there is nothing more, okay?
i am no one, i am her
