Your love is oxygen in a flooding mind.
Life support denied,
Yet still we try.
A breath of life taken a bit too far,
A breath of might as we fight the world.
The water recedes as love does grow,
Pressures exceed anything I'd come to known,
Encompass me,
Breaking bone,
And as I heal,
I heal surrounded by my home.

I had been just good,
For goodness sake and none else,
Until I met you.
Goodness lacks a cut. Or does it?

Vivid memories of you: just a word or phrase.
Hiding meaning like a yolk in an egg.
A "Hello kitten",
A cheeky laugh,
The brightest smile,
I miss our past.

This life: a single drop.
My soul: An ocean unbound.
The source of ripples through the well of my existence:
A moment in time,
You.
An ocean of grey:
Infinite, timeless, vast;
Unyielding to change.
All transformed,
Drop by drop,
Unbound cascade.

The time we met:
You,
Changed infinite fates.
Patrick Jul 2022
When I was but a shadow,
You saw through my disguise.
You saw my mind,
Looked past the blight,
You held me close,
Untied this rope,
And retied into a neat red bow:
Uniting mind, body and soul.
