To say why I loved you would be challenging.
I have endeavoured before,
to grasp the ineffable
But every peculiarity,
however inscrutable
enriches the cherishing I retain for your whole vitality.
Like...
The profound way you brandish your smile at me when,
you catch me watching you for a second sustained too long

It’s just,

when I blink

Coarse fingers fly through the curtains

riding the light.

They splay across me like starfish when my eyes are closed and I part my lips
