anxiety feels like
a wild animal
trapped in my chest
fighting for dear life

a rabbit, cornered
just under my heart

You.

flitting through my mind on dragonfly wings
small enough to keep in my pocket
big enough to take up every inch of my mind

let me hold your hand
just for a moment

i want to know if you feel
as safe in my arms as i do in yours

this body is haunted
with the memory
of the universe
bursting at the seams
with things too big
to comprehend

one day i will be
back in the stars
and maybe then
i will understand
why

holy

with the universe sprawling above
starlight dances, shimmering, across your body
anointing your skin with the smell of moonlight

to reach out, to touch would be unthinkable -
but your light rings holy and pure
and i find myself on my knees in prayer

o, to be the man who worships
at the temple that is your body

lavender and honey -
dripping sweetly from a clever tongue;
your words pool against my skin
and i am helpless but to feel them,
each new sound a blessing
as i lose myself to you.

your love, a home

through daunting nights
and carefree days,
through raging storms
and encroaching haze;

through miles of land
and hours of time,
through the early sun
through the darkened sky;

wherever i may be,
wherever you go,
as long as you love me,
i'll be home.

would you sit here with me,
     eons apart, beneath the same sky,
and watch the hours tick away,
     with only the dance of stars
to tell us the night is passing?

the warmth in your voice and your heart
     isn't lost with the miles between us,
though the sorrow that laces your words
somehow seems stronger.
could i take your pain for a day?
