If there were thousands of galaxies between us
I would still traverse each one *searching

Swimming amongst the stars tonight
Head drifting through the clouds
Memories of sun and summer
Kiss softly at my wintery edges
A small impatient smile widens
Into one of pure anticipation
I can almost smell the green of spring
Entwined with falling snow's perfume
I miss you
Whispered only for the ears of fireflies
Their minuscule heartbeats precious
Lighting up miles of darkness with their love
Inspiring us all to race into the woods
Igniting a wildfire of our own

All of the passion has been ripped from me
Piece by excruciating piece
Layer by sandpaper-salt-wound layer
Until all that remains
Is the hallow, numb seat of my soul
Cradling softly to my shadowed center
*The last sweet breath of you

One can turn One's eyes towards Darkness,
One can turn One's eyes towards Light,
but I've found that it's most healthy
setting an eye quite firmly on each
with One's mind focused right in between;
while living right now before it's too late.

I pulled at your edges
Soft, straight lines at first
Then thick, caterpillar fuzz spirals
Echoing into the vast expanse
Of your deep under ground
No map or metal
To shine within those dark caverns
But the deeper I traversed
I noticed a glow
Stumbling upon soul fire
Left out here in the wild
Explains your constant thirst for foreign soil under bare foot
Chasing oceans of sand
Just to drink the same vent-salted water
Our tongues entwined over powers with sweet
Feeding the high of a new sunset sky
This place inside, it is golden
True
It's holy and priceless
Completely you
