I aspire to dive into the cosmos
and lounge around on Saturn's rings;
float among a cluster of newborn stars
and drink the starlight.

Maybe I'll stumble upon a black hole
and slowly dip into the unknown,
will I see you there?
You've been gone for so long.

Why did you assume I had no desire
to become nothing
with you?

Exhaustion tugging at the soul
like damp attire hung on a thin clothing line.
Blood red eyes carrying the weight of
crashing tides.

You've dug yourself deeper than the roots
of the most ancient trees,
and dressed yourself in anchors,
dragging you down into the depths of the sea.

You stole my breath away,
kissed me, and paused to exchange a gaze
then smiled sweetly in a daze.
flowers bloomed around your face;
your eyes reflected the pure
joy spread across my face.

Wandering through your mind
much like a traveler on newly found land.
Or like an astronaut roaring through
the atmosphere into the staggering cosmos.
I'm in a whirlpool of utter fascination
with you.
