I'm oddly synchronous
Contently ravenous
Confidently humble
Safely vulnerable
Truth be told
I'm weak yet bold
As I fall
Rising tall.

Though apart,
most every day
Our fiery bond,
finds its way
Each moment,
with longing to be near
Yet held steadfast,
in our hearts so dear
Adventures and travels,
far away
Love burns stronger,
eternal we stay
Through it all,
we persevere
Souls connected,
in the mirror.

Tattooed for moments of remembering
Marred and scarred from moments of regret
Stretch marked maps showing growth and healing
Freckled from basking until sunset

Lined highways from laughter and crying
Wrinkled from time that's not done yet
My body aged by all of life's trying
Spatters and brushstrokes of my soul's portrait

Some by choice and others not
The abstract piece of who is me
Painted fires of life and love yet forgot
Through others eyes find peace in my beauty.
