the only thing between the world and myself
                                                                    is you
that is to say that, in my world, you're all i see,
i'm on top of you, pinning you down                
             to the earth's surface
my eyes can't look away from yours
our hands, ever-entwined, are creating
permanent canyons between our fingers
they cradle the bursts of tears,
accumulating into rivers,        
expelled from our glimmering eyes
each time that we kiss                      
they trickle down to our feet
and we float
higher than we ever thought possible
