Your body is poetry, your soul a verb without a name
that sings away the hole in my heart that I didn’t know I had.
You reach for my hand and I for your gaze as you pull me closer,
nose to nose, a kiss’ distance away from immortality.
Your breath is mine as my heart beats for you
and the world is just
far away
under this moon, the same as always and yet somehow changed,
an intimacy overlooked, a beauty that we have shared
each night for each night of our lives without thought
as she pulls the ocean closer to the land,
and shines for us tonight.
