What is the use of dipping your finger tips into someones heart before you have melted your skin into the oceans of the world? why would you lose yourself in someones eyes when you could float in between the waters horizon and the dawn of the atmosphere?
Can you love someone when the soles of your shoes have been worn to voids or do you have to wait for your human soul to be stripped of every meaning as well?
Because I have been running endlessly to catch a glimpse of your life and its broken my heart and torn my shoes.
life is too long to spend your days asleep and then pretending you blinked to find yourself lonely in routine.
And that is why I do not waste a second walking to the parking lot to get your wallet. Instead I run. Because i can travel the world and i can grab the soil of a thousand different mahogany lands but I will always find my hands guiding themselves through the dark back to your body.
life is too long to spend your days asleep and then pretending you blinked to find yourself lost in a future that came to soon.
And that is why I spend no time asleep. Instead of watching the sunrise I watch you begin to wake up because because the sun does not rise until you smile for the first time at 8 thirty AM.
The only travel I need is that of the vibrations of your laugh sailing from your lips only to vanish into the memories I have kept so well in my mind. The winds of the world could never whisper sweeter things than you could on a drunken, sleep deprived night.
I do not have to wait for the night time so I can wish on stars with you. Partially because I have nothing to wish for, as every lover would say. but mostly because if I connected your freckles to your goosebumps I would have the entire constellation mapped out on your body. And unlike stars Your love doesn't fall.
I do not need astrologers to look deeply into the sky to let me know that you are the one. Because I am a palm reader and when your hand is embedded in mine the only thing i know is that you are my entire world.
this is basically starting out with someone believing you cant fall in love with a person when there are so many places to go and people to see. As the poem keeps going the person grows older and understands that love is when everything you could experience and everyone you could meet in the world is that one person.
