Your love is one that does not age
Like the lilac wine that blossoms Into a beauty over time

Time and timelessness will bind
The vines of this enchantment

A dichotomy so intertwined
Like the asphalt in the ocean
As we float above the waters
In ceaseless beating motion

Our dispositions secure
We live in spates of wake
In homes built with our hearts
We bend but do not break
In a distant possibility
Perhaps an ending looms
Though ours is no exception
We love what we can take
Of smiles and half-creased wrinkles
Of tears and jumping lakes
These ribs protect intrusion
But lungs are built to fail
Yet though the heart is naked
Fragilities prevail

I love you with the ticking
Of clocks that won't rewind
For the first time you left me
Our cross became a line
