You are the river
Running thought me
Comforting, unabashed today…
But tomorrow…
Flooding me with your
Boastful aggression.
Still, the battered banks
Of my youth
Continue to hold you,
Growing Wildly lush
In your aftermath.
I drowned myself
In the depth of you
And resurrected
As a constellation of Light.
In your labyrinth
Of added lives
I became lost
In your trackless breath,
I rose and fell,
Rose and fell.
Until I merged
Carrying your soul
Upon my back.
Our Love is not restricted
by a lifetime
or the space between us
nor is it held
by a sudden flare
of a shifting constellation
no, our time together
will surpass eternity
and the darkness
will release its light
on a heaven bound trail
of stars
swimming towards
its own reflection
The moon
is sinking low
behind the pale horizon
and I am alone
haunted by a shadowy sea
of starlit memories
I take my solitude
by the hand
and together we walk
along a prayer-spangled beach
untroubled by the drifting years
of the night
