however far
away, i am
close to you;
if i step in the
opposite
direction you are
near.
my thoughts dream of
you in day
light & my
dreams caress
you through
the yearning
night.
i want you
as you are &
as you must
change; the in
side & the out
side of
you.
so.
how could the
soul laugh with
out a
body? a wish
become a
taste? a dream
leave love
marks on the
virgin
neck?
how can i know
i’m alive unless i
touch you?
how can you
know you’re that
here without my
kiss?
there’s nothing to
believe un
less we sculpt it
out of fleshy
bronze.
if you are
real, if i have
bones, if this
moment is no less
than
eternal––
i want to always your
body,
forever your
dreams,
& gentle
your soul
absolutely.
