the unguarded pleasure of your unfettered love
granted in fits and spurts– boundaries
demolished and resurrected
in the span of a single breath–
shadows hovering and descending
this infinite perspective that has always been
patiently waiting
for my prying, stubborn eyes
and willful, unrelenting mind.
An existence within emotion–
dancing feelings, tidal waves of tumult,
diving into the deep perpetually–
misunderstanding
my proximity to the shore.
Misinterpreting my relationship to the calm,
peaceful surrender– the haven of
perspective– an infinite clarity
existing
simple steps away.
Basking in a warm, gentle glow–
lapping flames in my tended fire,
heating the hearth– the ease of
its simple, timeless beauty–
a dawning understanding;
that there is a space next to me
that you will always occupy–
timeless and formless,
a gentle, comforting presence
beyond the measure of sentiment
or words.
