lemniscate

I thought of you today, oh love,

of how your reflections dance upon my closed eyes

as the sunlight spirals through the silent hours

when you move it reminds me of a morning fog

something heavy with clarity

and weightless in gravity

until the sun catches your invisible veins

illuminating you like everything that ever was

and in your alien fragility I find such strength

echoing in ocean-deep eternity

my heart burns incomparably with your spark

this wordless blue light glimmering beneath my bones

as bright as the moon and as true as the life in your eyes

despite all odds I still find myself swimming in the stars

yet your presence is a galaxy within itself

you feel like quiet streets and city rain and the glow of hazy summer nights

but something about the space around you lights a flashbulb in my mind

it is impossible to doubt the reality of unreality with you around

twisting the shimmering threads of logic around your otherworldly hands

as if it were all some glorious game you had found yourself so luckily lost in

you move again and time could never hope to flow as beautifully as you

all cathedral glass and riverbanks and euphoric neon glimmer

with a mouthful of razor blades that reminds me of so many forgotten nerves

your smile is a catastrophe faceted in a diamond

but your eyes put every song I've ever heard to shame

I would play you like a symphony if my hands could stop shaking

from the resounding harmonics you bring out in me

together we are a song, a masterpiece, a work of ineffable art

a paradox of the most glorious caliber

they said a raindrop could never hold a flame

and no fire could ever embrace the sea

but they had never seen the way we fall together

in divinely heartfelt unity

beyond anything either of us could even dream

no soul could ever doubt such a truth

there are no shadows here.



I thought of you today, oh love,

and no matter how many words I write about you

they will never be able to express what I feel tonight

for I love you more than my heart can take

so I will give you all that my heart can hold

and in the last moments of this fading hour

I swear to you, my love,

that every moment shines with this compassion

and I will love you endlessly.
