I feel it like blood
coursing through my veins
Filling me
and bringing me back to life
I feel it like a thing
that I cannot explain
Yet it leaves words
dangling from my tongue
I feel it like breath
as it fills my lungs
Steadily in
and slowly out
I feel it, I feel it
and isn’t that the thing
I feel it
my God, I feel!
It seems that I have loved her forever
though time plays tricks on the mind
I vaguely remember a time before
when emptiness filled this room
She is ever present within me
whether here or miles away
My voice breaks the silence
she hears what I don’t say
The simplicity of all of this
complicates things even more
But still I find solace
surrender, and let myself fall
She makes me ache
in the sweetest way
And conversely
makes me sting
Awakening
a long dead soul
We are both
alive again
In the soft quiet hours
when she comes
She is ‘becoming’
just like me
No one has ever
seen this, she says
But for me
she reveals everything
