my beloved friend, without whom
navigating the darkness and light might prove
impossible.
We’ve travelled together, lifetime upon lifetime
in different configurations but always held by love
to bring ourselves to this place of perfection
each of us perched upon our precipice
and dancing–
filled with a joy
that fear cannot begin to touch.
The smile in your eyes is one i know
more intimately than any other.
our partnership– encapsulated by a
purity, and innocence that cannot be sullied.
I’ve constructed careful castles for you
lifetimes in the making– monuments to your
honor and goodness so that we might finally
exist together among the trees and flowers
understanding a language that few take the time
to hear.
the gentle whisper on the wind–
a song of our hearts.
