eclipsing the mountain
love is always worth it
From our first shared touch
my love for him eclipsed fear
impossibly fierce.
Conversations bloomed,
adoration grew madly,
Connection took shape.
My devotion surged
flourishing from deep within
my bones ached for him.
Tender with passion,
inextricably entwined
Two souls find solace.
Prepared for the trek,
An endless mountain ahead
I compose myself.
Inch after small inch,
climbing ‘til nearly breathless,
endurance tested.
He can’t comprehend
my strenuous path below,
tired, yet ascending.
With no way to know–
will the trouble be worth it?
I continue on.
We are born to love
intrinsically searching
needing assurance.
So I persevere,
regardless of the outcome
ready to give all.
I would rather love
ferociously, relentless,
than have an ounce spared.

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.
