TO LOVE:

To love:

When the world is black enough

And the moon small enough

And my room quiet enough

I take you on my lap

Like a young child

And ride my fingers through your hair

I bring my face down to your cheeks

And kiss it’s rosy, smooth surface

Until It’s a deep wet indentation

I put my arms around your small shoulders

Until I feel your warmth through my skin

And I take your arms and put them into mine

So we can never let each other go

*

Oh, love how I can feel your bloodstream through your veins

Thumping against my palm

And your breathe

Like a warm breeze on my face

And suddenly

The darkness becomes so bearable

And the stillness so beautiful

And the world so blissful and bright

That, love,

No black is big enough

No moon is small enough

No room is quiet enough

To make me forget

How beautiful and blissful this world is
