I find myself in love, again

9/28/2015

Comments

 
I find myself in love, again
again and again
with synchrony and 
understanding and 
touch,

with parallels that breed empathy,
with a look.
with many, 
and their hands
with the light

with steam rising in the morning
turning with voices in fall air
with the day and the heat of the field

with waltzing in sweaters, 
a rhythm held low to the hips and cupped gently, 
a pulse of intention and 
harmony
and trust
and exploration

we talk about love as if 
it's going to run out
dry up, run away, or
ossify, a testament to youth
long past
or unattainable, impossibly far 
and high and cold
as if it weren't warm under us
beating up through the floor

I find myself repeating
this time, that year, this space
that you, and I -- 

and I worry, some 
about loss and grief 
since it happens, and has
that this moment, so ripe
and sheltered
is laced through with
everything we each come to bear
stories held in this embrace

this memorial of great love
as immersed in the wonder
of you
this for that
but it's this and
that both

and it's hard to explain myself
sometimes
the welling up of potential 

and isn't it wonderful 
how we move together

the resonance of you

the resonance of you
a low hum
is the crux 

heat and pressure
breath and
silence

synco
pated we lie
deep

words bubble up
foam at my lips
speak

blink the shadows
into clarity
toss

the rise and fall 
your chest is a sea
asleep
