I cannot tell my tongue
to tell you
How you are all
my meaning
my sounding depth
in a shallow world
of shallow things
you are all and everything
I try to articulate
what you mean to me
but instead gesticulate the geometry
of the space you occupy
in my heart
chalice of my thoughts
Here the connection we share
Is rare raw and conscious
Like a jewel
from some Kipling East.
Jungle glowing. And
The world Disrobes us
to the skin
To be close as close can be
We feel the surface of the seeming
Dreaming world ever closer
explore the inner fleeting
At the depth of being
Where time slips away day to day
Evening by evening
Breath by breath
Hour by hour
Each kiss closer to forever.
