Salvation

 

If my ancestors approve...

  If the whole universe conspired this between me and you. 

 If this is just a force of chemistry?! 

  What would it be? 

What label could abide it? 

  What thing could give it more depth or dimension...

  Than just you?! 

 Showing up as you?! 

I asked myself, I did- 

  "Is this what it is supposed to be like when you meet your husband?!" 

Because I ran a lifetime....

  And I have never felt this! 

A "yes" in every atom. No glitch. 

A fear of not 1000 foot fall, 

  for once, 

   Just once 

In my life. 

  What words could abide this? 

But the words we speak between two, 

 Just me and you, 

Where for the other, our worlds and secrets fall. 

   You are the crux of my life. 

A prayer prayed every day, that only God would know. 

You are no savior. No salvation. 

  Only because 

That must be my own. 

  However, how still, 

You ever, 

    Come close. 

I do not lean into you; 

  Instead I fall. 

No use for wings or fear, 

  No thought of them at all. 

Just us. A cloud permeable, 

  Tangible. 

Delectable. 

A space above all else, 

  As long as you and I grasp hands. 

I feel you thousands of miles. 

  No need, my love

For a thing. 

  Now....

That I got you babe. 

   No need...

I have been birthed anew. 

  Never mind what any one will say. 

Chitters and gossip 

  The pecking of shrews. 

Nevermind them at all. 

No fucking need. 

  I rather prefer our bubble, 

Before we bare the world unglued
