In You, In Love

You blossom in me

Slowly and steadily

Like a flower of spring.

You spread yourself

With your skin weaving into mine

And your fingers gripping my shoots.

Your blood becomes mine

And I dissolve in you,

My spirit sinks in you.

Like two shades of blue

Fusing in fury

I become deeper with you.

Stained skins, tattooed kisses

And our silent words

Against an empty world.

Tonight, we build dreams

In the red of love,

Unaware of ends.

In love, we live;

Today you are my rose

And I the bird.

Morrow, I’m your melody

And you the spoken words,

Of an unknown bard.

In love, I live;

Pining for un-sailed seas

Rising and drowning

And incurably entwined

Along the span

Of your delicate self.
