Your Soul, Your Dust

Folder: 
The Letters

 

I am not one of the romantics, darling

These hands cannot master sonnets or create musical quartets 
Nor can they even write a proper love letter
No. 
 
All I have is this poem. 
 
And I will make it speak 
make it sing 
give it language 
saying 
your eyes have 
cauterized every wound I've ever owned
I do not hurt anymore 
I merely ache in ways that you 
will understand 
I crave your soul
your dust 
how their fixed shapes have
grounded me
completely
 
And that is how I love you. 
 
  completely. 
 
without effort or war
 
I love you easily
 
and 
my mouth always finds yours
my fingers, always wrapped in yours 
my chest, always syncs with yours
even in the deep dark night I am drawn to the light you 
carry for me 
 
like no others did before you 
but I do not even remember them
anymore 
 
You shed away the chaos
with a breathless moan
You crack my
stone heart open,
with hands so small 
You trace my palms and 
tell me you are home 
 
Oh
how I need
your soul
your dust 
your young bones
how it fills me
    completely
 
like sky seeking storm 
like bodies aching warmth
     that is how
 I love you.
