Union
UNION
No one could ever love you
More than I. This I know to be
True because my heart
Fills the sky, every cell of my
Body explodes when I think
Of you, every heartbeat tells me
This is true. But truth moves
So slow and time moves too fast.
From my very first waking breath
I’m thinking of you until my last breath
And all of my in-betweens, too. Not
To mention the copious dreams of you;
We dance together, I admire the view.
My thoughts travel far but never
Far from you. Time is the keeper
Of the plans we make and dreams
Are the sleeper waiting to awake.
Even angels lose sleep dreaming
Of mortal men and chastity lost,
For love is the healer, it is never
A mistake, it soothes the spirit,
Relieves the pain of emptiness
And longing is the wide, dry plains
Anticipating the gentle, loving rains.
The poet speaks many languages
But love is his mother tongue
And love never lies and truth never
Dies, it is golden. In the union
Of night and day our flesh exposed,
Two lovers lay, the blushing Moon
Our witness, the preacher Sun
And we are forever one.
