Love Poem: You Complete Me

You Complete Me

My eyes look for you ...
My heart bleeds the truth,
     My spirit enters your soul completely.

Where do I end and you begin?
     A mosh pit swirl of emotions and ids,
Each breath a swollen anticipation.

     My mouth whispers your being,
Like blossoms pressed to the wind -
     Carried to seed in a place of longing.

My courses run as rills in spring-tide,
     Awakening marrow and sinews with life,
Wonderment tying us like silken knots.

     My tympans tremble with your name,
Its fascination like a blade in my gut ...
     Tearing desire with ragged certainty.

How do I tell you - what words?!?
     What I see in your eyes is ME ...
NOT my reflection, but my soul.

     As if your own, and yet ...
A knowing and a surety, fine,
     As diaphanous as winter snow ...

We are separate and one, at once,
     I am lost IN you and without ...
And knowing all this, feeling it,

     By doing the above,
Reaching up ...
     You complete me.
