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.
