“You know, don’t you?”
Murmuring softly
Your somnolent breath
Drawn with formidable will
In repose, you relent
Now unguarded and still
I inhale your strength
Holding me steady
Readily unravelling
In unending humility
Your consciousness shifts
I am adrift by your side
My heart replies
Its beating unbound
Swelling in communion
Well-versed we traverse
Our remarkable ground
Moving seamlessly, silently
Across this seminal territory
A friendship
Undeniably profound.
I knew
And you knew
A delicate “I love you”
Softening the wilful stillness
Your eyes flicker
“You too, so much”
An infinitesimal whisper
Each fragile second beckons
A forever that was never ours
To consider
We link fingers
Mine cool, yours hot
An alchemy of memories
In transcendent air
Suspended
They linger.
