Under the Stars

Under the Stars

Azure glimmers, silver shadows
Dapple across your milky skin
Your searching, melting kisses
Your absolut perfection

And I am bewitched
By reality
Spilling into tonight
Transcending all my fantasies
You, and me,
Under the stars
In the moonlight
Clothed
In the gossamer of dreams
Blanketed by the clouds
The world has
Frozen, tonight

And I feel beautiful with you
Unmarked
Unscarred
Almost unflawed
And everything broken in me
Erases,
Reunites
Just you, and me
Under the stars
You, and me,
In the moonlight

Azure glimmers, velvet shadows
Drift across the endless sea
Wander through the seamless sky
Over, and through,
You
And me

There are so many words inside my head. None of them are willing to cooperate, though. They trip over themselves in their eagerness to be said, and stumble away shyly, that they might be said out loud. They jumble up with images, and thoughts, and flashes of memories that electrify me, mind, body, and soul.

There are so many words inside my head. But none, none of them can describe what you mean to me, what you make me feel. None of them can do that. 

None of them can say what the stars did, or the dark blue velvet sky. What the drunk moon said, blurring in and out of existence. What the wind said on the roof last night, or the water said, between us, this morning. 

No words can ever gather how you heal me, how blessed I feel, even when you say nothing at all. No words can cobble together what it’s like,  to love you with every fiber of my existence.

And for the first time in my life, I find that I need no words at all. Because I have each and every moment you give me, imprinted in my head. Imprinted in my thoughts, like a talisman glowing inside my ribs, warming me from within. Each one more precious than the breaths I take. There are no words at all, for how happy you make me. 

And none for how much I love you.
