I don’t remember
What falling in
Love feels like
But when I
Can hear a
Hummingbirds wings fluttering
Or the sound
Of your smile
Spreading across your
Face I’m reminded
That there’s something
Going on now
That I must
Remember come let
Me drink from
Your cup and
Write you poetry
Oh distance you
Sleep miles from
Me which is
Too far even
The inches between
Us seem like
Oceans come let
Us moor our
Boats to the
Same dock and
Scrape together as
The seas press
Us tightly together
Today we meet
Like old friends
To share a
Crust a bowl
Of soup and
A pint of
Ale to reconnect
And share stories
Of self discovery
Every single lifetime
We do this
Find each other
Across the eons
Together again finally
Not at last
I imagine you
Sleeping in the
Bed of fifteen
Pillows there naked
Under linen sheets
Curled into yourself
If I were
There is unfold
You like a
Newspaper and read
Your sleepy eyes
And light lay
My lips to
Thine awakening you
Slowly to this
New our morn
Searching no more
And finally found
You navigated your
Ship past craggy
Cliffs and onto
My shore exploring
Me with wonder
The mountains of
My shoulders the
Pools of my
Belly the dawn
Of my eyes
And the glaciers
Of my smile
I am your
New world come
Make me the
Home you sought
