Serenity, behind your sighs,
Holds holy thoughts and simple words
Like love, my thoughts don't make much sense
Except when something overheard

Like truth the rise and fall of life
I count the freckles on your face
To trace your legs with skin like silk
Leaves love and life alone, amazed.

In starting hearts you shine with skill
In soporific somnolence
I sing you something soft and smile
A smile that's faded neversince.

This love, endocytosed and strong
Has coevolved with who I am
So, like the mitochondrion,
One cannot tell where it begins

Except exploding touch and kiss
No language can make light of it
No poetry could capture all
Transcription and translation can't

But sometimes when I touch your sound
My mind extends beyond its reach
With winding words entwined like threads,
I send the world a tiny piece.
