I see eternity at

the bottom

of my coffee cup.

Your reflection moves

amongst the grounds.

Can you imagine the eternal prosperity

That arrives when two lovers meet?

When their hearts join together

in nervous satisfaction?

It could be that you are here to destroy me.

You hold all the signs of DEATH!

You cast a shadow, you pull at my oxygen,

You cause tears of unknown origin.

The bird does not foresee its descent.

My love for you is a cardinal.

It is bolder than daylight, lighter than air.

My heart beats as wings pulsate.

Your cheek conforms to my hand

as a rock is carved by a glacier.

I am heated, passionate, unmoving,

dying for your word.

And my arteries feel like runways,

they are noisy with traffic to my heart.

The sensations,

oh glory.

If you leave me, I shall live.

For you are not a preserver.

You are a lighthouse.

Tower over me, oh sanctity.

I subsist in relishing your truth.
