covered with the velvet of the night sky
I spread myself like ashes
in the dark
the warmest snow known to men,
these grey and red-colored flakes
made from the remains
of my soul,
( of my shell-shaped heart )
can you see it?
can you feel it?
tell me that you do
tell me it runs through your bloodstream
that it ignites your bones
that it paints crimson threads
between my fingertips
and yours
it's those stars that speak of flame
and dust
that love that exhales peacefully
in the midst of chaos
that sigh of relief
when the last galaxy in you has exploded
that exhale of surrender
bringing you to your knees
( multiple colored reflections
of the universe's song
vibrating inside your core
like a melody long forgotten
but forever present,
the most familiar echo
the sweetest whisper
that primal fire of the first breath
that synergy of all things that has led
me
to you )
I spread myself like ashes
in the dark, my love
the warmest snow known to men ,
I paint my bones with the black dust
from long-gone heartbeats
of Nebula's once golden tears
and the diamond longing
of all the Supernovas that came before me
their ink-dark powder covering my skin
so I can imitate the night sky
and shine
like never-ending clusters
of falling stars ,
so when I jump
into the abyss above
I will find my way to you
I will find my way to my other half of the night sky
I will find you there covered
in the same dust
skin shimmering with the softest embrace
of the cosmos that is now also mine,
I feel you now
you're calling my name
murmurning it so gently
against the loudness
that surrounds me
against the always present buzzing
of the human kind
I hear you
and my legs start running
my feet thud a rhythm against the ground
I jump
I leap
I fall
breathlessly and helplessly
into your sphere
like an unstoppable force never to be tamed
I take your hand
and our fingertips touch
the red thread connecting us
swirling
and twisting
around our wrists
gravity no longer holding it back
( like an underwater current,
so gentle in its caress )
there is no beginning to it
nore end
just a gentle string
moving to an elegant dance
a unique choreography designed
for the hearts beating
under our ribs
like pulsating drums
for the souls breathing between our scars
and hopes
like the softest
breeze of a summer's night
my sky whispers to yours
home is here
home is now
home is with you
