spices, honey and you

your soul is stirring darling

between hues

of amber,

bronze, and honey

you are wine,

burgundy tones mixed with love

caramel and chocolate

that tastes so good on the tongue

I reach for that taste

I reach for you

constantly diving past time and place

shifting, twisting, and bending

into a supernova trapped in a fragile flesh

I reach for you past the layers of human

moving to the sides of physical

as if opening my chest

from the inside

too crammed in the golden cage

made by bones

sliding fingers past the ribbed doors

counting twelve to the right

and twelve to the left

feeling my soul erupt

and set itself free

ten thousand lifetimes

too far away from you ( exhale it and swallow )

and ten thousand lifetimes

yet to come

(inhale and feel your heartbeat,

let it stretch its wings)

this home that I feel with you

is eternal

it will never crumble down and waste away

for it does not have walls

it's not built of concrete or wooden beams

it's made of soul threads

and a red string

that's always at the tip of my fingers

always twisting itself around your name
