Salt

In the  
twilight
breathe    
the letters  
of my  
name  
and  
know that  
I love  
you  
and  
have  
loved you  
for aeons  
and  
when  
the
changing seasons  
emerge  
feel
my presence  
upon  
the soft breeze    
that  
embraces  
the
frailty  
of
your being  
knowing  
that  
I blow kisses  
to you  
on the winds  
of  
change  
to immerse  
you  
in my love  
for
our love  
is
aeviternal  
as it  
coruscates  
in our  
suspended  
moments  
of  
shared  
epeolatry  
as the years  
have built  
a framework  
for us
to balance  
the dichotomy   
of  
light vs dark  
and  
your light  
is akin  
to bathing  
in the  
golden hues  
of the
sun  
whilst encased  
in your
amethyst  
shades  
of  
forget-me-nots  
as we  
countdown  
another  
moment
of  
divination  
whilst we  
break    
bread  
beneath  
monastic ceilings  
and you  
remain  
etched upon  
my  
heart  
whilst  
I undress  
your  
thoughts  
and  
explicitly  
make love  
to them  
and I  
find you
chanting  
whilst I’m
crying  
and your  
pain  
will become
mine
as I carry
you
home  
whilst navigating
my way  
like a pious  
through
the  
vast  
Appalachian    
wilderness  
that resides  
within  
your  
heart & soul
and  
it’s not
goodbye  
it’s  
see you  
soon.
