constant current

 
it didn't happen in an instant
or maybe it did...
...slipped in before we knew it
but we gradually became aware...
...as it grew...
building in potency as we converged
drawn unerringly
both tuned to its singular frequency
until forest met mountain
2 entities...
solid in their individual sovereignty
together forming exquisite beauty
setting in motion a sanctified bonding
as words burst from hungry lips
both listening with intent
eagerly absorbing thoughts & emotions
...like osmosis
& then he said...
he said it when I wasn't expecting
that was the beauty of...it
these things do happen
people speak in the heat of a moment
doesn't always mean a thing
but he proved it
in a million tiny ways
leaving me no room for doubt
...only truth...
& he wrote me love letters in hieroglyphs
touched me with flaming fingers
smudging my flesh with his name
until I could not wash it off
permanently branding me
...willingly...wantonly...
if you've ever thrust your hand
into the heart of a flame
just to be one with its heat
then you might understand
the feeling never leaves
I still stroll through our scrolls
spread in the silence of night
pressing my lips to their precious message
if you ask...
I'll say only this...
time held no sway over our movement
miles & minutes irrelevant
we were simply...
...beautiful
