Infinite

Amid the first encounter,

the room widens

becoming infinite as a cloudless sky.

Without intention

you whisk away

particles of dust

that cloud the magnetic path

between your eyes

and the eyes of your beloved.

Any distance is too much.

A palpable void exists

when your gaze cannot meet,

even briefly.

Their absence is agony,

their presence, unmistakable.

No one else will do.

With every exhale of your beloved

you breathe in life.

With every touch of their hand

loneliness becomes

obsolete.

Through every evolution,

your love pushes away walls

that confine

gaining height,

yet secure in its foundation.

It ignites fire

within the depths of its core

emerging from the ocean floor

up to the highest volcanic peak

emanating grace

to everyone and everything it meets

along the ascent.
