Just
Being next to you
Holding your hand
Intertwining our fingers
Hugging each other
Holding each other...
It feels like
A privilege
It feels like joy
It feels like a rush
It feels like the ocean thundering over the shores
And resonating within and bursting out from
My chest
Thump... Thump...
And the ocean roars
Across my face
Up to my shoulders
With the sound in my ears
As I am overwhelmed by the tides
Yes
Glorious, heady overwhelm
More incredible than sex, power, money or any drug
The incredible sensation of being with you
In my mind, my breast, my body
A wing-stretching freedom alights
Of everything feeling so right
So much more than complete
So full and so whole
So resplete
With no need for respite
As I feel like both victory and defeat
Both beautiful things
When I'm with you
For to be vulnerable and exposed feels powerful and triumphant
As with you
I am both safe and strong
Protected and protector
Our hearts fight battles together, alongside
Side by side and back to back
Hand in hand and hands freed
Both to fight what's wrong and to embrace each other
Clasped
We clasp onto each other
Hold onto ourselves
Take each other's hearts in our chests
And hands once again in our hands
As I pledge mine and you yours
Let us not release
Each other, for
I don't ever want to be parted from you
I want the tides of our oceans to meet and flow together
Our hearts, minds and bodies stay together
One symphonic sound, one Jackson Pollock of glorious colour, one crescendo that builds - our hearts' roar -
as together, eyes connected, we remain
Together
Whether in the silence, the bustle
Or in joy or in pain
Through searing sunshine
And flooding rain
Through life's blood bonded, our hearts pump their synergy of an existence, together
Let us never, nevermore be apart
From today
For we belong
At once for all
This way
