TODAY I TASTED LOVE


Today i lay in the stillness, in the rapture of time.

Feeling no movement and no breath upon my face.

The stars seem rabid for the light they have lost so long ago.

Today i loved you, in my heart and mind.

Feeling your arms cradle my soul.

The love in our hearts, the passion in our lips and hands.

Today i experienced forever.

Our hearts entwined, loving and living.

Our existence moved on, past the death of a thousand suns.

Today i watched the moon die.

Forever grieving for her lost ones.

Never to see or feel again, to remain cold yet beautiful, in the sun's reflection.

Today i saw you smile.

The happiness seeped from your eyes.

And your face glowed with the presence of an eternal being.

Today i sensed your love

vibrations of yourself, seeking me.

Your presence consuming my sorrow and leaving me breathless.

Today i felt your hands on my skin.

The light touch of your fingers.

Tracing shapes and drawing the invisible markings, that i still and will always wear.

Today i saw the rift.

The ebb and flow of energies, all around me.

Dreams and thoughts from another time, the same face, mind and soul.

Today i heard your voice.

Calling me, out of my heart and out of my body.

The colors you spoke, and the music you made, painted on my memory.

Today i tasted love.

Between the close breaths and the sweet kisses.

You spoke words unable to be heard, but only devoured by my heart.

Today i witnessed the nebulous sky.

The sinking of celestial bodies, and the drowning of stars.

Forever beginning and ending, yet we stay entwined through time.

Today i will always love you.

Now and forever, through all that is time.

And through the death of a thousand suns.
