You still look the same to me
Wrinkles by your eyes: sea--a place to be
Splattered across your face, your nose, the bridge
Met with the blush and kissed along the ridge
That speckled brown and the way corners meet
Of mouth and essence and down to your feet
That beating of your planetary heart
So at 'set we keep the stars, they depart
Come and be with me embraced
My light, blaring glow, your soul traced
My sunshine! Speak to me in that sing-song
Of the ways we, how do we get along
Slow-dancers in the dark, passing in flight
Flying wind, fleeting. Night, that empty night
We're together just apart, just us two
Hundreds of adventures, who else but you?
And losing things more than either can count
But still we pass to sleep, and about
The rhythmic ticks of life and its motions
All that it knows: the sea and the oceans
The gentle way your hand meets with my own
Your facial hair, the way--slow--it has grown
How you shave it all off, the way you change
Language, the lingo, all that we exchange
I love you when you're lost in your own thought
Far away and fantastical, yet brought
here. That distance. Space halts for none
Waiting for a shooting star: a lucky one
I love you when you go out of your way
To gather the gleams of sunlight, for they
Warm us on the coldest of lones, we take
Turns with its tenderness, custody, wake
I love you when you are simply you
It could be the orbit that I share with a few
Your quirks, your ticks, idiosyncrasy
Unrelenting love, oh, that windless sea
Together we will never stop growing
A hope, the universe is all knowing
