I remember
The void in my heart
Perhaps
As you grew in grief
You dreamed me
Into existence
For I surely
Had no substance
Not a morsel of joy
Felt real
Til you enveloped me
In the compass of your heart
And set forth
Due West
I clinging to your drift as
Stubborn snow will keen
Impossible they said
Until seeing with their own eyes
Things previously disbelieved
I had never believed
Until you lifted me from obscurity
And touching my chin
My throat
The unsaid hurt
Resting on my breastbone
Like a wounded bird
You reached in and
Struck the match
And I glowed
I glowed
With your regard
God damn this is gorgeous. ❤
Living unseen, invisible
Like a phantom or
Something shrouded
And then, the impossible
No, it cannot be (can it?)
Such a thing to believe
Daring to believe
One comes who does
Penetrate the shroud
Gives substance to the phantom
Sees, and seeing, loves
