are – Poétique

We Are

Our souls are intertwined
You shine I shine
Jumping keeps us
Above the compass
Hidden in our blood
There’s still enough
Time left for Australia
Many more lines
Before we write the last one

If we spontaneously combust
We’ll do it together
Let our hair down
Turn our smiles up
Shakers of heaven and earth
Our fingertips rumble
The energy of everything
We touch intentionally

Mountains turn their peaks
As we fly by
The sky is a carpet
For you and I to glide
Independent dreamers
We wrote the constitution
Before language was born
A single letter streaming
In the shape of a heart

You Are More

You are more than
An empty building
A table with no one
To sit at
You are the dream date
I would wait to sit
Next to
Across from
The roller coaster ride
Inside my heart
I want to relate to

I watch the wind
Blow in the trees
Through my hair
Through the leaves
You are still
More than all of these things
I can feel you in
The frequencies
Around the vibrations
That beat in the
Water walls that flow
Down the Kahiwa falls
You do it all

Every shooting star
Every subtle test
A breath in every nest
The pulse inside my chest
Rivets for you
Rivers rush towards you
You call the wild
And conjure my smile

When we dance again
I will hold you to no end
From the beginning
Of our drum
To the pounding
Of our love

You are more
Than I have words for

You Are the Key

Intellectualize
Rather than live through
All the things
That we collect
To build our nest
The moon is almost full
But my heart is not
Without you

Emotional situations
Move through me
With grace
Take me out of this place
Where I have everything
More than I need
And gift me
One thing

You

This would be home
Enough for me
Fulfilling everything
I need

No lock upon my door
You are the key
