Lifting the tree up
By its roots like we do
When we sink our fingers down
Into the earth of one another
Are we appointing the other
Or anointing each other
Love is friendship on fire
I love you too is something
We say with our eyes
Not with our lips
I keep writing about this
Dark romance that calls
From the leaves that burn
When they’re wet from the rain
Sunlight through the prism
Of a line that leads like a rope
Towards the sky rather easy
To climb with fulfilling love
Upper body strength ascends
Up, up, up
I can’t remember when
It felt this good
Reminiscent of a daffodil
Petal at the bridge of
My everything and the scent
Of your heart like a gorgeous
Starlike jasmine that vines
Through our veins together
In the form of similar flames
On similar planes
As the essence of wet like
Tear ducts resembling the pools
In another lifetime perhaps
Exactly like Neptune or
At least as beautiful as
The Gods would have us
Believe if not in some
Dripping wet dream but a
Salty swing that rises up
From the Dead Sea where
We come to find ourselves alive
