they say that truth can be found in each other
they say that we find ourselves in each other
in the way words will form to define the shapes
that outline the shadows of our bodies into
place, in the way our minds will
draw pencil thin sketches of visions
once imagined in our unconscious slumber
haziness is all that displays against my
shaking hands begging to hold on to
sticks of dignity
bleeding out coal-like scars
of thoughts engraved unto stone-walls
only the fire burning within could shed this
into ashes of never-ever
of once forever afters
but how could they have been fooled
to think that we as we are
as we stand
defined in each other
found in the places we left behind
unmoved from mindful intentions
that truth would release itself through every corner
dark
light
distant
and even that which is closest
to your jugular vein
how could you speak of certainty when
your words refuse to hug the letters
that define their very nature
in the same ways we are defined and unified
in each other
so do these words
in the way they form
structures that vocalize
the melodies within you
so let not the limitations in these
letters change
alter or
retract from its destined
surrender
to transcending realities
uttering in words
through the silence of
your presence
in this moment
we stand here together
eye to eye
tunnelling to the hearts core
we find each other
in how love
captures your heart beats in motion
speaking in a language understood
in the simplicity of
this moments embrace
so let us come
unified in belief
to a oneness
that bounds our natures
existence as life
unfolds
blossoming its fragrance
to beautify your eyes
as star lights
fight for place in this space
above us
as melancholy illuminates
this nostalgia
to find comfort
in each other
the way we once
defined ourselves
this existence
our search for
me
i
us
the image that stares back
at me
unpolished for my eyes
to see
time shields my steps
from framing the self
paused in rotation
from the lapsing motions
written in scriptures
as stone is all that stands
in the barriers of our path
to return
to a home
boundless from borders
conscripted to geographies
to be found in the dome
golden its top
where prostrations lead me back
finding my purpose
revealing the scriptures
affirming its certainty
manifesting all that is internal
beyond mind
soul
and all that in between
oneness was all that was left
in each other
if only we looked beyond
what the eyes posed for us to see
we would have seen
only this moment
is as whole
as He.
