When I’m with you
I am amazed
At the evocative power
Of your gentle touch
The indescribable joy
Your sweet embrace brings
The effervescent dance of my heart
When you softly whisper my name
When I’m with you
I no longer am a mere madrigal
A bayadere without animation
A martin on a meandering flight
Misfortunes are dumped from my kalathos
I cast off the weariness of my milklivered existence
I find peace from the clashing
Of plangent and sepulchral nonsense
When I’m with you
I have no need for masks
There’s nothing left to hide
My fears and insecurities become pellucid
The inherent innocence of youth is rediscovered
Nostalgia gives away to future visions
Pessismism changes to optimism
Whys are transformed to why nots
When I’m with you
Our essences soar in a cordiform dance
Pure universal love erogenously simplified
Yet so essential to our balance
With the benediction of sage gods and goddesses
Tongues partake in gustatory communion
And the ubiquitous restlessness of our souls cease
In each others hearts we are home to stay
