Love-quenched souls cannot hide
Our smiles mate and multiply
Emotional equations forever
try
to apply a softer answer
It's not about whether wet sky is blue
for there is sunshine in each " I love
you"
Your heart knows when my soul's askew
You are my life preserver
Without you I am stone,
crushing
seeds
that may have grown
Without you, only stone,
caring not
where I am thrown
We grind our love
and grasp hot sparks
Weave threads of light through quilted dark
We've made no twins but we have built an ark,
in
case we flood this world
It's not about stretching to touch the stars,
or if Venusian curves can conquer Mars
You share your breath to give me cause,
I rise to glimpse your answer
Without you I am stone,
hardened
flesh
on mirthless bone
Without you, only stone,
a barren, desolated Mars,
mourning my lost ozone
