Kingdom Come

The lines of my life were crisp and clean,

delineated by rulers,

as straight as the hair I wished I was born with.

Habit wound around me,

wrapping wool around my senses,

and attempting to limit

my mind to the parochial.

Heaven knows how I got loose.

Heaven knows how I found myself here.

Heaven knows what was ignited

the first time we touched,

the first time your breath

was at one with mine.

The sharp lines were banished,

leaving you and I
to curl around one another

like wisps of incense rising ever higher.

I found my voice again, and sing

oh love, I sing.

I sing with my voice.

I sing with my skin.

I sing with my soul.

I sing of you, you

and drink in starlight

to shine like the moon.

And when moonset comes,

we find we crave each other still.

Our fingers trace sigils onto each other’s’ skin –

the culmination of the quixotic magic

that brought us to this moment.
