I revel in the work of art
that is your body,
feeling your heart
beat flush against mine,
tracing the contours
of your chiseled jawline,
beneath the sheets
in various states of undress,
discovering you
Your love is an enveloping hug,
and the ether that surrounds
transmits all sorts of messages,
to which our senses are privy,
encrypted by a system to which
only we have the key,
our secrets forever locked away
in that kingdom by the sea
The one we built together
when we were both younger
and imagination was infinite;
the time was simpler,
need was rarer,
and dreams had no limits
You and I forged a bond
stronger than acetylene,
refined by trials,
antifragile
A meeting of the minds,
mind over matter,
spirit over flesh
traversing the distance
between us
If ever they ask me,
Was it all worth it?
I’ll reply, your father
was the epitome of
inquisitive,
considerate,
uninhibited
