Perfect things

come, my love
we have mountains to climb
wilderness to wander

you have shown me
a love that cannot be
given or taken

let us bask
in the fullness
of ourselves

a simple kiss
now blood and breath
both awakened

a balanced diet
to sustain
life and health

we will wax and wane
in attention given from our father
we can trust he will return
yet, she is here.

she has granted us this land
to forge her cycle
and when we doubt
places the ocean
in our tears

come, my love we have oceans to sail

the painted nature
of this earth
is water-based
and will fade
if not tended

let us retrace the origin
of a kiss

they have ravished
your heart and mind
but your breath
travels freely
out of your mouth
and into mine

there is the current
I wish to sail
here is a love
uncharted

throw away your map
and swallow
this cratered pill

pull it from the sky
and let it dissolve
under your tongue

it is only a matter of time
before we are timeless.
