Our push and pull
An ever delicate balance.
My tumultuous churning
Glistening in your light.
You're so far away;
I yearn for you.
We belong together,
The way peanut butter
Belongs with jelly.
You're the sugar
To my iced tea.
The rose
In my bouquet.
We build each other,
The way drums and guitars
Build a wicked breakdown.
The music we make
Is akin to laughter late at night,
And quiet snores in the mid afternoon.
You pull me from the abyss,
And I cling to you
like my life depends on it.
We connect,
Like lightning in the dark,
Flashing neon against the night.
Each touch brings
Static electricity;
Little zaps and sparks
Where our skin touches.
My life was filled with
missing pieces
Until I found
You.
Without you,
My waves
Quiet down-
Becoming still.
Without you,
There is no pull
to become better.
There is no friction
Against myself,
As I seek to thwart
my own vices.
I would churn endlessly,
Searching with all I have
For a sweet reprieve.
But you're here.
My sweet beautiful moon,
Lighting my darkness
With a gentle illumination.
I look to you
With relief,
For you know my inner night,
And still glow.
You lift my chin,
Til my mouth meets yours.
And I, like the tide,
Rise to meet the moon.
