When we are one

I woke early to
the remnants of your smell,
I could taste your flavor,
smacking my lips.

I watched you
in secret,
observing you silently,
sleeping,
I can see the war raging
in you mind,
your body's involuntary moments,
tell the story,
you flinching, and grimacing;
the heave of your chest
forcing the loud bellows of
cloudy greys, cobalt blue, and Red.
The fortress is safe now.
Your mind is at ease and
at rest.

How did this occur,
waking.
watching.
destiny?
God's infinite plan?
the two loneliest people in
a crowd, finally
enveloped each other.
collapsing, breathlessly,
you in me and me in you.
No ending to the beginning,
immersed, no sound, warm and cold,
and hot, and bold.
We have entered
the cavern of an  abyss,
that neither of us are aware of.
We are a million miles below
sea level,
crystals hang from
the ceiling.
We breath in
unison.

I am so excited,
to know you.
You know me.
I can finally love;
with all of my heart,
not fractured splinters.
Not from possession,
not of fear,
but of absolute freedom,
of expression,
freedom to love.
Freedom to live.
You haven't touched
me, not yet.

Our souls
are intertwined,
mingling,
waiting for God
to kiss them.
When we are one.
