Your touch breathes life
imparting energy
gathered from the stars
shining in your eyes;
heat from the closest star,
our sun, through you,
warms my heart.
Too long apart
without your touch
my skin grows cold.
Breath tightens its hold.
Life has no meaning nor
great story to be told.
Missing you becomes a safe
where love is kept for dreaming.
I climb inside its darkened space
to calm my desperate yearning.

Are the stars truly fixed in the sky?
When you are away the sun
stops in its tracks
and earth’s orbit slows
in heartbeats counted
by years, not seconds.
“Time stands still,” others say.
I say time goes on without me
while there is no us to see.
Without you, the universe stills
along the path of its trajectory.
I wait with bated breath and sigh
for your return while I
watch time march on.
I watch the sky for clues
when the universe would return
you to me and me to you.
Side by side we
can make the sun move.
As we move
among the stars
in ecstasy.
