Flex

A hundred times

She whispered me by my name

A hundred times

I couldn't pick a word she'd said

Then just as nature, she sucked

My day into her moonlight hush

Our paths for each other thread along devotion

On a heart stronger than feelings and passion

Remembered I called you sweet

An endearment blushing a glee on your chin

Opening windows

Unto words unspoken but involving

Larger than piece of sly

Sneaking about to negotiate our vast

A reality mirrors back at us

From the raw place of human blind spots

An enigma you are

My presence maps onto your radiance

Conjuring a flex of the sacreds

the. more than the being

of our ordinary persons

Bones embracing in the form

of which a two hands holding can be

And one world onto another

You and I in the right place for each other
