Original Submission by Nishalini Nair

The Language of A Soul

I will be alongside You

Until His breath rips apart my shoulders

I will be alongside You

Until the melody that clenches His soul suffocates me

I will be alongside You

Until His cadence erupts the drums of my ears

I will be alongside you

Until His volcanic gaze captures my depth

I will be alongside You

Until He voraciously whispers my name

I will be alongside You

Until He seizes the sole of my feet

I will be alongside You

Until He turbulently remembers my essence

I will be alongside You

Until He mercilessly aches for my presence

I will be alongside You

Until He fervently clasps my lustrous hair

I will be alongside You

Until He startlingly collides his lips against mine

I will be alongside You

Until He trembles beneath my touch

I will be alongside You

Until He adamantly clings to my back

I will be alongside You

Until He and I are whisked away

And when that moment arrives,

I will be alongside Him

Promise that You will let me go with the water.
