TOGETHER

Layer upon layer,

we shed the armor.

Drowning in the depths of uncertainty,

you seep into my soul.

Together,

we flow.

My mind,

a whirlwind relentlessly stirring,

hurtling toward the abyss.

You are the anchor,

the stillness in the instability.

Together,

we maintain.

The incessant oscillation,

clinging fast to one another,

we fall into our primal rhythm.

Two frequencies colliding,

to meet once again.

Wavelength pulsing,

you resonate with me.

Together,

We vibrate.

The wall between us,

overrated.

Begrudgingly,

you soften.

Involuntarily,

I crumble.

Together,

we break down barriers.

Trudging through the mundane,

growing restless,

disheartened,

we transition.

Our path,

constantly shifting.

Together,

we adapt.

Drenched in doubt,

you ground me.

Sweeping away the unsustainable,

your presence,

my sedative.

We grip onto one another.

Together,

we escape.

Mourning what's lost,

my spirit unraveling,

Your resolve,

unwavering.

Our foundation,

deeply rooted.

I lean into you.

Together,

we are unshakable.

Anticipating our arrival,

we dream.

Our destination,

slowly unfolding,

revealing the sum of our adventure.

Together,

we find relief.

Together,

we explore.

Together,

we conquer.

    Very nice modern love poem -- especially like "the stillness in the instability."

    An interesting coagulation of two beings, like two planets that slowly orbit each other. The closer they become, the faster they cycle around each other, until the fateful colliding of two ethereal beings coalescing into the one, stronger and more powerful celestial being…bravo Miranda!

      Thank you. Some people just resonate at such a deep level you can't help but write about them.
