Deeply Entangled

How many days do we left together?

One, one hundred?

None?

When they say it's time to go,

how will they pry our hearts apart?

I'm entangled in you here,

arms around your neck, fingers in your hair,

tongue buried in your mouth,

eyes closed in fear that if I open them,

you'll disappear.

I'm talking to you without words,

repeating "I love you" in every tear,

missing you though a thread couldn't

fit between us now.

My only thought is holding on;

my only fear is having to let go.

My greatest pain is the breakage inside my chest;

my only joy is in how near you are.

I try pressing deeper against you,

somehow hoping I'll melt onto your being

and remain there permanently

to be close to you forever.

I can feel you trembling heavily,

swallowing your dreams in hellish ache,

but how do I swallow you?

How do I fight the urge to grasp your hand

and run anywhere?

I don't care where we go,

because when I'm with you nothing else

seems to matter.

Just you and me, and all other needs

are completely, deeply, quenched.

It's not that I forget myself;

I end up loving who I am,

growing like a vine shaped by your

perfect stem, minimizing my flaws,

your embraces fading my scars.

I'm not lonely for the first time

lying beside you, hugging your soul,

wrapping my legs around your waist,

sighing into your veins,

hoping you know you mean the world to me.

I want to be one with you;

I want to tie us in a knot so tight

that after one glance in our direction,

no one would dare to tamper

with our heartstrings.

I yearn to find a quiet place,

somewhere peaceful where there

is freedom to appreciate you

as a best friend, as a soulmate,

to kiss you softly.

To exist with you.

But if we don't get there,

please remember one thing:

if we are ever separated,

if we are torn from each other's arms,

if we never see one another again..

I am always part of you.

wow...no words, what a beautiful creation! the passion, idolization, worship of that one we come across in our life. That moment we become a different being...I don't think there is any sweeter feeling than that. The love is all pouring through the poem, first it seems lengthy to go through, but once I began, I wishes it to never end. "
I'm entangled in you here,".Simply amazing!

Thank you very much! Your reviews are always so nice and helpful. I agree, it's such a sweet feeling and impassioned in a way that it's not outside of you, it's part of you.

it's always my privilege!

A very appropriate title and a deeply personal journey into your emotions and being, felt from your point of view. It is only when we are truly in love that we find out how fragile we are. Wonderfully expressive piece.

the love, the deepest love... the anxiety, the fragility, the fear of losing that adoring one... it's when Your love becomes so big, so great... Your deep emotions, Your deep thoughts, I understand, I know and felt them through Your words, evoking piece from a heart full of love.
