Listen, no matter how many times

We fall backwards towards one another

Defying all reason and rhyme

Nearness comes before we seek the other.

I hear the call of your heart, like a Siren's song

Veins and vessels longing to run aground

Like the tide, and blood, to this push and pull I'm drawn

Magnetic eyes, our words as wind -- time unwound.

Speak your Soul to me. I will listen.

Unbend your shadows. I will stay.

Let us bridge this gap, this isolating division

Two arms, two hands, two bodies sway

This ancient dance, waking catastrophes with skin so tough

You have been told you are not good enough
