together – C & K

Ourselves

Coffee steaming from my favourite porcelain
sitting, listening to the music of the house

You are in the other room de-stressing again
any form of procrastination will help you

I feel the weight of my possessions, my lives
dreaming, whispering words as I write

We dream in different rooms, in different ways
yet we come together despite ourselves

An unused window,
head down, bum up,
working the day away.

Working long hours,
paying off a house,
a little piece we own.

We toil for those times,
sitting alone or together;
watching the sunset
pass from colours to
whatever night brings.

connected by a spiritual cord
the scent of flowers
far from each other
yet both smell the scent

connecting together
so far from each other
their vision fogs
both run for the door
a rendezvous

My companion;
We have walked together for so long.

My confidante;
We know all of those secrets hidden.

My consort;
We agreed to walk this path together.

My love;
You are The Wolf and I The Blood Fire.

My heart;
The raging fire was tamed by the kind one.

We travelled for so long to find my home. For years you travelled with me this way.

Now, looking from up here, the way is steep, and I am scared.

We are so close. Please help me make it to my home, then say the words I’ve longed to hear: You already know the answer.
