Magnetic

Magnetic

You have a north and I have a south

And we are magnetized

You have an east and I have a west

And we will meet in the middle

Bodies moving in concert and pulling in possibilities

Like road maps and compasses thrown on the table

Spun to point magnetic and polarized

To take every option in and monopolize

Every avenue to get there in flesh pounds

Of equal measure and always together

Melded and meeting and the brain

Finds its own meaning, out in the reaching

The endorphins have hit a sky-rise

The dopamine is within the means

Of your fingers across my cheek

The serotonin has moved and grown in

The cracks of all that I have ever lacked

Has fallen in the seams of your

Green eyes seeping and the

Adrenaline swells have kept me from sleeping

Percolated by the consciousness of you

Out there existing crystallized and listening

To my words on the air like homing pigeons

Finding their snare in the nape window on your neck

To settle there in the heathers of your hair and forget

All this moving like Michelangelo on the ceiling

Of your bedroom watching what God has moved

Into my life and so scared because everything feels too right

To see your face like a beacon and have all of this leaking

Over my skin like a blanket that held so much in

To want and to have a chance to give these pieces

A passage to rest in the simple caress of a wanting

In wait, a wanting quickening her pace

To be more of my day and a tempo to my nights

The drum beat that will keep me more than sleeping alive

Through weekday expanses and

That life really does make second chances

  

Struck there like an afterthought that some how the stones

Movement paused in a jut, a small budge on this love

That electrons contracting that atoms bombarded on tapping

The passing of the memory of what I will be to you

Is escaping the control of what I never knew

In faith to find a direction and find the place

In the center of days that cut exits in the hedge of this maze

With a hand in a hand walking and that this was the plan

Somehow I know

You have a south and I have a north

And we will meet in the middle

You have a west and I have an east

And we are magnetized
