Mirror Man & Blind Lips

in #poetry5 years ago

Your warmth, which is my warmth.
Your sweat, that becomes my sweat.
Your lonely, now my lonely,
Your tears falling on my tongue.
Fearful, I step inside you,
And I become myself.

The combination of this love poem with the photo of a book makes for divine lazy Sunday revery.

May well be what I was going for :)

So brief, and yet so powerful. The last verse holds so much meaning, like you're truly yourself only when you're immersed in someone else, when you put them all around you as reference to understand what you mean to yourself, to them, to the world. And I loved the contrast between this, that I consider a very metaphysical experience, and the first part, that is very much physical.

Thank you :) I wasn't even aware of the physical - non-physical change. :D Glad you liked it.
