Horseman's Ode

In the dark,
I meet your skin.
Your veins run like hidden rivers
beneath you,
Carrying the spirit
of your immutable heart.
It pulses,
Like the light of the
stars above.

We run in pace with
its ancient rhythm -
For we’ll run far away from the
spying stars
(where their light can not divide us) -
And our skin will be together,
So that we are one
(much like the patchwork quilt
that lies in our barn).

And when you breathe,
Your lungs carry the stories
Of forgotten beaches
and snow-kissed mountains.
I hear in you
the wind that has passed your ears,
And filled your chest.

When we are together,
I never worry that a
merciless God should do us part,
For we are already
in His heaven
(but dear Lord,
When we’re together is not enough).
