Might makes right

It’s all push. My lover feels the push, the give. She takes what I give, she loves what I push, she craves what I’ve got. The pull is all for me, thats where I get from her, where she lends me some, but I try to do it in a way that where she doesnt even know I am accepting the gift.

I like to get her by surprise, push and then push some more. She thought we had arrived, that there was no more distance yet to travel, but here we are under way again. Toss the rope over that branch and climb. Enjoy the view, the wind in your hair, but climb, dont stop.

Watch her eyes. See her. She is watching me. She knows how near I am to her, she loves to scrutinize my progress, sweating as I strain to bridge the airless gap between us. I gasp breath and squeeze my eyes shut to break free the bonds of gravity.

Open again, I see her, and I am there.

She is delighted when I arrive.

We exist as one, together to live in a place called love.

Efficiency writ large.

My slits for eyes allow entrée the light of my new day and with it news of a globe that turns still on its axis, a sultry sun yet hanging by golden thread, and love.

All is right with the world.

These sights on waking beat back bother from demise of dream, but also nourish the beast of love, ravenous and unchained.

Like a drowning man’s flash, life has returned, details concussed into the fertile pulp of my mercurial mind.

Inches from your face is a font of love from which you may draw unabashedly and know in your heart that it will never run dry.

Inches from my face is all the reassurance that I need.

Ask me what I know.
I seem prescient.
I have the quick and correct answer to the question that you ask.
It is not me, it is you.
You know exactly what I know.
You ask me to give it wings of voice.
It flies to nest in your ears.
This is love.
You can ask me to touch you there, and I will, without fail.
It is the place I had just finished memorizing in the moment before the floor fell in.
I know this place, and I find my way in the dark.
This is also love.
