I loved you
since the time I looked
into the deep oceans of your eyes.
From the waves of passion thrashing
beneath my earthly body,
to stormless shoals smothered
with warmth of morning sun.
Disabused of name or tongue
or past ships lost
to uncharted Atlantis,
I found you in a place
where infinite sky meets
the bottomless sea.
Because I loved you more
than space could hold,
more than I could fit
in a smaller world.
Now I know why stars explode
across the Universe,
what marks the road to take
to distant worlds.
And there with you I'll go,
our destinies complete-
though not in terms of endings
set with time or date,
but our journey together
that never ends.
How I've loved you!
But I can only love you more
as I sail across your oceans
and we love upon the shores.
