anniversary

I love you
for you have opened windows
hidden behind blinds
for you have cleansed my eyes
and have scattered colors
unfamiliar to my landscape
for my heart
has made new inroads
sculpted by your hands
for my mind
has unexplored boundaries
awakened by your words

I love you
for I am not the same man
that was in your bed yesterday
for you have set my soul free
and I can feel the breeze on my chest
as I feel your hands
embracing me
as I feel your eyes
searching for me
as I feel your kisses
on my mouth
and over my silence

I love you
for another year has gone by
and you are still with me
for love keeps bringing us close together
amidst everything and despite everything
for I have found the narrow space
that separates your laughter from the blue sky
that separates your skin from the universe
