how many poems
how many poems
do your eyes carry
like a guiding light
how many nights of words
of comings and goings
wrong turns
how many caresses
does my breast carry
my face
my skin
how many debts do I have with life
that drew you toward me
like a coincidence
a chain of encounters
and farewells
how many truths have we woven
uncovering our pasts
our deepest lies
how many moments of light
of warmth
of shared magic
how many hearts
have we sketched in the air
how many I love yous
have we left in silence
today,
none of this is important
any longer
now
I discover once again
I feel once more
that the infinite is right beside us
when I hold you in my arms
when I touch your skin
and in silence
I long for you
