I Know

I know

warm raindrops on my skin

make me want to dance,

the lion’s command

and the stretch of ageless mountains

can reach me where I stand.

I know home.

I know

the shattering of time

caused by the meeting of souls

can’t be stopped or controlled,

an inhalation so sublime

continually makes me whole.

I know joy.

I know

the promise in your eyes

is a silence I believe,

your bites and kisses I need

As proof of sighs, aches and desires.

whisper my name and I

will surrender

forever.

I know you.

I know love.
