vulcan mind meld

i tried not to smile too widely
silently swooning,
while an alternate dimension
absorbed my aching mind;
i wonder if i’ve met you there?

the colour of your eyes
grounded a blue mind,
seasick and frozen with Rime –
i stumbled into you,
safe… in every laugh-smile-look-touch,
every breath a pirouette
every glance a defibrillator
shocking me into existence

i am left to wrestle with reality; rejection.

i would destablize the threads of time
trek forbidden minds alike,
emotions enshrined at the altar,
built upon the tides of heartbreak

you find me naked to the elements
ready for death to satiate itself,
waiting for the curtain to close

i imagine your fingers gliding between mine
effortlessly connecting
we create a complex web of human beings
being human
and the distorted reality around us
melts into a sleepy Van Gogh illusion.

among starry skies
i embrace you
and remember why love is so painful

in that other dimension,
in that neverending dream,
impossibly,

I find that you love me too.
