Poem ~ Intimacy

 All of my achievements

Every excellence I attain

Mean nothing

If they don't in some way

Draw me closer to you and to us.


There is nothing that I want more than

Intimacy


That word means different things in

Different contexts

And in all of them,

It is meaningful and beautiful.


It is the water and the sun

To a budding plant

The color in our cheeks

The air we breathe

The laughter that makes the time pass

And makes it worthwhile.


Separation is literally nothingness

And if anything creates

Any disparity between us

I reject it as a curse with my whole being.


Most abhorrent 

Is to be above you

Because I love you

And I want to relate to you

give to you

build you up

I am more concerned for your well being 

Than I am for my own.


There is nothing that can tempt me

I can not be bought for any price

There is no honor that can lure me

And no pleasure


There is only the 

Supreme joy

Of our togetherness


A togetherness

I prize above all

treasures.
