Becoming

I would write you
a thousand lifetimes more
even if my hands splintered
from the weight
even if the stars forgot my name
I would give my breath to the page
every shadow every prayer
if it meant feeling you
stir once more beneath my skin
wild
sacred
inevitable
I would give it all
to keep feeling you
the way thirst knows rain
the way flame knows air
tender and relentless
as if there were no end
to what we are becoming

  2. Awesome poem, My Dear!!! Wonderful topic and masterfully penned!

    Loved these lines “if it meant feeling you
    stir once more beneath my skin” The need and addiction!

    And so beautifully written here, “I would give it all
    to keep feeling you
    the way thirst knows rain
    the way flame knows air
    tender and relentless”.

    Bellissimo, Jennifer, Bellissimo!!!
