Friendship Is A Deep Love

time,
its fleeting way bewilders.
a day will come
when you will not know my name
and my body will flounder.
till then we have each other.
the delicate lines of love are with us.
we're two simple souls on a journey. 
I shall be me and you
shall be you.
together we're thick salsa.
spiced just right.
last night we danced on ice.
affirmed we both love crows and chocolate.
your loud arms are my arms.
we are pinned together,
like wind and water.
like a soft breeze hugging the grass.
but we cannot master the stars.
they know more than we do.
yet in the color of your face
I see forgetful eyes.
the good life is not gone
though it does not shine.
love does.
we adlib. sip hot chocolate,
catch ice cream, poems
and sweet tears all afternoon.
circle each other with open arms.
what I do is for you.
what you do is for me.
we hold each other with gracious care.
our song will last
beyond when the stars call us.
beyond when the sky's night jewels
invite us up to dance
and join their flickering everlasting.
