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.
when we're bones,
the sky and earth will inherit our love.
but till then we have each other,
two simple souls on a journey.  
I shall be me and you
shall be you.
together we're thick salsa.
last night we danced on ice.
affirmed we both love spare ribs,
crows and chocolate.
I hear your gentle call. know your hard pain.
seek the breath drawn from your heart.
your loud arms are my arms.
we are pinned to each other,
like wind and water.
but we cannot master the stars.
they know more than we do.
the good life is not gone
though it does not shine.
love does.
we can adlib hot chocolate,
poems and sweet tears all afternoon.
what I do is for you.
what you do is for me.
we hold each other's beauty
with gracious care.
our song will last
till the sky's night jewels
invite us up to dance.
