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.
I shall be me and you shall be you.
together we're thick salsa,
spiced just right.

last night we danced on ice.
wore our hipster hats.
affirmed we like crows and chocolate.
I love when you laugh.
talk about your earrings.
we're pinned together
like wind and water.
your loud arms are my loud arms.
they say the stars are the masters.
they know more than we do.
yet they are our kingdom of dreams.
they carry our flowers
and welcome us home.
the good life is not gone
though it does not shine.
love does.
your beautiful soul lies flush with mine.

what I do is for you.
what you do is for me.
we hold each other with gracious care.
someday the moon will no longer reside
in the night sky,
and perhaps the Earth will flee the Sun
for some nearby star.
stay with me.
stay till those sky night jewels
invite us up to dance.
till we sing as one
into the flood lights of oblivion
as we enter that elusive mystery.
