I Love You Always, Just, The Same.

I woke at 5, my throat on fire
a quiet, scorching, deep desire
I thought of you, and how we’ve changed
I love you always, just, the same.

When skies are pink
In days of rain
In sickness, health,
sane and insane
The feelings sow, and I grow tired
I love you, always, just, the same.

I dream, and leave
up into space
But even there
I see your face
On earth, the stars,
In lifetimes prior
I love you, always, just the same.

In many words
or in the silence
between the worlds
in midst of violence
with chaos held
in doubt and shame
I love you, always, just, the same.

Together, alone
I know your name
awaken my soul
I push you away
A mirror, a wall, my sun, inspired
I love you, always, just, the same.

In heaven, felt
I see your flame,
in body, fever,
my spirit sings,
And since I met you
I burn brighter
I love you, always, just, the same.
