It's not forever that I want from you
It's not routine
or growing tired
It's not leading the same old worn way
most believe
that most should go

but to stay in this grace
and this spark and this
way
and this time
and at night or the day and
if we joke, cry, or spill
take, mind, or play
sway
all we can or what we might not say
this having what I can't even name
unspeakable unobservable

the essence to which you translate

    I rarely write about love or relationships because it's difficult to do without being cliche or flat out boring... however, you seem to do it with ease and originality. Loved it.
    I read it out loud and it sounds amazing--some gentle repetition and internal rhyme goes a long way.
    Works really well. Thanks for sharing!
