1. Through Our Pores

    I've spent years trying to describe you, the moments between us that are able to halt all surrounding clocks. Hours, minutes, seconds, and the smaller fractions within that we should know better than to try clinging to because They pour and cover us like rain soon to dry from fragile skin, but just a little seeps through our pores and it's more than enough to build worlds in one another Even if there are places in me that you know nothing about right now, folds in my heart that seem unable to let anyone or anything inside, they will open slowly for you in time. Just as the light inside you was patient, reluctant at first before blooming into a glow radiating through all I am. I still try to find the right words, framing syllables and tying sentences together, no combination or code can match your exact form, no shade accurately describes the spectrum of colors created when the sunlight strikes your hair and skin. I should know better than to wield speech or ink to replicate you Because the collision of language can pour to create sonnets, chapters, and novellas that can seep through our pores as all other words are washed away, but the letters we keep within are more than enough to build worlds within one another. Even if there are places in you I do not know how to navigate yet, maps and doors that seem to only lead to dark territories, they will begin to pulse with glows in time Just as the light in me was waiting for your presence before blooming to life. I shouldn't try so hard to find every word to describe you, I should just let every moment between us seep through our pores because they are the pieces we're meant to hand over and use to build worlds within one another.
