Hemisphere & Horizon

You define me 

In all ways I know of me

 

You are the preface of my life

The genesis of every word I learn

 

You are my road and my home

Standing sure, at the corner of every exhaustion

 

You are my light and it’s music

Voices loud and clear even in my deepest silence

 

You are the finality

That nudges my calves forward, decisive steps

 

You establish my moorings

The canopy where I curl into myself 

 

You straddle fragile moments

In ways that mended with perseverance

 

You are gorgeous

Together and in contrast, my paradise

 

You trip across life, dreams on cobblestones

And I wonder if I will be even half as magnetic

 

You illustrate imperturbable composure

Giving me faith, when calm eludes me

 

You pruned your relationship, often I heard

your arguments dripping warmly into conversations

 

You shaped habits into each other’s imperfections

My compass when I meander into my own tunnels

 

You are the hemisphere and horizon

I am safely straddled with you as my bookends

One thought on “Hemisphere & Horizon”

  1. Your arguments dripping warmly into coversations
    Seems to be universal truth in the lives of all loving couples
    You have always been magnetic and your magnetism has attracted every one who has come within your magnetic range
    Very well written it is piece of convincing poetry.
