Person

I realize late in life
With honest hesitation
Who erases my strife
without speculation

Where time and togetherness
Has become more precious
With each day’s consciousness
Spread across infinite senses witness

Witness to gentleness and intimacy
Writing its story with each caress
While hands held ease crazy anxiety
Sleeping curled together in kindness

While each close touch of affection
Creates a desire for permanent sharing
Inclusion just beyond lasting actions
Where complexity is an instrument

That builds temporary crumbling
Walls slowly dissolving
With each day passing
To a point it is a path clearing

From day one’s connection
Of earnest conversation
A mind merge burning torments collection
Spent coursing through isolation

A trite phrase of truth germinates
She is my person in fact
My quirky lovely soulmate
Who has become my final act
