A Love Poem

Joshua Morales

Here.

I give you words that bind

like And and Love

a tethering paste

that piece my shadow and your soul, love

Here.

I give you fire that burns

like the curves of your lips

a flickering bridge

that connects the beginning of our mouths to its conclusion

Here.

I give you the space between my arms

like the dispersing space within my heart

Inconsolable, words to a darkness, and its light

my love, forever yours
