The Two of Us

It's been ages since I have written poems. Honestly, I don't even remember which I wrote the last haha. So for the mean time, while I'm still trying to figure out how to replenish my almost-drained creative juices, indulge in this poem entitled The Two of Us by Kotaro Takamura. And if just in case you're reading this future boyfriend, I dedicate this to you. Savor the lines and the in betweens.

Whenever I think of you 

I feel closest to eternity,

I exist and you exist

That’s all that matters,

My life and your life

Merge and melt into one

Return to where they began,

All our differences disappear, 

For us everything is perfectly defined,

There’s no battle of the sexes,

There’s faith and devotion, passion and freedom,

All the facets of human beings in union,

I have faith in the way we live 

As readily as I have faith in nature

So I can look down on the ‘world’

And triumph over all its stupidities

We have risen far above it all,

I feel my pain as your pain,

My pleasure as your pleasure,

I trust you as much as I trust myself,

I see my own growth in your growth,

However fast I travel, I will never leave you behind, 

I am filled with energy

And you are glowing with youth,

You are a burning flame,

You make me feel younger

And you can always surprise me,

You are a solid rock of reality,

Your kisses moisten me,

Your embraces nourish me,

Your cool limbs

Your curvaceous body

Your glowing skin

The power of life coursing through you

This is all I need for an idyllic life, 

You trust me,

You live in me

And this makes you who you are,

We cherish life,

We’re always restless 

Pushing onwards as far as we can go 

Growing

Spreading

Deepening - 

Such radiance, such happiness
