Here And There

if you jump out of the ship

and swam your way to me

i am there on a boat casting nets to the water

if you read a book on the train

and tore a paper that you hate

i am there whistling out the window 

if you sing an unpopular song in a bar

and people applause you for your soul

i am there drinking scotch,

just feeling the energy

and inhaling purple molecules

prints of your

existence.

this ain't perfect- the life between the space of our bodies

you will argue your way out to win the most

irrelevant topics

and curse 

me in the morning 

and nag nag nag nag 

and cry because you will think that i do not love you anymore

there will be times that i will despise your hair

and prefer to take a long walk by the bank alone

i picture it-

us fighting. us shouting. but i'll probably let you do the shouting

i picture it

and my stomach turns upside down

but my heart reminds me that it's real.

your skin against mine is real

your simmering emotions 

damn they're real

and i treasure them like

my old childhood photographs

and i'd rather hear you curse me

than not hearing anything from you.

once we had separate lives 

separate deserted roads

and home and cars

but i was there 

and you were here 

through some inflated portal

where time and space busted like a bubble

we were always at one place

at the same f*****g time 

we weren't meant to see each other.

feel each other.

but we have been feeding our energies 

and the vibrations of our thoughts had been colliding 

in the air.

you see, your personality was tailored to mine

your flaws are made for me

your hunger for knowledge is mine to feed

your anguish for the world is mine to kiss in silence

and i am here 

and there

we are here and there

in London 

and the life hereafter.

I really like this. It's packed with emotion and I'm not one to sit through long poetry, but raw emotion and bittersweet description of a strong relationship intrigued me. Thank you for sharing.

Your poem is quite remarkable.. is almost a novella in maybe seventy or so lines. There is such rampant emotions stirred, opinions given, love shared The incredible connection between you and that 'other's is as ripe as a fruit ready for taking.

The following phrases are... beautiful truth:

'- you see, your personality was tailored to mine
your flaws are made for me (a grand admission)
your hunger for knowledge is mine to feed
your anguish for the world is mine to kiss in silence -

Togetherness in mind, spirit, heart.
