to death and everything beyond

The feeling of wanting to love someone for eternity and more.

'I love you to death'

her voice was soft,

like feathers ghosting my ears.

Her lips were softer,

dancing with mine in a familiar routine,

capturing the sincerity of her words like honey on my tongue.

Her eyes,

ever tender,

fluttered to a close.

I blinked,

my eyes open just a slit,

as to not miss the shadows flitting about her face.

I wanted not to just feel her lips embracing mine,

but to see the pinkish hue that crept up her neck.

I wanted to smell the floral fragrance on her clothes,

sink my nose in her neck and breathe in her every scent.

To learn her heart beat,

and hear her delicate breaths as they left her lips in soft gasps.

I wanted to feel as i felt in that moment for eternity and beyond,

til day and night bleed together and emptiness encases the world,

til the stars begin to fade out and the concept of love ceases to exist. 

'I will love you through death and everything beyond' 

my voice was not nearly as gentle,

my whispers catching on her tongue. 

She made no mention,

capturing my frame in a sweet embrace.

We are like the sun and the moon,

without me she is everything,

without her i am nothing

and that works.

For now and forever.

Author's Note

Hi, this is my first (published) piece on here and i hope it is as good as it is relatable. I am open to (constructive) criticism and would actually love to hear your opinion.

A raw yet sensitive poem. hinting at the obvious. Then travelling on to arrive, lock stock and barrel.
Happiness travels smoothly when mutually agreed, don't you think?

Hop e you enjoy your time in the Cafe. :)
