you and me
sonnet two

when my book opens, your gaze
and smile flutters through the wilderness,
through the vast expanse of the universe,
through the haze, through the void

and my hands will take yours
and will know it like all beautiful
things should be recognized
and will remember every trace of

simplicity and grace, unravel each
strand of mystery from your body
that conquer my fears

and with my eyes dreaming, my thoughts
shall wander and find your heart
in my life as my book closes.
