everything you are,
is gold
breath
and teeth.
i cannot not explain
the feelings
you inject into my veins.
they bask within the flow,
of salt and joy
and wonder.
i cannot explain
through the words i write
the things i say
the eyes that i own,
to understand
is to rest your palm on my chest
and feel how he makes my heart run
is to watch my eyes turn yellow
at the sound of his voice
it is to take one look at him,
all of him
and think
i am alive.
