By strange and supernova

"two are halves of one" a line by e.e.cummings (one's not half two. It's two are halves of one:)

By strange and supernova

Sometimes blue,
sometimes borrowed,
at other times sunny too
for then I laboured
happily
for our daily bread.

Dead ahead
for another day by your smile,
just another mile
by this way.

May the wind speed me homewards βˆ’
be it a southerly blessing,
bringing a memory of lavender,
be it a cold, harsh northerly storm
for I will warm
downwards of a second by your eyes only.

May the winds speed me
to your arms,
for the beatings of your heart
are my winds.

Nowhere else,
no time when,
but in your stars.

It is not quite
β€œIt's two are halves of one”
for us,
the seas are too deep,
the limits of future
non-existent.

By strange and supernova
we are
mind, body, soul,
whole, haul and howl

Wholeness is safety,
haul saving us,
and howl
the links of life,
my love

Thank you - a large part of the union consists of shared experiences bring born from parents who should never have had offspring - we learned how not to do things, but decided not to make the same mistake. We never went for having children, leaving us with all attention for each other's needs, πŸ‘πŸ˜‡
