What happens to your love when you die?

What happens to your love when you die? 

There’s a universe of love

Shining through my

Skin

Storied by my

Fascia

Stored in my

Fat

Woven by my

Muscle

Calcified by my

Bone

Floating in my

Marrow 

Churning in my 

Capillaries 

Written in my

DNA

{ I love the / my love is

Seen / unseen

Tangible / intangible }

More than words the

Curl of her hair

Smooth shell of his head

Smell of her neck

Scent of his nose

Cross of her ankles

Gristle of his beard

Softness of her cheek

Fuzz on his chest

Her shoulder blades like wings 

How he holds me when I cry

How she needs me when she cries

How he holds me when we kiss 

How I feel when I kiss them

How he watches me when I’m not looking

How they hope I will never die 

How we keep going, hand in hand

The lifetimes we have spent together

And will spend together

The mystery that exists between

The closest of hearts.

When I’m gone 

I will kiss you

With the wind and the rain

I will smell you 

From inside the flowers

I will hug you

When you roll on the grass 

I will rub your feet 

As you walk barefoot on the earth

I will become the water

Stroking your skin 

And the wind that 

Plays with your hair.

I wish I could live forever

But we all leave in our own time

With a string of love trailing

Behind

So that we can find each other 

Again.
