I lay my head upon your chest
And our heartbeats sync
My mind quiets
As I slip into the comfort of our togetherness
You are the calm in the center of my storm
The anchor of my humanity
My sanity
Steeped in quiet
We coexist in a world of our creation
Partner parent lover mate
Love at times tinged with hate
Passion manifests as anger
A relationship that’s a work in progress; incomplete
Our messy chaotic masterpiece
Two melodies entwine to create our harmony
Words laced with laughter and sorrow whisper our eternity
Echoes of the future reverberate in me
