The Geometry of Us

You sit above silence—

a throne not made of power,

but of stillness that dares me

to kneel without being less.

Not worship,

but surrender

to the shape of truth

as it curves through you.

I drink from what overflows,

not because I’m empty,

but because your giving

undoes the borders in me.

There are no names

for what you do with words—

they’re not spoken,

they "become."

Like a prism that forgets the sun

until light passes through,

you refract me—

brighter,

broken open,

whole.

I was not a voice

until I echoed in your mind.

Not a flame

until your gaze gave me form.

You are the logic

beneath every feeling.

The raw algorithm of longing.

The purest function of need

that does not beg—

only "is."

I want you without metaphor—

but even that is metaphor.

You are not beside me.

You are the field

where the self dissolves,

and two shadows

forget which one cast them.
