Come Closer Than Skin

She's not time. She's what time dreams of becoming. She's not mine, But I move like she moves. I saw her In the stillness between heartbeats. Not walking, but unfolding, not arriving, But remembering. She wears silence Like silk on flame. Every glance, a galaxy that never Needed name. Infinity moves like her, no line, No edge, no border. I reach, I fall, I float, but never cross The water. She don't belong to hours. She don't believe in ends. I lost myself inside her and never want Again. She don't speak, but I hear thunder in the Way her breath forgets. She don't cry, but skies go under when her Eyes confess regrets. No map, no script, just rhythm in her Bones. She teaches me how silence can bring me Home. Every time I try to frame her, She dissolves into the mist. Like the moon inside the river, Real only when not gripped. She's a prayer that prays back, A touch that gives you back your name. She's not the flame, she's the fire's Reason to remain. Infinity moves like her, slow and wide And holy. No need to run, no need to beg. She loves you in your own way. She don't follow gravity. She bends it when she turns. I gave her everything I was. She gave me what I learned. You don't find her. You become still enough To feel where she's already Been.
