Residence
You will find yourself mirrored in my soul
There is a maze within me that flourishes,
And twists and bends into new turns each time your eyes meet mine,
You make further inroads into my heart.

You will find yourself reflected in every pore of mine,
Etched into the palms of my hands.
That which seeps in, soon becomes ingrained.

You will see yourself taking root within me
My mind is sown with your fertile dreams
And the kiarascuro of visions that you conjure.

You will see yourself echoed in every movement of mine,
Fall, bend, halt, glance, curve, slip,fold, blush, withdraw, spill, scatter, flow, resurrect.
These are echoes of the grace you have awoken in me.

You will hear your love singing in my blood
Giving rhythm to my life, making my world spin to wordless tunes
A tempo that breaks into a run, a tempo that races,
A tempo that slows down to a stately walk, a tempo that is as slow and gradual as breathing
A tempo that is set before the first chord is struck,
A tempo that stays long after the last note has faded, and beyond

You will find yourself walking by my side, even in your absence.
You will chance upon your laughter in my joy.
You will find your hand fitting the spaces and grooves in mine, like corresponding puzzle pieces.

And when you look into the pools of my eyes
You will see yourself gazing out.
