Your Breath Revive Me

Myth.
Time is a myth.
There is no time.
When I’m with you
Time stands still.
Time with you is timeless.

But how to communicate
The absence of time,
The fact of us?
I.
You.
We.
One.

You are my life,
My forever,
My sun.
I am your moon.

You hold me in your orbit.
You are my Center.
My Universe.
My Infinity.
You are my Timelessness.

A blush, a smile, a word.
A touch, a thought, a kiss.

Actions conceived.
Actions performed.
Actions completed.

As if they’d never been.

Except as memory.

Memory.

Memory is time.
The future is to come.
The future is not now.
The past has been.
The past remains.
Memory.
Memory is time.

Myth.
Time is a myth.
There is no time.
Action is time is action.
Is time measured in action?
Is action measured in time?

Shadow. Light is shadow.
There is no light
When I’m with you.
I’m cast upon you.
Shadow upon light.
You are my light.

Curse. Time is a curse.
There is no time.
Time is before you.
Time is after you.
Now is not time.
Now is you.

Death. I don’t want to die forever.
Just for a day.
Just for a day.
To know you’ve brought me back to life.
Your breath of life.
You breathe of life.
Breathe into me.
Your breath revive me.

You are my life,
My forever,
My sun.
I am your moon.

And when we are
I.
You.
We.
One.
There is no time.
Time stands still.
Time stands still.

And in the end
There is no end;
I return to you.
Return to you.

And in the end, the
Inevitable end,
When we take leave –

Yet,
Time stood still.
Time stood still
When you held me –

Where did time go?
