distance

in humbleness you gave me your beauty
so, delicate
how i cherish it.

so, graciously.

your sweetness causes me to unfold gently,
petal by petal,
toward your existence.

the nectar, of our flowers
in these pale and, haunting, hours
yearns to be consumed completely

in transit, it waits
with distance, it aches
for the languidness

of our unity
