Standing Meeting

We meet like clockwork. 3:34, A.M.

Whispers of "I love you" awaken and begin

Your bed or mine

we're one in the same

So long as our mind and body meet

destiny, sustained.

A soul is satisfied, to eternity and back

As your cheek grazes mine, a lover's longing pat

Surely our souls know how to 'be' just fine

autopilot found us here, at the most opportune time

"and" if life, had one wish to grant-

I'd pray with the longest running, reiterating, rant

that we meet at every 3:34 A.M

to remind me I'm forever yours

As you reach for my vein encased hand

A reorienting of fingertips by the grace of your command

A simple brush-stroked calligraphy

Rolling A's and connected L's

A future change of name

A purple hearted spell

Permanent painted ink

Despite an omen's tell

Your world and mine

forever bound and intertwined

As loving eyes do transcend time

I think

I've never been more sure

that undoubtedly, I love you more
