I see galaxies in your eyes.
When I look at you and truly see you
I see something so vast, so alive
So lonely,
So, so beautiful.
I feel the cold rush of sighs the stars can't voice
And the slow burn of their hearts,
The hidden passions that will someday devour them-
Their electric joy to exist
And their wise grief, that someday they will sputter out.
I feel the confusion of a deity too large for itself, full of echoing spaces and cavernous darkness
So much space inside that she thinks she's small.
So much blinding loveliness that she sees nothing.

I see galaxies in your eyes.
I named the moon after you, and every star, breathing your name in and out until I finally realized that the whole sky
Was yours
And everything beyond it.
And everything beneath it.
And me,
Little me- what am I next to the sun?
Next to the paths of glittering diamonds that sing the song of your soul to the void and make it something?
There is no heaven or hell, my love, there is
Only you
And you are more than both.
You hold the universe in your fingers,
You speak and gravity shifts,
You dream and worlds become,
You sigh and stars rain down
To pierce the darkness.
You cradle the earth in your arms
And if you ever let go, this world will freeze
Still as a rose
Trapped in a moment of longing forever.
Don't let go.
You pull the tides
You sway the trees
You sing the moon
You raise the sun
You sigh the rain
Your heartbeat
Holds the earth together.
I see
Galaxies in your eyes.
Don't let go. This place is only beautiful
Because you are here to live in it.
