Intimacy Ratios

Beyond any doubt

you will not break my heart

but instead

reduce it to microscopic shreds past recognition

Quivering cardiac pulses

that feel eternity loss

from love-scraped cords not easily relinquished

A future that looms inevitable

does nothing to dissuade

and mathematics

the basis of scientific principle

lies comatose before me

as a day

a week

a decade

without hesitation

I'd surrender

to possess this ratio of unequal terms

There are unions beyond yearning

and such irrepressible force of bond

where heavens kneel

in supplication

and weep

for redress of torn spheres

and seclusion

for timeless ties divine born

Kindest thanks to you for reading all the words I did not say for the "Things You Can't Say Out Loud" Vocal Challenge.
