Space has no voice,
no light.
The cosmos:
a cathedral
with no choir.
But I hear the galaxies
sing,
a medley of choruses
all at the same time,
with you by
my side.
You shatter
the emptiness.
You shatter
the quiet.
Until voices
rise above
each other,
harmonizing
in a familiar melody,
closing
the space
between
the stars
and the sky.
And
when you are near,
even silence
aches
with sweetness.
The void bends closer,
as if it wants
to listen
to your sound.
Your voice
outshines constellations.
Your breath
writes comets.
Every glance
becomes gravity,
pulling me deeper
than black holes
ever could.
Without you,
the heavens
are cold stone.
With you,
they burn alive,
and I long
for nothing more
than to orbit
this endless night
with you
forever
the music
and in the silence.

I loved this piece because it put into words the feeling that I have been feeling recently - it was a really great perspective and take on being drawn to someone and wanting to stay with them forever, and h0w they make you feel. Beautiful! :)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it :D
