To Be Honored
Angela Malzow

He and I
Together we are a breath
On a lost trail in an evergreen forest
Where the remnants of adventure await
We are the soft sepia of every sunrise
And the bloody reds when the sun sets
The froth on the ocean's crests whisper our names
In the deep blue we scavenge for our livelihood
The tides carry us to the warmth of one another's shores

I am the songbird, following him through the day
My feathers ruffle when he tunes me out
Still my voice is sugar sweet upon his ears
Where he longs for my lips to press and nip
I vow my heart has found peace
So I share my soul with him alone
Content, his hands cradle the crimson vessel
My chest rises and falls under his damask eyes

He is the summer of passion and eternity
The fire of love burns on his tongue
And sets the world ablaze just to make me smile
I swear he hears my thumping chest
And devises every word to quicken my pulse
He is the pale shadow in my night
The snapping jaws behind which I seek shelter
Every moon that rises, he turns my night azure
With the righteous way he soothes me
And in the way he says my name

He and I
Bound in the golden threads of our dreams
Together we weave a place made of laughter and light
He and I
Given to one another
Given, at last, our chance at serenity
Is this what it's like?
I'm astounded if it is.
