Undismissed

I watched as you drew closer still.
As your fingertips lingered
half a second longer
with each stolen touch.

I saw my involuntary reaction,
the non-flinch in our embrace.
I felt my breath rush in
as you casually passed by
attempting to disguise
your intention of catching the scent
of my hair.

The absolute history
of us long before we can recall
pulled us together with effortless power
and we watched in awe
unable to conjur
the illusion of resentment or fear.

We are so much more than we know
and we're very aware of our elements
of Divinity.

Everything dark becomes an insignificant nightmare
dismissed
when you kiss me new again.
