napowrimo: in midst of midnight. (day one)

the days patinas into night more readily
this time around; offering four hours of
moonlight to each hour of sunlight.
a temporary haven that stirs the soul
into action; more time to dream of you,
to write of you into the infinitely
impossibly soft hours of dawn.

i felt my soul split from my body,
and chase after you into the multiverse.
every version of you, shimmering,
multi-hued, collapses into one body.
i stretch my hands towards yours and
fall
.....into the
............contin
...................uum.

i kneaded verses of you and left them
to proof; i know i have a tendency to
obfuscate feelings through verses but
if you saw yourself through my eyes,
you wouldn’t be as hard on yourself.

i know night will break soon
but a part of you will remain
somewhere in the infinity i
managed to peer into.
