Because You Are...!
by
TaoliAmbika Talwar

Because You Are There…
~ Taoli-Ambika Talwar

love is when
you sense everything
even when it is not there
in flesh and bone

because your wings turn
golden—grow eyes in skin...
you see whole worlds
wandering around you

startling...coming close
until skin dances
on barks of trees
breeze of music stills

aches through your hair
love is like this even
when it is not there
because you are...!
