it should come as no surprise:
the ESSENtial one
my ESSENce
the two words sharing like they do
a simple matter of letters forming,
a gathering
strength in numbers
the sum total
greater, more powerful than its parts
like these two
the we that holds this house upright and steady
the beautiful total of two
the totality of the we---
the sum of us
the essential one
comes to me
with dreams of sand and sweat
warm lips on cool skin
a universe away
and yet always here between us
a steady beat
a metronome of heat
pulsing us along
the essence of me held in us both
so should i begin to falter
you then breathe for two
our sum is small
but we are mighty
