Completion

When I can feel your
heartbeat
on my palm
When I can
turn over and kiss
your sleeping eyelids
When I can raise
my eyes to see your smile
I'll know Completion.

Completeion of my life
The finishing of my soul

When I can touch
your cheeck while you sleep
When I can hear
your soothing laugh
When I can taste
your lips on mine
I will know completion

Completion of my mind
and the missing pieces of my heart.
