Bonded

Gabriel Miranda

 

In the heat and temper of virtuous love

My heart bursts and reconstructs,

adding pieces of you day by day.

And though the ridges between us

seem a great divide, I’ve never felt closer.

With your love radiating from my chest,

and the ever-amber of your eyes

in the back of my mind,

Our separation is merely temporal.

measured in days and not in miles.
