Is this what God feels like?



Nothing. thats what i heard when you held my face.
my demons watched your hand lift to caress my cheek and they cowered in fear, for who knew, who knew
there could ever be a spirit as radiant as yours.
who knew, who knew
there could be a essence so pure, id forget how unholy my life was before you blessed me.
Everything. thats what i felt when you kissed me.
after being numb for so long, after being tired for so long,
you made me feel everything i never knew i wanted to feel.
you reached through time , you made me remember why god made eve from Adam’s ribcage, i felt you in my bones.
Infinite. thats what we are. because there is no end to you as there is not beginning to me. you are me and i am you.
when you look at me, when i touch you, when you hug me, when i kiss you.
when you make love to me, when i cry to you, when you lay with me, when i speak to you.
it is forever an exchange of energy, it is the cloud into rain, rain into the ocean, back into a cloud, it is boundless. it is celestial.
It is Nothing.
It is Everything.
It is Infinite.
We are Nothing.
We are Everything.
We are Infinite.
