joint expression (new poem)

joint expression
by Tim Kavi

our joint expression
is like brick and mortar
built on the wall
of each other
until the one wall is
forever and every location
made eternal and strong

our joint expression
unfolds like a constant river
that flows
from the mountains
to the mighty oceans

This composed life
and love
is majestic and formed
by you and me

In our love

our joint expression folds
like a sculpture
of fine marbled
existence
within fine lines
and a shape

there is my face
and yours
that can only cause awe
and reverence
for each other

In our love

our joint expression
is the sound of two voices
each with a distinct message
but one central theme

In our love

our joint expression
is the sound of winged eagles
floating across
an ocean
of sound
resting in the
comingled nest

In our love

our joint expression
is a whisper
followed by a mighty shout
of both planes
of being and existence

In our love

our joint expression
is happy song
that moves listeners
to dancing hearts
and tapping feet

In our love

our joint expression
is so interwoven
that two become
so enfolded
that I cannot tell where You
begin
nor where I end

for we are one

In our love.
