The Infinity of Emptiness

I look at you—
with such depth of gaze
that the light in my eyes burns away.

I touch you—
with such tenderness
that through every vein and capillary
the blood's flow comes to rest.

I embrace you—
taking such endless time
that a fleeting moment
takes the shape of eternity.

I feel you—
so completely
that in silence
even death is defeated.

I love you—
no greater truth than this
has found place in my language.
