Love is in the Other

Love is in the Other

Love is drinking
Love is being drunk,
Upon the other
Upon the other;

Sinking, fading deep,
Fading as the twilight sun sleeps,
Into the other
Into the other;

Love is being drunk
Love is being sunk,
Deep down in the other
Deep down in the other;

So absorbed,
Self satisfied, self ignored,
Gazing only at the other
Gazing only at the other;

Love is being stilled
Love is being filled,
Completely by the other
Completely by the other;

Loss of time
Loss of place,
Face to face with the other
Face to face with the other;

Love is in the other
Love is in the other.
