Saudade (Nostalgic Longing) Poem by Maria Hartman

The moment I feel your presence
Your everything is in my everything
Our cells become indistinguishable
Passion flows from your veins into mine

I see through your eyes
And find things I thought I'd lost
Or things I never knew I possessed
Reflecting the colors of time

I hear through your ears
The sweet murmurs of excitement
Whispers of so many secrets
Of two halves of the same soul

I feel through your heart
The throbbing batucada of my heart
The strumming of all the moments
We should, could and did realize

The synapses of our dreams
Are intertwined in endless ways
Where it begins, I don't know, but
It revolves around the vacuum you've left

So that I never lose any part of you
I desperately try to allure all your senses
Everything in me wants to consume you
And make you mine forever
