Together Let's Begin Our Journey Poem by Mark Heathcote

I'm committed, heart and soul
Soul and heart
Together, let's take a journey.
Dear, look deep into my eyes.
And in each other's eyes
Let's swim the length of the world
And during one night together,
Let us, as continents often do - collide.
And each bright-lit morning, do breaststroke
Like two turtles leaving a desert
To follow the rhythms of the moon
Descending beneath pale opal waves
Let us drown in each other's gaze
And find pools of love, flagrantly
Washing over us—only to return
Like the tides of oceans filled with lust
With every atom molecule, we possess
Hereafter, bring buoyancy and a zest
To us, only the stars themselves retain.
So I can commit again and again
I'm committed, heart and soul
Soul and heart
Together, let's begin our journey.
