Infinite
by Rashidah Manongdo
Your fingers are like Saturn.
Grey rings imprinting
marks on your skin,
Clutching each finger
Like they can’t get enough
Of touching you.
Your eyes are black holes,
Drawing in everything they see.
Addictive and exhilarating,
The result of a supernova so mighty,
That a galaxy was born.
Your hair wears a crown of asteroids,
A circlet of celestial bodies
Blessed to wrap around your vinous locks,
A glorious gift,
To sit so close to you.
Your skin is littered with stardust,
Planets freckle your shoulders
You are vast,
In both mind and body,
Even the sun’s light
Cannot touch all that you have.
Being with you
Is intoxicating,
Like drinking up a glass
Of pure atmosphere,
Like bathing in the color
Of a thousand galaxies,
Like taking the first steps
Onto an uncharted planet
You are,
A cosmical wonder,
Consuming me
In your numinous blaze,
Breathy words,
And starlit touches,
You,
Truly are
Infinite.
