your homecoming will be my homecoming-
my selves go with you,only i remain;
a shadow phantom effigy or seeming
(an almost someone always who's noone)
a noone who,till their and your returning,
spends the forever of his loneliness
dreaming their eyes have opened to your morning
feeling their stars have risen through your skies:
so,in merciful love's own name,linger
no more than selfless i can quite endure
the absence of that moment when a stranger
takes in his arms my very life who's your
-when all fears doubts hopes beliefs disappear.
Everywhere and joy's perfect wholeness we're
-E.E Cummings, Selected Poems,
passage 9 of Love and it's Mysteries
