there is so much
solace
embedded into every
atom and molecule and particle
that makes up
the length of your arms,
the warmth of your palms,
the broadness of your chest,
the crevice of your neck,
the arch of your shoulder,
the slant of your collarbone,
the curve of your smile,
the melody of your laugh,
the love in your eyes,
and everything that i might have missed
you are
the utter embodiment
of the word
solace
itself
and every breath you take
obliterates
the fear and disappointment and hate
clouding my brain,
and fills my lungs
with the oxygen
that they have been craving
all this time
