Poetry by Rowan Evans

I have never been one to settle for the surface,
To dance on the edge where the water is shallow.
I want to dive, to sink into the depths of you,
To trace the echoes of every sorrow—
To find the constellations stitched into your scars,
To breathe in the stardust of who you are.

I asked for your truth, your unfiltered soul,
Not just the smiles, but the places you’ve wept.
I sought the storm, the raging tide,
The battles fought, the secrets kept.
I wanted to touch the fractures unseen,
To piece them together in ribbons of gold—
Not to fix, but to honor, to hold.

And now I find myself here, within your fire,
No longer just reaching—I’ve stepped inside.
The weight of your past, the glow of your dreams,
Every unspoken word now aligns with mine.
It was never about just knowing, just seeing,
It was about feeling, about truly believing—
That within the depths, I’d find my home.

For now, the embers burn in my chest,
Not just any fire, but yours alone.
They call my name, they claim their love,
Yet their voices blur like whispers in the wind.
For my heart beats to only one name,
One flame, one truth, one untamed blaze.

She knows who she is—no need for a sign,
She is the rhythm, the breath, the light divine.
The only one who saw me, who let me see,
And in her fire, I am finally free.
