X Marks the Spot
X Marks the Spot
X—is it the destination,
Dear Master of Love
or merely where the search begins?
A coordinate tells us where we are.
A question asks what we might become.
And home?
Ah Dear Ones
Home is where two answers meet.
No north star burns in uncharted space,
No ancient road leads to your face.
So I take my bearing from the gravity—
The quiet pull you place on me.
Through fields of dark, through waves unknown,
I learned a heart can steer us home.
Not by the worlds that drift in view,
But by the force that draws me to you.
Define your vector.
A direction given purpose.
And its magnitude?
Everything I’m willing to cross.
X marks the spot where your orbit crosses mine,
Two wandering vectors choosing to align.
Not conquered ground, not something we possess—
A place made sacred when we both say yes.
Love is the power that multiplies our light,
Your courage times mine in the depth of night.
Home isn’t waiting at the journey’s end—
X marks the place where we begin again.
Every treasure map promises buried gold,
A secret place the heart can hold.
But what if treasure isn’t something found?
What if it grows when we break the ground?
What if the mark is neither yours nor mine,
But the living point where our stories combine?
Two separate paths, two rhythms, one chance—
It takes two souls to choose the dance.
Why does the unknown
wear the same sign as multiplication?
Because love begins
where certainty ends—
And makes each life greater
without making either life less.
Then is X the question or the answer?
The question we answer together.
X marks the spot where your orbit crosses mine,
Two wandering vectors choosing to align.
Not conquered ground, not something we possess—
A place made sacred when we both say yes.
Love is the power that multiplies our light,
Your courage times mine in the depth of night.
Home isn’t waiting at the journey’s end—
X marks the place where we begin again.
X marks the place where we begin again.
Before X was a kiss,
before it numbered ten,
*Samekh* swam through ancient tongues
and changed, then changed again.
Through Greece and Rome its journey ran,
reshaped by every voice and hand—
Until two simple lines became
a crossing, coordinate, and name.
If every meeting changes us,
do we remain what we have been?
The two lines cross,
but neither disappears.
That is the meaning.
That is love.
If the map is lost?
We navigate by trust.
If the signal fades?
We become the signal.
If the stars go dark?
We multiply our light.
And if we lose our way?
We draw the map again.
X marks the spot where your future crosses mine,
Where the great unknown becomes a chosen line.
Not fate alone, not gravity above—
We set the course each time we choose our love.
Love is the power no distance can divide,
Two hearts in motion, navigating side by side.
Home is not a planet, a harbor, or an end—
It lives at the crossing where we choose again.
Coordinates confirmed.
Destination?
No.
Point of origin.
X marks the spot.
Love is our home.
