You told me that you don’t dance
But you lied
You dance
We dance
We make love
You lead and I follow
We weave in and out of moonlight
Steps intricate and familiar
Movement in perfect sync
Hands trace melodic sensations
The lyric of our sighs
The tempo of our hearts
The beautiful song that only we two share
A dance as old as time
Intertwined by the music
We sing
We love
And we dance
My Love.
You have been away for about a week.
And I have been without you for too long.
You reappeared in my life quite unexpectedly
At a time when I needed you.
As we renewed our friendship I began to see a side of you that I had not known.
The “grownup” person that you had become in those long years apart.
The man that had been forged from the boy.
The one person who completed me.
Soothed my soul,
And captured my heart.
My friend.
My life.
My Love.
In the mists of ever after
All my dreams are bathed in light.
Wrapped in arms so strong yet tender
Love upon midsummer’s night.
Never more an evening lonely,
Never more a heart un-whole.
Mists that promise love unending
Mists that whisper to my soul.
Lay with me beneath soft veils
Enveloped heart and soul and mind.
Share the mists of ever after
Share with me the mists of time.
I think of you.
I see your face
I feel your touch
I dream.
And
I
Dream.
My dreams are warmth
And comfort
And love.
I close my eyes.
I see yours looking into mine
I see the love
I feel the promise
I dream.
And
I
Dream.
My dreams are truth
And reassurance
And solace.
I dream.
And
I
Dream.
My dream is you.
I didn’t fall in love with you…..
Some might say that I did
But I can’t.
It wasn’t a fall.
It was a “coming home”
A “perfect fit”
“Completion”
It was simply, that we were meant to be
And once we found each other
It was everything
And I flowed into you
And became
Love
You had to go
For only a short time
But I had begun to miss you even as you said goodbye.
An emptiness formed in my chest
For you were taking my heart with you.
Then you smiled.
I saw the look in your eyes
And the empty space filled to overflowing.
The place where my heart used to be
Was now filled by yours.
For you left it with me
To keep safe and warm
‘Til the time when once again
They would beat together
As one.
Heart to Heart
I want
I want to be your warmth when you are cold
I want to be your light when the world seems dark
I want to be your reason to laugh when you are sad
I want to be the one who touches your hand when you feel alone
I want to be your calm when you are facing the storm
I want to be your wine when you are thirsty
I want to be your dream when you close your eyes
I want to be the one who touches your heart when you feel loved
I want to be your solace when others seem cruel
I want to be your strength when you are feeling powerless
I want to be your passion when the world stands still
I want to be the one who touches your soul in the moonlight
I want to be the one
I want
You
He walked towards her
Weary
The day heavy on his shoulders
As she waited for him in their bed
This most intimate of places
Where souls are laid bare
And all truths are made known
Then she smiled
Welcomed him to her side
Without words
Without expectations
Her very presence calming him
Relaxing him
So he took her into his arms
Felt the strength in her softness
And he knew
That he was
At long last
Home
My love….
I don’t know how to express what you mean to me.
Words fail. They seem too inadequate….too easy…..too common.
When you came into my life I had given up on love
It always came with a price and the last one had left me broken
Empty
Done.
I have never been loved as honestly
As unselfishly
As completely
As you
When I am upset you wait, and listen and comfort.
When I am wrong you wait, and listen and understand.
When I snore, you smile because it means that I am sleeping deeply and you care about that.
When my children take over my time, our time, you understand and don’t judge.
You love me….all of me….no qualifications.
When I love – you love in return.
My heart was dead
My soul numb
You brought the flame
You stirred the ashes
And from my ruin
You coaxed
My Phoenix
I can still feel your body against mine
Your touch
Your warmth
Feel your breath on my face
Your sighs
Your whispers
Feel your heartbeat against mine
Your hands in my hair
My lips on your neck
As we dance
And we love
And the entire world becomes just us two
Skin to skin
Breath to breath
Sigh to sigh
Soul to soul
And my essence dissolves
Until I am only
Feeling you
