Gracious Words.

I often lay awake at night
watching you traverse your dreams;
my arms around you, squeezing tight
embracing love supreme.
Yet I find it hard to close my eyes
for each time that I do
I fall beneath the rising tides
in a sea of missing you.

“When I see you,
when I touch you
when I catch your scent -
it’s like holding a chrome
kettle that’s been wired incorrectly
and is connected to the mains.
You course through me
sending tingles from head to toe;
what a fucking buzz!”
“She wanted to feel like
heaven so I released the
devil in me and we rejoiced
in psalms of a primal tongue
as our bodies burned in a pyre
of consummation.”
“I cannot change the past
or take away your pain
but I will love you unconditionally.
I will be the light
that keeps the shadows
of your discontent at bay.”
“Tonight
as we celebrate
the day’s end
with material shed
and inhibitions waylaid
I will love you;
and you will feel
the way I feel
every time I see you
every time I touch you
every time I think of you”
“Still, I keep searching
for I truly believe
that before the horizon
lies my reason to be”
“Lay with me a moment longer
and let me help you forget,
that which time has refused to heal.”
“To the woman at the breakfast bar
with the 5am hair,
wearing nothing but a sleepy smile
and mis-match underwear;
should every day begin this way
with coffee cups neath rising steam
the two of us hungover
from a night of chasing dreams,
then every day shall be the day
you make my dreams come true.
Every day another chance
to share my love with you.”
“I knew it was love
from the moment she touched me;
though eyes never met”
“As is now
so shall it be
a promise of
eternity;
we are because
we’re meant to be
in love
in life
in unity.”
