Without a sound did my heart warm
To new, exciting, tender change
The likes of which did take a form
I’d not thought of before
And though it was frightful, unknown
My heart did say to rest a while:
“Let what’s been reaped so too be sown,
And love will grow yet more.”
And so years on my heart’s proved right;
Unfounded were my fears;
Its words I hear now in new light
With open, eager ears
Tonight I held you
And gazed deep into your eyes—
An evening well-spent
Sitting by a fire
Listening to waves roll in
Holding your hand tight
Though oft I do despair
For want of freer air
I cannot but be awed at my good luck
For when I could not see
I set my heart to thee
And no longer could chaos run amok
When I did walk alone
My heart hard as a stone
Ne’er could I have imagined such a fate
As to be bound to you
A bond so right and true
That all the shadows in my mind abate
Twirling, spinning, joyous dancing
All about the clouds
With you
As the sun winks out and the stars awaken
I find in your eyes
True beauty
Life
As if all the universe till that point had strived
To bring us to that moment
To fill our hearts with joy
And your eyes with light
Like the light of creation itself
The stars are ours
Our souls, a story
Far longer than
This life
I see that tale
In your
Eyes.
And once with furrowed brow you asked of me,
What was it made me fall in love with thee?
For one, it was the starlight in your eyes;
For two, it was the moonbeams in your hair;
For three, your copper skin in the sunrise;
(Of course what first I saw was: you are fair!)
For four, it was the music in your laugh;
For five, the way you woke my thoughtful side;
For six, you were at once my better half;
For sev’n, the way you made me smile so wide;
For eight, I felt at once alive and true;
For nine, we saw above us the same sky;
For ten, as ne’er before, with you I knew
That in this life some walk, but we would fly.
Someday I know I’ll think of more to say;
I hope these truths suffice for thee today.
A hot cup of tea
My fingers tangled with yours
Nothing else matters
I walked without a sound
Went down a lonely street
And who there should I meet
But you
I quieted my lips
I opened up my ear
So better could I hear
Your voice
And though it’s been a while
You are beside me yet
With Fate I’ve won a bet
So ev’ry day I get to see your smile
When your heart can rest
In knowledge that it is safe, no matter what comes
In knowledge that it is cared for
In knowledge that another gently cups it in their hands
And in knowledge that that other will never forsake it
That is peace
Firelight shines bright
On the face of my beloved
Outlining her softest features
Giving breath to her breath
Light to her light
As she lies there
There, her expression still
Quiet as her mind grows quiet
Worries slip away
And firelight shines upon her
Worries now are gone, her
Hair falls easily, wildly
Her breath, soft
Like the fire’s
They breathe together
Both soft as ever
One crackles, both burn
With light
So bright
