Age of Love

-

Turning to laugh softly at your witty adage,
I meet the same soft blue eyes 
I have looked into for the past three decades.
They are now surrounded by laugh lines but, 
I am just as hopelessly in love with the man behind them 
As I was the day you took my hand.
The years have passed...
And our hair has greyed, 
Our faces softened to timeworn wrinkles but,
The same adoration shines brightly from our eyes when our gazes meet.
Your touch still brings me to life. 
The gruffness your voice has acquired with age,
Still, after all of these years, 
Comforts my soul. 
Soft kisses from your lips
Still erase my every thought.
Your arms still remain the only true home 
I have ever known. 
You have always been my treasure,
My ataraxis. 
The very last breath I take

Will be used to whisper words of love to you.

Chastised

-
Feeling your arms wrap around me. Making the choice to steal a few selfish seconds for myself To forget about everything but the feel of you surrounding me. Ensconced in the dream that I am finally yours. Truly living the life I ache for, if only for a moment. Experiencing a quiet bout of euphoria. The feeling of elation slowly dying as  I am faced with unequivocal proof  That I am not yours.  Remembering why I do not allow myself to truly get lost in your arms. My mind whispering that I knew better. That I knew, to let go was to hurt. My heart quiets to a slow, lethargic rhythm,  Thoroughly chastised until the next time.

Idle Comfort

-
Daydreaming lazily... Idly caressing your skin Soft, slumberous kisses As we drift along the fringes of sleep.  Your rumbling voice talking quietly  And the softness of your chest hair tickling my cheek Threading my fingers through Yours... Feeling the capable strength of your hands... Yet knowing how gently you handle my fragile soul.. A quiet pride for the  Amazing man that you are lingers in my mind. Smiling gently up at you As your words drift off to nothing... Cuddling my sleeping angel closer.  My own heaven on Earth.

Fateful Heart

Fateful Heart   What cruel trick is this.. to love and not receive? To reach for and never touch? Fate wields her spiteful power with an uncaring flick of wrist; and goes about her duty with nary a backward glance. "What of me?", I cry! "Is my pain unworthy of your notice?" "Does my heart's blood upon the floor not garner your attention?" Yet she strolls on, ever the cruel mistress.  I languish here in agony, bereft and alone... Until life wanders past and admonishes, "Come, you must journey on."
