You are my reminder
That my soul needs more
Love
Than my body
For my red coat
I love you

Someone you’ve never met is waking in this universe
Under the same stars as
You
Ready to appreciate
The beautiful
Words
You write
Eric the Red Feb 2018
...there’s a quieter version
...of you
...that you rarely show
...to others
...but show to
...me
...each & every day
...your silhouette on Sunday
...mornings looking out the window
...you’ve made us coffee
....and your love notes
....clash with the person
....you show to everyone else
...I thank you for giving
...that side
....I shall guard it like treasure
...always on the watch
...never to be relieved
How could I ever use such beautiful words
Against
You
My fortress in the forest
Of evergreen emerald

It’ll be so wicked
Someday
To lick the juice
Of our fruited sin
Off of your chin
&
Body

I’ll plant
The Forbidden Tree
In our garden
So we can pull
The fruit
Off
Any ******* time
We please

For 3 seconds in the morning when I wake up
You’re still alive
Then I do the math in my head
And you’re not

Saw my 1st ghost at 5
My 1st crush at 10
Had my 1st kiss at 12
My 1st  ‘FIRST’ at 16
Saw my 1st dead body at 22
Waded in the Dead Sea at 23
Ate my 1st lobster tail at 24
Held my 1st born at 27
Nothing happened in my 30s
Walked away from inflicting pain
And being inflicted
By standing up for myself at 39
But 1,700 Miles Away
Is a 1st kiss I long to receive
So you can whisper
And clear my history
And we can make a longitude
Of firsts...our own
