I love you to depths unknown
where your fears have recessed.
When you close your eyes I want to set sail to the furthest corners of your soul.
With your breath setting us downwind.
As gentle as the nights sky
waves crash at your feet.

My love in the harshest winters I have felt a longing ache.
For years yonder
a kindling lest forgotten.
A romance begot by your absence.
The tenderness of your warm touch drifts.

Where flowers have bloomed she walks
through gardens in quiet repose.
The scent of morning dew follows her in amorevolous wonder.
I yearn for her kiss with every breath
she exhales.

Darling do not stray for the night
I am but lost in your beauty
dressed in moonlight
may our lips never part.

I wandered through the places we have come to know all these years but yet everything seems vaguely unfamiliar.
Her general fears have subsided but her kiss still feels superfluous like this moment has far exceeded both of our expectations.
And her eyes remind me of the empty highway at four am in the morning when I'm driving alone lost in my thoughts with no destination in mind.
The needle barely pushing above the designated red line but metaphorically speaking this is our relationship.
Maybe there needs to be a cliched 'Hollywood ending' but who's the intended audience?
Us or them?

Your self being moves me to a standpoint that you will never know.
When I stop to think about you it feels as if everything is new.
I want to map out every single inch of your body with my hands
to feel, to want, to know your every waking breath.
The sense of comfort you bring me God willing leaves me to wonder.
You are my saving grace.
I love you.
I want you to be my wife.
Marry me for all it's worth
for I see the world in your eyes.

This perfect morning I was in love with her dissidence but from afar.
This perfect evening she said goodbye.
And I slowly wonder how everything can be just this.
Honest.
Through the telephone I heard her say 'let me sleep..let me see tomorrow through your eyes.'
And I slowly wonder how everything can be just that.
Perfect.
