I crave what I see in my mind
The future I have constructed
I see a messy bed and the rising sun
Bare legs peeking out from wrinkled sheets
Our love written in every crease
Evidence is ever present
I see hands sliding
Fingers tracing
Mouths speaking with no words
But still
The message is received
I see open windows letting in the breeze
Sparkling lights in the distance
The moon yearning to feel our love
Perched above
I see my breath
The cold night air engulfing me
Though never reaching my heart
I’m warmed indefinitely by the love at my side
I see my hand on a soft chest
Discovering, for the first time, acceptance and
Freedom
The only things I’ve ever wanted
I see the world in a new way
Each night is a new city
But happiness never sleeps
Life never rests it’s weary head
Neither do we
I see summer
Flowers sway with our whispers
Sunlight sings it’s song on your shoulders
I kiss and reminisce…
I see turmoiled oceans
As we drive down winding pathways
Atop cliffs
High as kites
I see convertibles and buses
Afghans and kaftans
Guitars and bonfires and sand covered bodies
Psalms of palms that sway in the west coast wind
I see beads in my hair
Fringe on my sweaters
Rings on my fingers
Jewels on my brow
I see you in our makeshift home
Sitting cross legged in briefs
Your back to me; face to the ocean
Painted gold by the suns halcyon kiss
I see undying allegiance
To freedom in its freest form
No red white and blue
But the sun, me and you
I see clearly in this still silence
No fear here, only peace
And I have you by my side
To keep me safe from solace
