Casual Kind of Love

Can you believe it wasn’t that long
ago when we first met, and nervously
said hello, and how are you, and the
unnecessary small talk and jokes to calm
a nervous stomach? Now we’re old friends 
like we’ve known each other our whole
lives, and I am completely comfortable with
you, like we always belonged together.

Truest Of All

Forsaking your own desires and never
Regretting the sacrifices you’ve made
In sharing your time, in sharing your life, 
Every joy, and every sorrow, my
Never-ceasing steadfast companion, 
Daring the world to do its worst.

Carefully

I knew this day would come, a 

Grand and glorious day when 
In a moment of cautious and
Very careful deliberation with
Emotions reigned in just as

Much as I possibly could I
Yielded to the voice in my 

Head, the one that told me how
Everything was as it should be
And now was the moment, the
Right time, to do what I had
Thought and planned so 

Thoroughly for. And I knew the
Only thing stopping me was

Yesterday’s mistakes, and now
Only tomorrow matters, and
Unrestrained, I yielded.

Consumed

Only the touch of your lips on my skin, the
Very whisper of your breath upon me, is
Enough to send my frantic fevered mind
Reeling into the highest realms of a
Wonderful euphoric sense of glorious
Heaven on earth. My lips yearn for yours and my
Eyes close in bliss as you show me how you
Love me. My heart burns within my chest as 
My skin tingles with the thrill of pure
Ecstasy; and I know in that moment, I would
Do anything for you; for I lose myself in you.

Elevated

Your strong arms showed me the
Only way to succeed was to not
Underestimate myself but rather

Listen to the criticism of others when
Inside it hurts to hear, and though I
Feel ruined and worthless, I should
Take those words and with them
  
Make a new beginning, to build an
Escape from my sorrow and rise above,

Unrestrained, to soar with the eagles
Protected always by your love.

Forgotten

Far away across the distance of
A pitch-black moonless night my
Days of laughter and joy have 
Ended and I am left alone -
Destitute, devoid, defeated

My weary mind tries to
Escape the slow progressive
Marching of time and his 
Overpowering ability to 
Remove from me every 
Image, thought, and idea that
Ever filled my heart with your
Slowly slipping, saintly soul

Friend

Caught in troubled times, when the
Only hope I have grows dim and
My eyes begin to close in defeat, my
Passion to live grows cold until
A whispered word, a subtle
Nudge of a soft forgiving hand
In mine, the gentle touch that could
Only be given by the truest
Noblest of all relationships

Forever

Escaping from my earthly
Troubles and cares, I
Enter a place free from the ever-present
Restraints of space and time, and I
Need nothing but your love;  
I am sustained by you - there is no
Time when you are in my arms, 
You are my seconds, my minutes, my days.

Remember

On this bright and sunny morning I
Need to stop to try and
Clear my mind of anything and
Everything that weighs me down for

Underneath this smiling exterior a
Pensive and thoughtful soul lies
Open…and slightly mournful and
Nobody knows it but me

A

Thought flickers through my mind and
I think back to those days when
My inner hidden person was as
Ebullient as this beautiful day

Rainfall

Pause to think about the
Events of your life; breathe;
Nothing else matters as you 
Sit and ponder the beauty found
In this moment when the
View out your window reflects
Everything inside your heart
