You, My Love
I.
You
inhabit me my love
Grow
deep and young inside me
Like
a sapling
You
sink your roots
They
wander
and
wonderfully
entangle
me my love.
You
transfuse me my love
My
blood is no longer my blood
For
you are present even there
Flowing
Ebbing
Beating
Searching
out
my
innermost places my love.
You
have taken up residence my love
In
the furthest reaches
Of
the slumber of my sleep
You
run with me
Your
hand in mine
In
impossible places
In
surreal dimensions
of
my dreams my love.
You
come to me my love
A
smile that creases my face
An
echo of your joy
Surprising
me
In
the midst of my day
Memories
of you
Flash
and burn
Images
of you
flickering
and searing
across
my mind my love.
II.
You,
like a spirit my love
Like
the inside of my soul
That
I never knew
Before
you
Who
pulses now always
Inside
of me my love.
You,
embodiment of answered prayers
my
love
Extension
of grace
Shining
down upon me
Soaking
into me
Seeping
into my every thought
The
crown upon my head my love.
III.
You
are there in the morning light
my
love
In
my waking moments
I
reach for you
I
am drawn by the immeasurable gravity
Of
your love my love
Against
you
Amaranthine
rock my love.
You
infuse laughter in my life
my
love
You
peal
And
beckon me
Your
song dances
Your
voice
Clarion
Notes
floating
And
leaping
Whirling
And
washing over me my love.
You
abide restlessly in my heart my love
Always
increasing
Pushing
me further
Multiplying
passion
Never
ceasing
Insatiable
hunter
Of
my heart my love.
Always
always always my love
You
will remain the lover of my youth
As
we grow old and everything around us
decays
and rusts
For
you and I my love—nothing alters
For
you my love
Are
Beauty, eternally defined
Tattooed
kisses accumulating
overlapping
everlasting
Across
the story of my life my love.
IV.
You:
the radiant carrier of life my love
Your
belly swollen and growing
Your
face beaming and golden
You,
emerging and evolving
Into
an even higher form of beauty
Me,
falling deeper and deeper into you
You,
Possessor of generations, my love.
You: succor, nourisher and protector,
Our babies cling to you
Like vines they surround and grow to you.
Pillar of strength and zenith of grace
Your love refuses to ebb and only grows
Washing over, sustaining, and imbuing protection
You are the sun and your gravity immense
Pulling us deeper into the chasms—of your love,
Mother
and lover of our children my love.
You: a
beauty infinitely transcendent.
With the
dawn of each day
I open my
eyes to see:
Your eyes
sparkling
Ever
richer and deeper sapphires and emeralds.
A smile
that launches my heart aloft
A kiss
that arrests my very soul
Fingertips
whose winding paths
Smolder and
singe and ignite
My lover,
my wife, my muse
for whom
my love today eclipses yesterday’s
but which
falls immeasurable short,
of my
love with each day’s dawn.
You
my love
Are
me
And
I
am
you.
We.
my
love.
We.
