Awakening to my
Own voice recalling
You like a
Halo spinning overhead
Hovering in space
Moments after creation
You appeared from
Behind my blind
Side my new
Moon in orbit
Circling me there
Individually you are
Distinctly created to
Be your own
Sphere yet celestially
Dancing with me
Here in the
Eons drawn to
Each other wondering
Which really is
Leading and which
One is following
What I dreamed
Happened what I
Thought I touched
What I longed
For I felt
And what I
Wished for on
All those birthday
Candles I finally
Received you see
Close your eyes
And hope for
Things really really
Do come true
And there it
Was that sigh
Escaping like a
Freed mouse from
A trap skittering
Past open lips
After our kiss
That sound of
Passion released like
A wound spring
That boing of
A jack-in-the-box surprise
It came out
Only after our
Lips met signaling
The beginning of
Something wonderfully marvelous
There is a
Peace in knowing
A calm when
Understood like a
Blanket draped over
You on a
Chilly evening or
Catching a falling
Star to be
Gotten and felt
To express and
Be intimate to
Duck ones head
Under the surface
Of affection and
Rise to kindness
This is the
Sun I bathe
In after yesterday
Your voice to
Me is like
Raindrops falling on
Leaves like snow
Swirling in wind
The clack of
Ice on windows
The whoosh of
Breezy willows the
Surprise of dancing
Disco and DeBussy’s
Lullabies I hear
You absolutely everywhere
