I pause, now
At the edge of sleep
To inhale your soul
To breathe you deepTo live, to love
And in loving, recall
As you’re my air
You’re also my allTo come to me
In raging storm
To turn us into we
In corporeal formTo live, to love
And in loving, see
That you are where
I’m meant to be.
We sat next to each other one afternoon,
you reaching for my fingertips, and I for yours.
Your fingers curved around mine in a soft hello.You spoke softly, a few words at a time.
I replied with a sigh, some laughter.A friend passed by and we stopped.
We looked at each other, our fingers…
Dear You,
.-.-.
No matter where you are or
what you are doing, please know;
even in my absence, I will
always be with you, within you,
around you.
I am the summer sun, caressing
your cheeks with warming hands.
I am the first drop of rain that
falls upon your skin in liquid kisses.
I am the slightest of breezes that
ruffles your hair with invisible fingers.
The next time you leave you home
and feel like you have forgotten
something, think of me, thinking
of you.
.-.-.
Eternally yours
Chris
Kissing you awake this morning
I was going for charming and cleverBut once again, I could only say
I love you today, I’ll love you foreverGuilty as charged, I’m hopelessly yours
though I tried to resist, I won’t denyI vowed that I was through with love
I just couldn’t make my heart comply…
