Separation Anxiety

I am in the doldrums

waiting, watching, on alert.

Holding my breath 

as I think of you. 

I can hear your voice

tell me you love me,

and I exhale slowly 

as the tightening of my chest

releases; still, I miss you.

And I want for you

to be near me 

that I can feel you again...

like in the time of our youth

when I came to you

and we began this journey.

The feeling of echoes surrounds me,

I don’t know how to describe this 

aching in my soul that longs for you.

The only homesickness I’ve known

leads me to you, I wait,

dreaming.

Beautiful

When you love me, I will be beautiful
I will flower and blossom 
and release a fragrant scent 
upon the gentle winds, like
Honeysuckle, and Gardenia blooms.
I will be beautiful if you water me
I will be pleasing to the eye
like Daisies, or a Rose,
And full of brilliant color,
when you love me, I will be beautiful.

Starshine

It could be sunshine,

that illuminates my path;

It could be moonlight,

It could be starshine

that brings me to you.

This love has its' source in you,

this veil glimpsed, thinly worn

and thoroughly penetrated

by our shining light.

We have each other here,

we have each other beyond,

and even after this disintegration

we are. 

I am a reflection of your love,

emanating like rays

from golden stars; 

and you, are the sun.

I am the Star King

and it's starshine

that brings me to you.

This love with you;

The love in you for me

focuses me to you

for no one is like you,

and there is nothing like us,

that has ever come 

from the heavens.

My path forever 

entwined with yours.

You and Me

There's just you and me,

no one else will know 

or understand

that which has passed between us.

This rare thing, this special thing,

our struggle to define an emptiness

that crept into our lives has died,

slain by the power of love;

this special thing which has shaped us

and brought us back together.

No one else can know 

the lonely nights filled with missing;

looking up at the moon

when you saw it too...

Our lives moving on, the river flowing

ever faster,

our paths getting closer

and our joy being made complete

in its fullness.

 

This Is Why

There was a gift you gave to me,

I cherish it everyday now 

that we have each other again...

I love you beyond my understanding,

you are so beautiful;

within and without,

you are my light and beacon 

shining the way in the darkness

so that I could find my way back to you;

I walk next to you now

hand in hand, complete 

unlike ever before this.

Unbound, but connected...

our frequencies, like our tendencies,

the same in so many ways,

my blood is your blood,

so this is why. 

Extra

So this is something extra,

something about me and you,

something we already knew;

dreams come true,

but I don't know why,

and I don't care,

I just know that I'm so happy

dreams come true,

and I love you.

Until

I love the way she loves me,

she listens to my heart and smiles;

she instinctively knows the secret things...

we talk, but we don't have to

because we feel it,

and it was so long we waited

for this time we always hoped for.

And now that we're here, 

it's a beautiful thing

and we hold each other closer in our hearts

until we can hold each other in our arms.
