August 18, 2014

I met him

A man I knew before

And missed instantly 

He returned

To claim me, it seems

A few hours tap dancing around the subtlety

But bold enough to make my "Master" work for it

He keeps confidence for a living

And it's my instant belief in him

That confuses me still

I'd regret if it ends abruptly

He called me ‘Ki’ after the first day

Unaware that he was the dawn to the sunset in my eyes 

Unaware that the thought of his disappearance anytime soon 

became the rope around my neck

 

He is the notary who respects honesty

The irony ...lol

The passionate son of the soil of song and poetry...

The one who is sentimental and wrapped up in melodies untold ...

The ones he wrote ...The ones unheard and unsung ...

And I wait for the day he sings them for me...

On a fairytale wedding day

The loyalty I would pledge to him...

It's unbelievable

And I only met him yesterday

If I loved you

My last breath would be a tribute to your existence

I’d let you build tree houses in different parts of me

Let my tears rain on your wounds to heal them

If I loved you enough

I’d levitate the grace of the 19th century for refined sophistication is the only aura worthy to line the table at which we feast on desire

If I loved you enough I’d let you act your frustrations on my delicate emotions

And award you with trophies of kisses

Fold your secrets neatly and keep them in my vault, only to be worn when we meet

Because together we are free to be ourselves, beautifully, sinfully

If I loved you enough, I’d slay your enemies

I’d forgive you always

I’d reach within the depths of my vulnerability and paint you a naked me  to hang on the walls of truth

If I loved you enough , I’d grind the stars to dust and mix them with the rarest orchids to paint the path upon which you must walk , a pathway fit for a king , my king,

If I loved you enough I’d negotiate with death to take me first if ever it is written that you should pass before me

Mortality is aimless without you

But I don’t love you enough, my darling

I love you more ….

Too good to be true

It was a kiss that reached into my inner being

Undressed my soul

Stirred peace of mind

In fact,

It was a kiss that became the fireplace to the cold within

It was no longer a world I controlled

He went to war gracefully with my fears

Dethroned uncertainty

Massaged wounds

Made me complete

He claimed every atom of the electricity that sparked within

He owned me with every touch

Unconditionally

Without regrets

Regardless

What I wouldn’t do for you …

How it hurts to even contemplate the thought of losing you to another

Everything I’ve done since August 18 was with you in mind

To you I’m bound

Buried alive

16 feet under love

But overflowing with joy every time I hear you name

Life has assumed a more profound meaning

Beneath the earth

To share happiness, sadness, with you behind closed doors

To be in a place where I feel more deeply, more sweetly

Life has a melody, a heartbeat when you are near

Now that you are here, how can I see me without you

It’s impossible

Your love is irreplaceable

I dare say that I am married to a part of you that is forbidden

How can I return to being helpless me

That colourless world where everything was ordinary

Now that you are here

Life is but a metaphor …a simile … an oxymoron

Literally speaking, I can share my all with you  

My senses have blossomed with the seasons of our love

What wouldn’t I do for you ?…the ordinary, the expected …

For you I will endure any challenge, waltz with any pain

Do the extraordinary and even the unexpected…..

The senses of my soul mate

He could with ease

Feel my presence in a maze of other beauties

And only yearn for me

He could fondle my weaknesses with his stare

Taste my excitement with his breath

Nurture my insecurities with his patience

Melt me with his embrace

He would hunt my jealousy and devour it with his love

My soul mate…

He would know it all

Protect, serve, love, understand, and manipulate when necessary

His caution would stand erect when near dripping tempers,

Electrocute any shadowy thoughts of past lovers with his touch

He could see through my camouflaged anger and sadness

He could see through my childish tantrums for attention

He would have no need to question when I year for him, for all that I am is his, I am his other half and he my better

He could conquer me with his senses, prince of my body,

King of my mind

My soul mate …he would be my all, after God.
