Gratitude

I spent countless hours in search of you. I lost sleep making me befuddled I even cried. I wasn’t going to just let anyone share my bed. Then our paths traversed.

Nightly you warm my bed during these subzero temperatures. Having you around keeps me tepid as a tea that is ready to be sipped. Having you wrapped around my shivering body ahhhhh. I get angst at having to depart from you come the break of dawn.

You are dependable. Every night you spend with me, you never falter. Your touch is gentle. The way you caress every inch of me elates me immensely. Others before you tried but they were cheap imitations. There is and will always be only one you. You are real and you are mine.

I especially love it when you press yourself against my face. I don’t care that parts of you feel fuzzy. You smell amazing too. You have been in my bed many nights and I will never tire of you. You may be older but I will never replace you for I’ve grown very attached to you. I know that come summer you have to go away  but I know I will see you again come winter.

Thank you sincerely for being my warm durable comforter.

Namaste
Sincerely

Addicted

Neuronal pathways imbued with reminders.

Body quivering with contemplation of your absence.

Loud pounding from the heart to deafen all in the perimeter.

Perspiration permeating these tattered clothes.

I’m a haggard.  I’m a derelict.

I’m an addict and you my drug.

So stay.  Don’t go!!

Winter

As I walk on this barren wintry land my nose has reddened, my extremities have frost bitten and my body has become numb yet I am warmed with thoughts of you.

Thank you and namaste.

Waiting for you.

What was it about you that set my nerve endings ablaze with only a glimpse of you? What was it about you that catapulted me to another dimension every time you whispered my name?

Was it the way you walked across the room to speak to me when it could have been anyone else?  Was it the way you laughed at all my corny jokes with your eyes fully widened?  My pupils dilated as well with every consonant and every vowel you used to form a word.   A, E, I, O, U and with you it was always Y.

Why did I find it so easy to fall in love with you?  Why did you just get me like no other could?  I never had to explain myself because you could feel my pain and my joy.  You liked me and I could feel it in the confines of my being!  It was as if you and I were lovers in a past life somehow!

Why did my heart exalt with jubilee when you laid your arm  gently over my naked shoulder?  Every touch led to every kiss that answered the only question I often asked myself.  Could I love again? Did I want to?

Feeling your warmth awakened in my soul the forgotten memory of us already knowing one another. I had just met you but my soul had never forgotten you.  It was you I had been waiting for!  Perhaps other loves had failed because I had to be single to meet you.  I’m so happy!   We did it.  We finally found our way back home to one another!

But where are you right now? What is your name? Have I already met you? It’s only a dream right now but I know you are out there. I can just feel it! Please don’t wait!  Come close and whisper in my ear!  Let me feel your warmth and your touch for you know how to awaken my soul’s memories!  Come! I am waiting for you!

Sincerely

All In My Head

I haven’t been the same, since you uttered my name and now I’m going insane.  It was those words that you said.

I love you I surely do but now you left and I’m without a clue. What will I do?
Was it all in my head?

You never loved me! It was a fantasy!  Now there are tears being shed. Was it all in my head?

I still miss your lips kissing me so…
And your arms caressing me till I yelled let me go…

The highlight of my day was being with you every night.
And then you left and it wasn’t right! I cry. Was it all in my head?

Why dd you always stay through the night? Why did you always hold me so tight? Why did your eyes tell mine that you weren’t going anywhere and that we had a life to share?

I shout out that my witness is my bed but now there are just tears to be shed cause I know it was all in my head.

I actually wrote this to be lyrics for a song. What do you think? How many of us meet others that seem to just get us? We make instant bonds with them only to wake up one day and realize they have left us. I used to think there was something wrong with me but today I know that when others leave it might just mean they don’t feel worthy of the love I give them.

I know my positive attributes and what I need to work on. Sadly others just walk in a semi-comatose state, barely feeling anything and only going through motions and the minute they make a true connection they sever ties to it. They rather lose the connection early on to avoid losing the connection later on. They are lonely and look to connect but fear it at the same time. Ever wonder why some people leave their spouses when their spouses get a serious illness like cancer? Makes you think. Right? I don’t regret loving others even if at times it wasn’t returned. To quote Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poem In Memoriam:27, 1850— It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. Do you agree? Why or why not?
