Four

In just four short hours,

You will be my wife.

Sitting on top of a mountain, 

Our suite overlooking the valley below,

And the ranges in the near distance-

I am filled with a sense of peace. 

The stars are ripping through the night sky to wish us the best,

As they will be the first witnesses of what's to come.

The wind is loud,

Dancing through the mountains I hear her song-

A strong, echoing silent song-

A dichotomy.

I take this moment in,

And feel so loved,

So seen,

So heard-

May my love for you always remember the still excitement of this moment!

You Are My Sunshine

You are my sunshine,

The light of my life,

The guiding light to my soul,

The warmth to my heart. 

There is you,

And only you-

You bring me joy on days of darkness,

Shining through clouds,

So that my path is illuminated.

I am unsure if you will ever fully comprehend, the depths of what you mean to me-

How truly,  madly, deeply I love you.

I am lucky that you choose me,

And that I get to choose you,

Each and every day.

My Sun,

My Light,

My Love-

My love for you will burn for all eternity, with a passion that is unshakable. 

In every galaxy,

And in every lifetime.

Reflection

 How lovely it is,

To has spoken words of poetry to you-

In the flesh,

Over the years,

And now-

I am writing my vows to you-

My love,

There are so many words I've  said, so many I have yet to say,

And I fear a lifetime will simply not be enough - 

I love you endlessly -

Back to writing these vows ! 

Mother Egypt, in You

I see her vast landscape,

Every time I gaze into your eyes-

I feel Her love in your embrace,

Her strength in your heart,

Her serenity in your touch;

Mother Egypt, in You.

Her joy in your laughter,

Her resilience in your determination, 

Her freedom in your smile,

And I am blessed,

Grateful,

To know Mother Egypt, through You. 

Grounding in your energy-

Lost in your seas-

Captivated by your warmth-

All that you embody,

All that you encompass,

All the light you emanate -

So beautiful,

So pure,

So wise-

She shines through you,

Each and every day-

Ingrained in your soul-

Mother Egypt, in You

Ancient Landing

 Descending with the sun,

Over the vast, Egyptian desert.
Gold rays dance on my skin through my airplane window-
The Nile weaves a song along the earth below.

Colors fading quickly,
As each moment passes-
Nearly on this ancient soil.

There is a stillness in the air
Which is void of clouds-
The land seems neverending,
And the night approaches with welcoming arms-

I feel held in this moment,
The way She holds me,
A piece of her surrounds me in a way so deep, I am at a loss of words.

Tears well in my emerald eyes with gratitude, excitement, and peace-

For the love of this land holds me,
Before I am able to dance barefoot in the dust-
And kiss the ancient Goddesses,
That guide me.

Soul to Soul

 At the end of every day when I close my eyes,

And at the start of every morning when I open them,

You are there.

You are my first thought, 

You are my last thought, 

You are my lifetimes of thoughts.

You are my subconscious thoughts,

And my dream thoughts-

You are all encompassing-

My love for you, runs deeper than any sea-

Further than any galaxy,

And beyond a single lifetime-

You are the piece of my soul that I've been searching for,

And now I am whole. 

Every quirky little idiosyncrasy,

Every question that digs deeper,

And every moment where patience is unearthed,

You are there,

With me,

Hand in hand,

Hear to heart,

Soul to soul.

Morning Ritual

 Nutty and sweet,

Smooth and hot-

Morning coffee with you is my favorite ritual-

Dark mornings,

Awake before the sun even opens her eyes,

The room around us, dimly lit as we share the couch.

My soul flows with ease,

And that first morning kiss always sets my soul on fire -

Barefoot and braless,

I can't help but sit there, and get lost in your beauty-

The most beautiful masterpiece sits right in front of me,

And that's you.

How lucky am I,

That I get to share morning coffee with you,

For the rest of our lives -
