In Awe

 A softness overcomes me in each moment I'm near you,

Each moment I hear your voice.

I can exhale and simply be.

It is such a beautiful experience,

To explore you, to consume you, and to truly feel you. 

It's like discovering the best hidden gems in a new place.

You open up my soul in a way which is soothing, reassuring, and comforting- 

I float on clouds of bliss as you hold me.

The smallest things throughout the day, now, remind me of you.

When I cook, I wish I were cooking for you.

When I listen to music, I wish you were with me dancing and singing. 

When I crawl into bed, I wish you were playfully pulling me close.

The journey continues to intrigue me,

I am enticed by your laughter, your heart and your soul. 

I crave the exploration of you, the way I crave sunlight. 

So, 

I take step after step,

Slowly uncovering the curves of the trail,

That will lead us to our destination-

Trusting the ground beneath my feet, the stars that guide me, and my intuition-

I will navigate the night with grace,

And watch the sunrise kiss the morning dew.

And just like I am with you, I'll be in awe.

Melting

 Last night,

Our bodies melted into one-

We created a masterpiece with our moans and sighs of pleasure,

Strokes of indigo and midnight blue, crashing onto a blank canvas.

Your skin against mine,

Leaving no space for anything but pure ecstacy.

I saw all that the stars and moon wanted to offer me last night.

As I captured your breath with my lips, your hips on my hips, and your kisses buried in my neck, I drowned in your beautiful sea of curls.

Your passion engulfed me, as I slipped toward the edge of oblivion, allowing myself to get lost, and offering all of myself to you. 

I want you to take all of me,

Devour every last inch,

Consume my soul and let me give you life.

I need to get drunk on your love as we spill over in orgasm together, losing sight of everything but the expansion of the universe.

Give in to the ebs and flows, that pull us together like tides to a shore, on a full harvest moon.

Let me sow seeds of admiration, adoration, and care- I'll water them with starlight I've saved in my soul, and sprinkle them with sunshine I've captured in my eyes.

Melt into me, again and again, until we've lost count of our heartbeats and passing minutes.

Let's continue create this beautiful journey, day by day.

Step One

 A timeline shifted the moment I saw you for the first time,

I can't quite explain it, but I can try.

It's like the Matrix faded, now, layers of complex beauty being exposed underneath.

Every moment since then has led to catalyst after catalyst-

This journey slowly unfolding before my eyes.

My world has slowed down.

Moments becoming longer so that I can fully digest them-

Each one, more tantalizing than the last.

I breathe you in and explore the ever intricate mosaic that is your soul.

Each piece delicately placed with purpose and poise.

When I am not with you, I long for your embrace, the warmth of your energy. 

Please save it up for me, so I can submerge myself in it the instant I'm with you again.

I scan pages written by dead poets to identify this feeling, and while some come close, I'm convinced not one has truly experienced that of which I feel. 

It's more electric than lightening striking sand-

More deadly than a typhoon-

More dainty than a newly sprouted sunflower-

It gets me higher than any drug, and feels better than any lust-

It grounds me more than settled dust.

An adventure that I must,

Embark on.

I simply need to see how deep this river runs,

Experience the warmth of the summer sun,

See how far I can take it,

All while having fun.

And,

Here we are,

At step one.

Sleepy Mornings

 You are as beautiful as a slow, sleepy morning- 

Cuddled in bed, as I kiss down your spine; watching the small movements you make. My fingers exploring every inch of you. 

Making you coffee as you rest your eyes and bringing it to you as you slowly wake -

Allowing the sun to peek through drawn curtains, so that we can gently greet the day, together. 

Your beautiful curls caressing your face, with such grace - and angel right in front of my own eyes.

I could get lost in your beauty, and the warmth of the mornings we share. 

Tangled in Egyptian cotton, getting lost as our bodies merge and souls collide.  

I'd take my coffee with a side of you every day, if I could 

Poetic Imprint

 You embody the poetry that drips from my tongue, to my pen, then onto my pages-

Exploring every corner like a dimly lit hallway I'm enticed down.

My body buzzes with feelings of euphoria, as everything slowly unfolds.

I devour the feeling and quench this need for discovering all of you.

There is something so beautiful about really digesting each moment as it breathes life.

I soak it up, trying to imprint your energy into mine- so that I never forget.

I could never forget you, and I truly hope there's not a day that I'll even have to try to.

You are so familiar yet intriguing - like, I already know you, but I'm learning every thing about you as each second ticks by.

I'm enjoying every minute of it, savoring it like your kiss on my lips.

A chrysalis cracks open to unveil the endless possibilities of what could be, what should be, what will be. 

It's like a universe is being born right before our eyes- swirls of stardust keep us coming back consistently to watch the tango it does.

Delicate and strong, our energies merge- slowly fading the lines of where one begins and the other ends. I want to melt into you so that you can taste the intricacies of my heart and soul.

Here I am,

Here I'll wait-

Patiently,

Because I know in divine timing we will be;

Exactly where we're meant to be. 

For now, I enjoy the journey- as I will for each one we'll take. Every twist, every turn, every new adventure and place discovered.

This slow dance with you has been so peaceful, calming and playful- my heart is full of the purest cut bliss. 

I couldn't come down from this high, if I tried.

Hopes

Your sweetness permeates my soul,

Like a monsoon rain, does a barren valley.

I can't help but notice the petrichor,

And I'm instantly transported to the feeling of "home"

I take you in, like I'm enjoying this experience for the very first time, every time.

I don't ever want to miss a moment, so I try my best to not blink.

I could soak in your radiance for endless days, and still crave more-

It seems, you bring out the best in me.

I love myself when I'm with you; I feel the most authentic.

It's like hiding my quirks is no longer an option- you simply love my weird, and I want to share it with you. 

There is a list of endless memories I want to create with you, so let me list a few: 

I want to dance in a rainstorm, barefoot on the asphalt, on a hot summer day with you.

I want to experience the mundane of traveling with you- something as simple as falling asleep on your shoulder on a plane... While, simultaneously seeing the world.

I want to take a roadtrip with you, and get lost because we were singing out hearts out to early 2000s music and getting caught up in lyrics and laughter.

I want to kiss you on a train, in a city, and feel the people around us melt away, because in that moment all I feel is you.

I want to take you to Flekkefjord and show you where the mountains meet the sea. I'll take your hand and walk you to the edge, to show you just how beautiful you truly are, with your reflection.

I want to pick sunflowers with you in the spring and apples with you in the fall.

I want you to meet my dad, my brother, and my step-mom - I'm sure you'd win them over instantly with your charm and pure heart.

I want to cook for you, and take care of you, in all of the ways your heart desires... and then some. 

The list goes on, but I'll hold other hopes close. 

So for now, I'll bask in the moment, and be open to whatever may come our way.
