Brick by Brick

 Brick by brick-

Building a foundation,

Made from love, and trust-

Honesty and true concern for the other's emotions and well being.

It is beautiful,

We etch our names with iron knives,

Encompassed by a heart

We listen, 

And navigate- each task together,

The perfect pair,

A give and take-

Every brick laid with intention,

The mortar filling each crevice,

Leaving no space for the elements to claw at. 

It starts out slow,

But before we know it, we're building walls-

Not the kind that need to be torn down,

But the kind that create support for our growing journey. 

We work sunrise to sunset,

Building and sharing laughter as we do-

A masterpiece we are crafting,

With both ease and grit.

As time passes, the roof gets finished,

Supported by the walls and foundation,

It protects us from any storms we may weather together. 

When we step outside, and take a few steps back,

To examine our work,

We are in awe-

We had no idea this whole time, 

We were not only building a home,

But a castle-

One with such grandeur we can barely believe our eyes

We created this,

Through blood, sweat and tears-

Endless nights melding into one,

The synchronicities as our guide-

They mapped out every placement,

Every corner,

Every window,

Every wall

And we are left with something so magnificent, we can barely believe our eyes.

So with gratitude, we whisper to the universe, that we will care for it and fill it with such joy, that the walls will sing for centuries after us. 

Revel

 Another night,

Talking for hours,

About how we would raise our kids...

Seeing eye to eye,

Paired with compromise-

What a beautiful discussion.

A dream slowly unfolding- 

I giggle as a smile graces my lips.

We are wild, and I love it.

Only Goddess knows where this journey will take us,

And there is absolutely no rush-

We've fallen into this beautiful rhythm that works for us-

An eb and flow,

Complimented with passion and desire. 

I hear it in your voice,

You are slowly beginning to relax,

To exhale-

It is such a beautiful thing to observe. 

I'm sorry that all of the women before me left you with scars and bruises,

I promise to tend to them with love and care.

I'll be gentle as I examine each one, and kiss away the pain-

I'll be patient as the hurt and confusion fade-

I'll show you what love and freedom mean, and how the balance will make you thrive! 

I want to watch you blossom into your fullest potential,

Like a sunflower opens towards the sun,

I hope you'll continue to open up to me.

The sparkle in your eyes, as you look into mine, sets fire to my entire being.

I will crave this feeling for an eternity, 

So please, stay. 

Make yourself at home in my arms. 

I truly believe we've attracted one another, 

Manifested what we have,

Here and now. 

Gratitude isn't a strong enough word for the experience of exploring and building something with you. 

If you could bottle up bliss, 

Taste it,

Smell it,

Hear it,

Feel it,

Embody it-

Take it, then add copious amount of sunshine-

Topped with the warmth of a blazing fire, 

And the peace of a still Spring night-

It would begin to scratch the surface of what this experience has felt like-

There is simply so much depth to it, that the English language cannot capture-

All I can do is revel in it.

Until The Time Is Right

 It's the phone call movie dates,

The late night phone sex,

Video chatting so we can be present while we tell one another exactly how and when to get off-

Then falling asleep on the phone,

Only to wake up to the sound of the other peacefully stirring, the next morning-

It's moments like these that make me fall deeper, 

That captivate me,

That set my soul on fire-

Watching us unfold, 

And bring out the best in one another,

Has been such a magnetic sight and electric feeling. 

I explore parts of you that no woman has, while you explore parts of me I've tucked away and have never shown another. 

Turning corners to find another hidden gem, within your soul-

As you expose all of my potential and call me out for hiding it.

You tell me there is something you want to say, as your smile beams -

"When the time is right"

I beg playfully, knowing in my heart that I already innately know-

And you assure me, that when you finally do say it, I will know it was exactly what you were talking about. 

We have those things,

Those moments-

Where we see a glimpse into our future and the rest of the world melts away. 

I eagerly, yet patiently wait-

Because I know the day is just on the horizon-

So I'll watch every sunset followed by sunrise,

Until the time is right.

1 Beautiful Soul

A laugh I can't get enough of,

A smile that captures my heart,

A gentle touch that makes my body weak,

Kisses that are sweeter than honey.

Your nuturing energy,

Your beautiful eyes,

The magic we make when our bodies meet,

Your adventurous spirit.

Your passionate, fiery, soul,

Our early mornings,

Our gym dates,

Your philosophy on the greater picture of life.

Your intelligence and longing to learn,

The loving relationship you have with your family,

Your disciplined nature-

The thoughtfulness you exude. 

Your competitive edge,

The way you pull me close as we sleep,

The electric, magnetic, and expansive sexual chemistry we share,

Your sensitive heart,

Your logic,

Your bouncing curls,

Our deep conversations,

The future we continue to build and explore.

I could list 24 more,

A hundred times over,

But I'll save those for when I'm in your arms again.

My beautiful muse,

The woman who leaves me wanting more- 

You are a gem, 

That I promise to cherish, like there is no end.

Extraordinary Calm

 You bring my soul peace,

It is quite simple,

Yet extraordinary. 

When my mind gets consumed with the realities of the world,

You always know how to ground me,

Bring me down,

Calm the noise.

This is something I've been searching for,

And here you are- 

Embodying it.

As each day passes,

I'm more convinced, 

You are what I've been looking for,

What my heart has needed,

What my soul has craved.

I float down this river with you,

And the world melts away-

We build bonds, while sharing dreams-

We get lost, together, and it is intoxicating.

You've found me.

Thank you for that.

Thank you for following the pull- 

Thank you endlessly.

Soon

 Can you feel the tug through the miles, 

That separate?

The bond that grows stronger, 

Each time we part ways?

Despite minutes and miles,

We find a way,

To grow,

To blossom,

With each passing day.

Of all of the souls, that travel this Earth,

Yours has captivated mine,

And for what it's worth,

I am bound,

To you-

To find out where this goes.

Your beauty eminates from your soul,

Outwards,

Radiates,

And glows,

For now, 

I am missing your fingers between mine.

The taste of your kiss,

Your body pressed against mine,

But we have time.

To grow, to learn, to laugh, and to explore- one another,

Let me be the support you need,

When your eyes are tired, and your soul feels weak-

Embrace all that I have to offer, 

In my comfort and love.

Let me be your soft place to land, 

When the world feels too much.

I gaze out over this lake, 

The clouds choking the sun- 

And I whisper, to the universe that there is only One,

Who I long for, and you are Her.

I imagine the laughter we could share in this house, 

As you meet my family- and melt into the flow so effortlessly.

In time, 

I know.

I trust.

You are worth the wait,

The adventure,

The journey.

The gratitude I feel when I am in your arms,

Is like I've lived a million lifetimes right, and am finally being rewarded-

Because, how could I possibly have found you?

Rather, you found me- 

But it's all the same in the end.

I find warmth at the thought of you,

Find peace in your voice, 

Find magic in your touch.

I long to be in your arms again-

Soon.

Slip Up

 The slip,

From your lips,

Those three words,

Just flowed,

Like a river,

With ease-

Then collective laughter,

Making light-

Knowing the timing...

But we both know,

We are both falling-

Undeniable. 

And I love the absolute rush of it all.

Baby Freya

 You,

Quick with your words- 

So powerful, 

So bold-

You playfully talk about our "what could be" future-

Passion in your voice as you say you're going to "wife me up" when I rub your shoulders after a long day, when I cook for you, when I make any house you step into feel like a home.

Today you called me and told me how you thought about my dreams of my daughter- the beautiful little girl with bouncing curls... 

The one who is not yet earthside, but lingers in the spirit realm waiting for the right time to make her appearance. 

You always love when I share those dreams with you. I watch your face light up with intrigue - your eyes starry, and energy soft. Your voice excited and welcoming for the details.

Today you suggested how beautiful our child would be- Egyptian, Norwegian and Italian-

Honestly, a little Goddess waiting to be created.

You joked we could name that child with an "Egyptian Viking name" 

As I drifted back to sleep after that conversation,  another dream,

This one planted by your words.

A park, 

A winding concrete path lined with beautiful green trees,

Birds chirping...

And you... with my daughter, holding her hand, walking in front of me.

The feelings: pure happiness & a sense of family.

Both of you with curls bouncing as you laughed and talked to her,

She was about five years old.

They say that words are powerful manifestations, and dreams can be prophetic- and to be completely honest, if this is the way everything unfolds, I have no doubt in my soul the journey would be beautiful. 

It's fun to daydream about - who knows! 

Chess

 Chess is a game best played at a slow pace,

Meticulously calculating,

Each

And

Every

Move.

The Queen,

The most powerful in her stance,

Has full autonomy to move as she pleases,

Taking out anyone in her way,

With absolute grace.

Watch her patiently waiting as rooks and knights dance around her,

The Bishop thinks she's sharp,

She acts fast, but often fumbles-

Revealing her next move prematurely.

She focuses on the pawns in here foresight-

Instead of the journey itself.

Her number one weakness-

Unlike the Queen who views the board from above-

A divine sight.

The dance is beautifully dangerous,

Such as life itself-

It requires a still power of the mind,

While flowing with creativity.

It's won simply by thinking ten steps ahead,

But often lost by swift and anxious faults.

So,

The Queen sits in wait, 

Obstacles simply falling to the wayside-

Knowing all will be revealed. 

And all of a sudden,

You're exposed-

Bare and unable to hide behind a thing.

The King - a death wish granted.

Patience is the ultimate key,

Check Mate.

Unseen Heaven

 The levels of ecstacy that we reached last night,

All night,

Took me to a Heaven I've never seen-

Your closeness, your breath on my neck, 

And the gentle, loving kisses in between.

Galaxies undressed before us.

We ripped open the roof to let the stars watch our magic-

As clouds danced a tango with the moon.

Songs of electric chemistry coursed through our veins, as our hearts synchronized in rhythm. 

A passion so fierce not a single soul would understand-

And I'm not sure I'd want them to.

What we have is sacred,

Beautiful and intriguing. 

A journey being built brick by brick, 

And we are the creators,

The artists.

Wrap me in your gentle love, 

While pushing the boundaries of our playful lust-

Such an exquisite balance we've found.  

Sophisticated, yet it comes so naturally-

You are the flame that ignites this knowing inside of my soul-

We are right where we are meant to be,

On Our journey,

With one another-

Cheers to the next chapter babe.

Conversation with God

 I talked to God today,

And I told her about your eyes,

Your gentle touch, your careful whispers, the magic between your thighs-

I talked to God today,

Sang songs I wrote for you,

She let me spill my poems, 

And share memories of us two.

I talked to God today,

I swear her smile, just like yours

I showed her all our pictures,

And share our inner wars.

I talked to God today,

I asked her how she came,

To create such a vibrant soul,

And place her in my way. 

I talked to God today,

She told me that you shine,

Pure alchemy had made you,

Maybe one day you'll be mine-

I talked to God today,

And I captured every word-

She said you're meant to thrive and blossom, 

Far beyond this world.

I talked to God today,

I inquired about your light-

She told me she placed it deep within,

With few, you'd shine it bright

I talked to God today,

And I thanked her for your life,

You've brightened mine,

And opened up,

My heart, a flame ignites.

Journey to The Shores

 You make life brighter,

I catch myself singing to hummingbirds more,

Craving my bare feet in the grass again, 

Whispering to stars as the moon dances across the night sky. 

I am simply returning back to my truest nature,

And your energy has allowed me to do so. 

You make me feel safe, calm, heard, and seen.

Your reassurance comes naturally and your ability to communicate and navigate is unmatched. 

Something we both appreciate and need.

I embrace the cool spring breeze flowing through my home, 

It kisses me awake with the sunshine that peeks through my bedroom window. 

My soul truly at peace, finding absolute alchemy in everything I see and touch-

The magic is real and alive. 

You've reminded me that home is where my heart is-

It is something I carry within my soul to every corner of the Earth I explore and uncover.

It is a feeling I want to share with you, will you let me?

Naked and vulnerable you tend to all of my scars with curiosity and care-

You listen and never judge,

You hold me with such delicate intent, that at times, I feel like the most fragile rose that could never be destroyed. 

I long to do the same for you.

I want to remind you of the parts of yourself you love most-

I want to shed light on all of your most beautiful traits, and hold a mirror to your soul so you can see them and love them.

Your tender, kind heart

Your inquisitive mind

Your deep rooted joy for life and the laughter that comes with it

Your passion to explore and wander and thrive

Take my hand,

Let's skip stones on foreign riverbeds, 

Dance barefoot on ancient moss-

Howl at the moon from the depths of our wild instincts, then lay on our backs in the grass and laugh at what we've just done.

Let's have affogato on the shores of Sicily, and sip tea on the Gulf-

Let's share a pear cider on a bustling street in Oslo,

Let's have fresh sushi in a mom & pop restaurant down an alley Tokyo.

Let me take you to the shores I grew up on, salt water in my wavy blonde hair- so we can watch the sunrise over the ocean.

Then take me to the shores of your fondest memories- I want to know where your curls bounced as you ran as a wild child.

I want to share everything with you,

Past, present and future-

I want to show you what my life was like, see what yours was like, enjoy what we have now, and explore what will become. 

The excitement makes my heart race in the most elegant and anticipatory way.

Then I remind her to enjoy the moment, and my goodness, when she does- it is pure bliss.

Thank you, 

For simply being you.

For sharing what you have,

And what you will.

Thank you,

For receiving what I have to offer with such warmth and grace.

Grave Digger

 You lurk in the shadows,

Of the nearest graveyard-

Inhibitions lost,

And mind playing my words on repeat.

Words that you have tried to decipher,

Yet can only clumsily put the pieces together,

Like a toddler fumbling with blocks.

Your lack of self-control is unmatched,

As you spiral at the sight of me,

At the sound of my name,

At the thought of who you've made me to be in your head-

But darling, you are clueless.

You search for a grave with my name etched in stone,

Efforts for minutes, hours, days and weeks-

Yet, you can't find my bones-

So you get down on your hands and knees,

Clawing at the dirt, and screaming at oak trees,

Asking yourself "How could this be me?"

Well, let me tell you babe-

It's your failed fantasy.

You see the mind is a powerful thing,

And yours seems to have lost its way-

An obsession you can't seem to break,

But it breaks you, as you chip away

At your own damn heart.

A cold heart at that,

I've heard the stories-

The sadness,

You did all of that. 

Your hands are covered in dirt,

Nails bleeding at the beds-

Scrapes on your knees, 

Trouble catching your breath.

And just when you thought,

You had nothing left-

A shovel is handed to you from over your head-

Your smile creeps up,

Your evil sets in-

"I'll bury this bitch"

Your sick urge to win.

So you grab the handle and slowly stand up-

Start to dig,

Not giving a fuck,

About who handed you this shovel,

You couldn't care less-

So you dig and you dig,

Until there's a seven foot depth-

A sweat on your brow, 

You're proud of yourself,

For digging this hole-

 and dancing in hell

Then comes the moment you finally see,

I handed you the shovel,

All along, it was me. 

Blood drains from your face,

Words escape from your lips-

You look down once more,

And see the headstone just sits

Above the grave you just dug,

And spelled out in grey-

Your name clearly there-

You try wiping away.

But babe, I hate to break it to you-

It's all set in stone.

Our destiny's made, 

From stardust and bones-

When we meddle with ill intention,

It comes back tenfold.

So you dug your own grave,

I helped you bury your bones.

Morning Delight

 She is the sweet morning kisses on my forehead,

The gentle back tickles as I rest my eyes,

The tight squeeze to pull her body into mine...

She is my morning delight

Insatiable

 I have this insatiable appetite for you,

All of you.

The sleepy, messy and passionate morning sex,

The playful neck bites,

The inquisitive nature of your questions and the attentiveness as I answer. 

Your beautiful tigers eye gaze, and your soft rose lips. 

The "can't get enough of you"s and inability to consume one another in excess...

Because babe, we are never too much-

I can't fathom how I've gone decades without knowing your soul-

Having you drop into my life has been the most beautiful blessing;

And now-

I can't imagine a day without hearing your voice or a week without feeling your touch.

The more you unravel and expose your twists and turns, the more I catch myself falling-

The most beautiful tail spin,

My hands thrown above my head, throwing caution to the wind as I give you the wheel.

It's the moments where we are thinking the exact same thing and literally catch ourselves speaking the same words-

You are in my head,

I beg you to make yourself at home.

Your tender aura engulfs me,

And mine, you.

I'm so lost in you, and I hope there's no way out.

Kinky Love

 I need a kinky love,

The kind that wakes up to back rubs and neck kisses,

Followed by moans captured by gasping lips.

One that jams to music on a long drive,

Then sudenly pulls over for a backseat fuck.

Finger fed taste tests, of what's for dinner- lips meeting fingers; that turns into ball gags and blindfolds. 

Give me that kinky love,

At the cinema holding hands and watching films, then going home to make our own.

The type that basks in the sun, no words spoken, simply soaking up the heat-

Bodies meeting, warmth ignited

The kind that makes sure you're hydrated throughout the day, and makes you soaked at the raise of a brow.

Give me the ultimate kinky love.

Get lost in my eyes,

Slip up and call me "baby", 

Then tell me I'm a "dirty girl"

The kind that holds you (and fucks you) as you sleep, 

Fulfilling fantasies.

Drink me up, my kinky love.

5:30am

 Early mornings,

Sleepy kisses,

Back rubs,

Morning sex-

Lose our breath,

Just before you have to leave for work.

My favorite.

Early mornings,

"Good morning beautiful" texts,

Tired phone calls,

All just to hear one another's voice-

Wishing we were next, 

To one another-

Talking about dreams,

Dreaming about us,

Craving your lust,

When I'm not with you.

Hoping that your day,

Is just as wonderful as you.

You & I

 Consume me like a flame does gasoline, 

Leave nothing left but ash and smoke-

Fill the night sky with the blaze you set,

As my heart is on fire for you. 

The beauty in all that you do,

Your touch, your kiss, the whispers that escape your lips- 

Envelope me in your gentle yet ravishing candor.

Each moment with you is an adventure of a lifetime, and I can't wait explore what the future holds. 

You cradle me in your arms, kissing my forehead, and gazing into my eyes like you've found a lost treasure along the ocean's shore-

But, little do you know, I'm the one who has discovered this gem-

Stunning, and one of a kind,

Precious, so damn precious, I want to make it mine-

And keep it safe,

Keep you safe-

Show you love in ways you've never experienced,

Bring peace to your chaos, and laughter in moments of silence. 

Sharing ever growing warmth, and hopes allows us to truly dive in deep- 

You are such a beautiful soul,

The brightest star among galaxies, for ions. 

I encapsulate this feeling, and will water it so it thrives-

So we thrive,

You and I.
