Her

(Sip slow
and savor)

This
Woman

I am absolutely
(Inhale)
In love
(Exhale)

She is breath

She comes in big waves
of dreams and magic
Of wind and darkness

She is peace

With her there is a
wholeness
I've never felt before

She is complete

In her presence I am weak
knees knock
hands shake
She quakes the Earth
with every step she takes
She is intent on devouring me
And
I
Am
Afraid

She is intense

Sometimes when I'm with her
I feel nausea
I'm not used to feeling this full
Not used to taut seams
Not used to the pressure of holding her within

She is vast

She is the sea I sail
And I sail alone
because she demands it so

I am an island
Isolated
It's a long swim to my shores

The water is cold so
people don't like venturing out to me
They stay at the frothy edges
of her seas
Coastlines littered with spectators who ponder

"She must be very lonely out there."

They shout to me:

"Over here! Come to us."

I don't

I don't need others as much as I need her
And I think that offends the beach goers
But I have no regrets
My love, she keeps me happy

Stingy

She wants to keep me all to herself
And I want to be kept by her
She loves me well
And I won't give her up

I always put her first
Because she is my everything
And when I take care of her
I take care of myself

I have written about many things
But she is the most important
the most inspiring
the most deserving

For the rest of my life
If it's just
me
and
her

I will have experienced all the joys and wonders a life can hold
