This one was written when I was asked what 'I wanted life to be'

In my mind I see it how I wish it will always remain,
My conscious comprehending what must be
If our dreams are to touch that which they promise.
I hope that the eyes that stare back daily from the mirror
Are ever clear, alive with the starlit reflection of you
And not blunted or dulled or filled with a sadness
That we do not deserve nor look for.
I want so much for the laughter to be ribald
And hearty, and everything that you make it
With every cherished smile and winsome wink that
Graces your adorable face.
The nights, they are to be long, languid and lustrous -
Here is where we will drift from what is real and
Pass into our time, our place
Helter-Skelter and dizzy, and full of passion.
Night ending late we will find our days,
And these I determine will be short when we must be parted
But so long and full of rapture when the Gods allow us
To spend them where we belong - locked in a clinch
That never tarnishes nor fades.
I ask for, pray for, wish for nothing less than a pool
Of wonder that is endless, a well that cannot run dry,
A magic that amazes more as days pass by,
And is made of that which defies belief and is never
A parlour trick or a slight of hand (as graceful and perfect as that hand may be).
I ask for much I sometimes think, but then I remember
That in you I have all this and more
And the thoughts of what must be are softened into
The here and now, wish becomes reality,
Our future beckons with a sublime certainty
And I sleep easy in your arms.
