We never let the indifference of critique
Blind us to my undertaking.
That solemn vow,
I, to write, and you to read;
So my soft, outreaching hand
May ever be clasped in anticipation as you search
The secrets I mesh in my poetic adoration.
Perhaps a conceit to expect
That such could appeal beyond
Our promise,
But this vow takes on so much more
In it’s very being.
These missives are our gift to the world;
They breathe the hope that my kiss
Imparts in them, feel the warmth of your
Embrace and are
Salted by tears of joy and yearning
From both sides of a cruel divide.
I would have them known and adored
As I adore you;
I write so that the world may one day
Feel a pang of jealousy, a hint of awe
And know in their whole being that which you
Made your truth in our first heartbeat.
They would search us out, curious
To meet such creatures that love as we do,
And surely in time one would find
Enough in my words (so unique and wondrous are you)
That they would lay their chin upon you shoulder
And whisper with certainty, ‘you are loved,’ making you blush
And think of me.
‘Whimsical dreams,’ you will chuckle to yourself as you read these
Lines, but they remain ours forever.

I received another rejection this morning,
But I am not downcast,
As it was not from you.
