(reposted for my husband, Taylor, on our 22nd anniversary) This Cleaving has no Number It has been such a long time, love. Such a road that weaves its magic into this song now, love. I remember the newness of skin we melted in that first sublime embrace, you with your sweet youth in ardor and I withered by this passion’s door you opened with some magic that glanced and feathered toward me. I played into your soul a rhythm born from sagacity and travail of heart. I played it, and you fell into a depth I didn’t know I had. Was it so many nights that I cannot count which starry or mooned, cannot count the times my back has warmed by your sweet chest that heaved in slumber and sent me sweetly to dream in safe and delirious familiarity. You, who freed me with your cageless door, have met me with a blessed timeless grace that keeps the wings for opening and joys in the flight to watch. We have both danced around winging our lovely song with living and the years have fallen thus, across the meandering mix of spirit two, as if our twirling was held by forces from a plan already known. Can it be so long, love? This cleaving has no number, for the counting is too precious and we are still ongoing in dance. |

Martie, Can it be so long, love? This cleaving has no number, for the counting is too precious and we are still ongoing in dance. The wonder of it all.  |

We have both danced around winging our lovely song with living and the years have fallen thus, across the meandering mix of spirit two, as if our twirling was held by forces from a plan already known. This is such a very beautiful poem, Martie... and I hope that you and your husband have a wonderful 22 anniversary. ~ anniversary hugsLyra |
