No matter the distance
our hands always seem to settle in the middle
perched on a bridge of understanding and tolerance.
Do the secrets of our past really matter
in light of what it is now that tends to glow
every time we dream together?
I know you
have witnessed the nature of your heart
in words
in breath
and in the slight whisper of your eyes
as they watch me when you think I'm not looking.
Can I be captivated so by a man
that my wits would take a vacation somewhere sunny
for the rest of my life?
Can my eyes become so entangled with the dark of your lashes
that I forget my fear of drowning in another love story?
Through one glance I know your faults.
Through one kiss I know your desire.
When you held me
we talked beneath the rain that seemed to follow us everywhere.
We drank each other while huddled under a dawn sky
two nude wills
heart bathing beneath the light that each created.
We will love through chaos
be steadfast through all matters of storms.
two hearts will build the foundation for one point of light
a duet done with passion
a work of art that will surpass even the waves of hell
that think our devotion is made of sand.
Love endures
endurance rewards
and I will aspire to love you in the future
with as much faith as I do now.




I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement.

I always had hope Julie.

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!

"Through all matters of storms."  

Love should be like that, for everyone.

Thank you.  It's good to read such words of love.  I need them today.

What light through yon window breaks?  It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
