OF THE FLESH

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

for so very long
I've waited for you
you just couldn't imagine
so many faces I have watched
so many voices I have listened for
a turn of a phrase off in the distance
or a collection of shared thoughts
heard nearby
anything I could recognize to let me know
you are back in my life
you didn't come like I imagined
with such great over powering force
you were more like a breeze that gradually
gathered
and as the days collect their portion of
a life time's pay you grow more solidly
entrenched in my life
you are of my sight and breath
you are more rare than a mere transit
of Venus
more reliable and constant than
Haley's own comet
you are my big bang
you can never come around again
I was silly for waiting for you to do so
cause I suddenly just realized
you were always there
always around me
my limited eyes and even more
limited time's experience
just didn't know that yet
suspected yes perhaps but
not until you moved in close enough
for the physical that houses me now
to connect with you then at that level
I knew
and soon our
' Of The Flesh'
will begin and our worlds together
will gloriously expand
and fill with color in ways we
cannot even encompass in our
minds just yet
but we know
the love that was always there
will rain generously upon
the already fertile soil that
together we tilled apart
years prior so focused
and dedicated
even as we were mere children once
separately ourselves
my soul basks in the supreme knowledge
of this graceful incline we have been given
so smile my so very cherished one
for we are coming home.................

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I was in a very romantic mood and decided to write a love poem to a made up lover in my head to make myself feel better. Not bad for a whimsy even if I do say so myself............
