Day 709 - From Beneath

It rises up from beneath,
While you're deep asleep,
A roaring growl, or simple squeal,
It races down in a ferocious gale,
There's no stopping at the tiny hole,
Too much force, it just lets go,
It ruffles the sheets,
Bends and kneads through the heat,
Finding a space, it seeps on through,
Musking the air without a cue,
My lover nearby will wake to find,
A smiling face, enjoying flavors of mine.

Day 703 - Last Night

Tonight I woke at 1 A.M.
Just three hours after going to bed,
I felt as if I was being choked,
Tiny bits of pressure on my throat
Cutting off my ability to breath,
In that moment, I decide to rise.

I moved about the house slowly,
Endlessly tired, with no energy,
I drank a few sips of water,
And languished on my chair,
In the darkness, my thoughts wandered,
Seeing different iterations of the me.

At first I was perched on a hill,
An explorer creating my own path,
Seeking out sights never seen,
Meeting people I've never met,
I experienced a new life through their eyes,
Discovered myself while walking alone.

The next me was lonely and afraid,
Never straying from a bland routine,
Up early for a long work day,
Home to eat and sit to watch TV,
My fearless face had become so weak,
Emotionless and showing a sad defeat.

In the end, my mind placed you next to me,
A peaceful and calm man I began to see,
Not worried about seeing the world,
Nor scared of an unfulfilled 9 to 5,
I felt complete with the little smiles and joys,
The ones only your heart could give to mine. 

Day 702 - Remains To Be Seen

It remains to be seen,
How your family will react to me,
A foreign man taking their angel away,
A bit older and beginning to grey.
Perhaps they'll see me as an enemy,
Leaving me lonely, wandering the streets,
Or perhaps I'll be seen as a white knight,
Leading the path to a better way of life.
Either way, I believe that love always win,
Or else we may face a reckoning.

Day 695 - Safe Travels

Dearest love,
Safe travels to you,
To meet your loving family,
May you bring them joy and happiness,
Lighting up all that surrounds you.
Though I will miss you,
Just knowing how much you love me,
Will fill me with holiday cheer.

Day 694 - A Lot Left To Do

Hold on,
Hold on to me girl,
We got a lot,
A lot left to do.

There's a fire inside, we haven't felt,
Wet Eskimo kisses, just making me melt,
There's bridges out there, we haven't crossed,
Cities of wonder, where we can get lost.

Hold on,
Hold on to me girl,
We got a lot,
A lot left to do.

There's stars in the sky, we haven't touched,
Wild flower fields, just waiting for us.
There's worlds to explore, we've never seen,
Your hand in mine, just living a dream.

Day 693 - Spreading Happiness

I love seeing your face light up,
And your smile grow wide,
When you talk about family things,
And the gifts you bought for them.
You heart is so big and wide,
Although sometimes it hides,
Beneath other emotional rides,
Family is always first on your mind.
I couldn't ask for a more caring soul,
You know what's important as this life goes,
Loving and supporting both young and old,
With selfless little ways of making happiness grow.

Day 692 - Her Love

I hear it in her words,

I read it in her eyes, 

I feel in her touch, 

I know it from her laugh, 

I see it in her smile.

Day 691 - Top of the world

First time I heard this song it made me think of us: 

"Don't know where we're gonna be

but I know we're gonna be, 

Sittin' on top of the world."
