Something I wrote a long time ago:
And to you, My Key
(2003-12-17, 2003-12-17 18:29:29.245882-08)
Can you hear it, this sound, not of my own but created just for this
moment, reminding me so much of you. Your eyes flash in my mind, and I
try, I try to think of something else, but your smile is there,
washing me in its beauty. My heart beats faster and I can't think
straight; what is it I was doing?
Is that you I see, your face swimming before my vision? I reach out
wanting to hold you, and I do. You are there, here, inside of my body
and a part of my soul. Is this why you plague my thoughts with wishes
of you? Is this why I see starlight at noon?
Could you truly be here? I turn, and there you are, shyly smiling,
trying to hide your eyes, causing me to grin. You turn from me in
sudden self-consciousness, but I am there, arms wrapping around your
body, giving you of my safety, my love.
Do you feel that? The soft tickle of my breath against the skin of
your neck as I exhale, then breath of you once more, my oxygen. Was
that a shiver? My arms, they tighten about you ever so gently,
conveying your shiver to my heart and locking it there for all time as
a part of you, part of me.
Could you tell? When my lips pressed against your flesh and tasted of
your scent. Was that a soft sigh I heard escape your mouth at my
touch, filling my senses and mind with even more of you? Did you just
lean closer into me; your body sinking into mine slowly and gently, my
heart rapidly fluttering against your back?
Tell me that was you, the hands that rested on my arms and squeezed
lightly, and the fingers that caressed against my skin. If it wasn't
you, then my life is empty, so please, tell me it was your body
pressed against mine; shuddering and yearning to be with me, for I
know it was my own soul crying out for you.
Please let the voice that said my name be yours, the soft words that
blessed the air to be heard, let it be you. It was your name that was
placed against my lips, against your skin. The gentle moan that
vibrated my throat was only yours, for you only, created by my heart,
to your flesh, and into your soul.
May I claim this love that cleanses me, for my own, from your heart to
mine, conveyed by your lips against this unworthy man's? Will you let
me stay, this way, for all of time, your love locked away deep within;
a flower eternally blooming in the darkness inside, with only your
light to kiss it.
For only one can open this lock, with a key only you may possess. From
now, till tomorrow, and always; To you, my key.
