love shows... 28082011 in surprising packages
it was a solicitation, bright and early
one sunday morning.
a message that came nudging,
piercing the chill of the night before.
a simple "hi" was all it took...
curiosity aroused with this stranger
whom previously i dismissed with impunity,
as one of those who could not hold
a conversation beyond "wanna fuck?".
next came the picture
that stirred a strange yearning,
for an innocence that still
emanated from a set of smiles
that was all too disarming.
he could be here in half an hour's time... hmm, he has his own car...
he sounded surprisingly open... hmm, a departure from his past untimely silences...
the stage seemed set
for a final kill that would
quell all suppressed passions
the chill of the night had left.
and in came... you.
i was taken by surprise... completely.
communication was easy,
we seemed to be traveling on the plane,
heading for the same destination -
an absolution of our missed opportunities,
and past misgivings;
an actualisation of the man we want to inhabit.
the lark meeting the seagull,
the freshman acknowledging the sophomore.
and a day of seedy interactions
turned into weeks of communion,
and now months of understanding.
both embracing a new found independence
from past unions,
yet were able to give in to
a new faith that would map our journey,
and chart our growth
into the future.
we are the unlikeliest of mates,
the most improbable of unions,
yet i know my heart is at ease
whenever you are near.
guess that's as much as anyone can ask for.
in the days that follow,
i shall chase the sun, the moon and the stars
with you as my co-pilot.
and i look to the sunset and live the dreams that await,
for the two of us.
thank you, love.
