Our Odyssey

by craig   Aug 20, 2004


A midwinter's eve,
her vacant heart,
took my vacant hand.

Our awakening;
first dawn in eden,
two barefoot strangers
glowing and grinning
with burgeoning curiosity,
bewitched by charm, innocence
and a sprinkling of alien nouns,
fanning and flaming an embryonic
comfortableness while cradling a unique bond.

Midnight rendezvous`;
beautiful moments,
courting a dream.

Revealing our past,
sharing the present,
planning our future.

Our love;
a bud in spring,
slowly and delicately opening,
reaching for the warm rays of affection.
Blossoming petal by petal,
flourishing from attention, trust and care
until fully flowered,
revealing its bright vibrant colours.

Our dependence;
confederate hearts and reliance,
discovering the miraculous
wonderment and rapture of a
unexpected romance.
Endless dawns in constant
dialogue as pangs and cravings
for touch and contact begins
to sting and smoulder.

Hitting our stride;
natural familiarity,
global intimacy.

Time sacrificed;
sleep deprivation,
unwavering devotion.

Our feelings;
a mighty blue ocean,
cascading mercurial surfaces
hiding deep dark eternal depths
that swell and flow and flux
with a concurrent, intransigent dynamism.
Wave after crashing wave of
unquenchable fervor,
indomitable resolve,
and an unshakable passionate zeal.

Our encounter;
O`hare, Cook county,
warm Friday summers evening,
electric (wide) eye contact,
trembling legs and tight embrace.
Surprisingly brief awkwardness,
sitting on suitcases, endless smokes,
tangled tongues on dusk bus ride.

Oh my God;
this is really happening!
explosions of merciful relief.
(`At Last!`)

Wet supple lips;
roving hands,
caress soft white breasts.

Our life;
a sweetly sung duet,
two responsive voices
elegantly dancing on a delicately
balanced harmony,
weaving and swooning through
a transcendental, symbiotic melody.
Cherishing and adoring
the lovingly crafted celestial music.

Our Completion;
Just a little boy and little girl
playing with our new love toy,
treasuring each precious second together,
no longer having to bend
and twist the clock.

The wave of excitement I feel;
her smooth skin, her wetness,
in our bed.

A euphoric contentment;
tightly snuggled together,
`Night sweetheart`.

My love and I,
creating joy and bliss,
redefining happiness on a daily basis.
Learning compassion and tenderness
from each other on our
wondrous magical journey.

xxx Being in love with you Michelle is beyond a dream, I truly love you xxx

I want to spend my whole life with you,and it's already in the works sweetheart...I have to mention a couple of things, but I loved this entire poem..I would quote it all, but that wouldn't make much sense now would it???...I just mean that each part is very significant to me..to US..but I had to pick a couple so here I go:..Kind of sums it up doesn't it..the revealing the past, sharing our present, and planning our future...perhaps the simplest lines of the poem but yet so all-encompassing!...fervor, RESOLVE(you BET baby!!)...zeal..yep..all of those!...O' Hare airport..one of those life-defining moments that neither one of us will ever forget..and we have so many of those now..ALREADY! ..imagine in 50 years babe! ;)...awwwww..and you mention my VERY favorite time of each and every day now ...'night sweetheart, all snuggled in tight..and we're getting ready to go up to bed together now..it feels so unbelievably wonderful to have your arms and legs all wrapped around me like that...makes me happier than anything...and then the end..this magical journey...you've said that right! The most magical thing that's ever happened to me, and probably ever will...we're a family now and that makes me SO very happy...we're just missing Dylan..give him a year or so!! ;) I love you so much sweetheart...have almost since the very beginning(we weren't 'just' friends for long now were we!!!??) and will my entire life...kisses, cuddles and LOVE...always...Mich (ps..this is my new favorite baby)kiss, kiss.
