The Story’s Just Begun (XV)

The Story’s Just Begun

It’s been twelve months since our story began;
when your words reached out, enveloping me
with love and promise. No flash in the pan,
these feelings we share, they have set me free.
Finally, with you I feel like a man,
unfettered…unlocked, for you held the key.
Awakening me with one simple kiss;
releasing me, from darkness into bliss.

You’ve shown me a world that I never thought
existed; woke my hidden desires.
Like a moth to flame, in love I’m caught,
willingly jumping into the fire
of your passion, knowing it’s what I sought.
These feelings that you’ve instilled—inspire
me to write of our story, as words gush
from my soul in such a maddening rush.

Our stories pour forth, as our lives unfold.
Chapters filled with imagery tantalize,
these scents, sights and sounds, a joy to behold.
When I met you it was such a surprise,
yet without you…this life would be untold;
its total meaning compromised.
This diary’s pages have been unlocked;
revealed to us all…our senses unblocked.

For each day is like a walk in the park;
the sun shines, the birds chirp, and the breeze blows,
and with you I sit, long after it’s dark.
My heart stills, in the peace that I now know
while sitting with you. Cupid found his mark.
And so they say that’s how love really goes,
not with a whimper, but with an explosion,
as eyes alight with the flames of passion.

Sitting here, my emotion increases,
next to you, so that even if I knew
tomorrow the world would go to pieces
I would still plant my apple tree, or two
to show our love has a sustained-release.
For there is no future, except with you.
That’s the way that I want it, forever.
Me and you, two become one together.

One whole year—time has come and time has gone,
ticking away, sometimes fast…sometimes slow.
And though I hope, the ending’s not forgone,
In love as in life, we reap what we sow,
and so from dawn to dusk and back to dawn,
burning love for you I will always show.
Our story together has much to write,
filled with oh so many nights of delight.
