Daydreams and Wishes

I look across the rolling silver-blue expanse of the ocean melting into the clouds,

feel raindrops, the finest mist, touching my skin, fresh air and the smoke of a wood fire mingle

and it’s now I need you the most.

I wish to hold your hand and breathe you in,

I wish to know your scent, your touch, your presence.

I wish to know your patterns and routines, I wish to expect your unexpected,

I wish to hold a collection of your secret delights and pull them out of my hat when you feel a little down,

I want to chase you through warm waves in golden sunshine, roll with you on yellow leaves falling like confetti, I want to spend long, dark nights in front of a fire with you and greet the new green growing with our love intense and bold.

I want to know your thoughts, your feelings, your treasures and frivolities, I want to share your dreams, desires, disappointments and triumphs, I want to know where you’ve been and where you are going, I want to know where you’ve been hurt, what you are struggling with, from where you derive your strength, I want to know what makes you cry, both from joy and from pain.

I want to know your body, I want to touch each scar, every line on your face, I want to feel your hair between my fingers, I want to feel the muscles on your back when you move, I want to be the focus

of your unbroken desire, and on a day such as today, be locked in your arms, needing no one but each other, to get lost in time…
