Once And Again: For Bijou from Moochie

I am almost there, I am just so close.
The rapid pace of my heart
labors my breathing.
I am excited,
beside myself with unspeakable joy.

I have fantasized seeing you,
being with you, and touching you.
The very nearness of you
is more than my poor riddled nerves
can handle.

Shaken, inspired,
I tried to wrote of our love
and how my soul yearns to be near
the unquestionably bright light that is you.
Last night, in desperation,
my sad heart cried out your name.
Missing you, my heart wept.

Curled up, I prayed through tears,
to spin time, to be with you. Time,
man's torturous invention,
cruel to only tick by, mocking
my romantic notion and yearning
for my one true love.

I love you.
I do love you so much.
Your heart, mind, that brilliant fear,
and so much so,
I love that you need of me,
want me.
I know there is more.

When two are in love,
everything is a frenzy.
Blinders obstruct our view
and this is just bliss.
Sonnets, songs and harmony fill the air,
we step in tune to love
and find laughter at each bend.

Love is a blessing and
the brightest light to live by.
How privileged am I to know
the kindness of the universe
when you ask and do deserve.

When I am without hope,
when joy is hard to find, I think of you.
My heart is depressed missing you, us.
I call to you
and beg of the skies to find you
and deliver my call.
The clouds pass so slowly,
the wind is of no comfort or haste.
Stars of night are less helpful than passing clouds
blinking at me mocking me like time.

Time and stars are in cahoots
to steal my light and little joy,
Twinkling and ticking a little greener than before.
I have something brighter than the night heavens
with a full and heavy moon.
I have you.

I have you to whittle away the tick of time
till a whisper from you
can be heard across an expanse of longing.
We will know intimacy once again.

Our love is greater than the sea
and its heaviest citizens.
I will have you once again.
We will be together once again.
