The Wedding Poem

Waiting for a poem
In the afternoon light of spring
A bee
Curiously settled next to me
Cocked it's many eyes to the side
Seemingly asking
'Why are you here?'
I thought to myself a long while
The bee never moving
'I don't know.' I replied

We sat that way for some time longer
The evening sun casting it's saffron glow
When I turned to the bee
'Because it's beautiful' I said

Beautiful
Like now
Being here with you
On the cusp of the unknown
Warm and renewed in the setting glow
Of your smile that beams;
Beautiful
Like now
Being here with you
And the realization of this dream...

Wake

You wake with your entire body
Hands that glide
Over the incompleteness of me
Legs that vice
Holding me till I feel you pulse
Till I feel you close
So close you're inside of me

You bond with me beyond everything
Including dreams
Over horizons of inadequacy
You subdue my screams
Each time you hold me within your arms
Till I feel you close
So close you're the air I breathe

Paint me a rainbow again with your smile
Colors stream
And after 'while
Beyond these bogs of compromise I'll escape
Within your eyes
As you wake
To kiss me close
So close you take me to your paradise...
