The Day...

I first felt you
There beside me
I had no words.
No knowledge,
No grasp of what
Would be coming next.
That was the day
When what I had ever known
Would simply be wiped away.

From those first
Mouthfuls of you
Gently imbibed
A breathy blend of
Whisky and intrigue
Distinct expressiveness
That wove through
Artful conversation.
All this;
Yes
You piqued my interest.
Touched me somewhere new
I was there
Present in the moment
Finding me through you.

An intense clarity in your eyes
Reflected me back.
Simple honesty
Uncomplicated
I was here
Engaged and willing
Something about you
Who, and how you are
Led me to share
Small mouth-sized bites of me
And as time carried us
Through that night
Our lives began to touch

And as that day
Morphed into those moments
That ended and began
Whitewashed working weeks,
I began to
Physically
Emotionally
Intellectually
Let you in
To places that even
I had never seen.

Subconsciously
Perhaps,
I don't recall the thought;
The deliberation
The question.
I knew I felt
Different.
An organic
Lifting of the layers
Began way before this
First time meet.
Smudged fingerprints of former lives spent
Traced their way across our written words
And cracks of light spilled through
The pages of what would become
This;
The Story of Us.

And here you were
Right beside me
This physical presence
A manifestation of
Those gentle nudges
As you questioned your own
life learning,
Offering
Acute insights and
Acrid admonishments
Of that once-little boy
Earnest and deserving

The day I first felt you
Inside me
Wanting
Needing
Believing
No falter
No hesitation
Accepting
That this felt right
No awkwardness
For us to clamber over
Part-pasts too painful to 
Pointlessly paint over
So we shared
What was right
Peeling back our layers
As we slipped silently
Safely into the night
Yes
That is the day
I felt us 

Two Small Worlds...

Yes,

It is undeniably true

When I say I have fallen simply for you.

Yet

There are days in my head where there's nothing but blue,

I have an ache that hovers as it softly seeps through

Layers, once mine but are now me and you.

I've been thinking about Us, you see

And what it is to be here, as me.

Floating along on this love-lapping tide,

I sometimes get caught while lost in our ride.

Emotions and colours escape once tied.

Synchronicity. Yes, that is you by my side.

Serendipitous as two small worlds quietly collide.

One Adventure 

Come Play...

Come 

Spend some time 

With me

Each day's an adventure

Just wait to see

Chase my sunset

Breathe my sunrise

Fill my heart 

With echoes and sighs

Light my brightest smile

Bring me in close 

Just for awhile

Watch me laugh

 Then a little skip

Keen to make that quickest quip

In your kitchen

I watch you cook

 Thinking outside your brain-book

Pillows on me pile so high

Peel them back

And 

My Oh My

Bright lights from ceilings high

Not once in darkness did we just lie

Breathing gently 

Soft on my skin

See those goosebumps 

Rise from within 

Morning coffee 

Just the way it should be

The things that you like 

When you're with T

Water dancing along my skin

I'm almost done

I'll let you in

Walls to stretch

Touch 

Entice

Warm together 

Yes

It's

Nice

Simply T

You've taught me 

To taste

You've taught me 

To try

You've taught me 

To touch

You've taught me 

To tease

You've taught me 

To think

You've taught me 

To tell

You've taught me 

To trust

You've found the

True T in me

***Walking Words***

Suspended Here...

Let's just leave this place

Hold my hand tight

Just right

Behind my hollowed back

I'll follow you

Soaring through

Kaleidoscopes of colour

When I close my eyes

Feel you here

Next to me

I can see the stretch 

Of 

Infinity

It's in reach

Hands in hair

Soft then rough

Sublime care

Shrinking tough

Skin on skin

Come on in

Senses

Soaring

Arching back

Face hidden

Won't see my guard 

Drop

Signals speed

Draw you in deep

Chaos ripped away

Caught in the slip stream

Letting go of that 

Tiny World

Wittling away 

Somewhere far below

Hold in my consciousness

Until I can no more

Careless abandon

Surrender

You're nudging at the bottom of my heart

Slamming at the back of my mind

Warm wet amber glow

Flooding my veins

Blowing my mind

Like the first hit 

Circuit breakers
Tripping
Soft
Sensual
Stillness
Slow
Opening eyes
You're holding me
Suspended here 
In euphoria 

I hear my mind sigh

And I am lovingly lost

In the sounds of 

My heart
