I gaze as the moon shimmers across his naked body

lost in the thought of who he is and

how blessed I am he's in my life,

And how it is that this passion is hotter than it was in the beginning.

YUM!

This man lying in my bed emanating strength and power

boldly going where no man has gone before

by taking a chance on me and loving me

totally, unconditionally, wholly.

Oh! Those who have no clue

and those who mock the ties that bind

and those who say their love is real

without those little pieces of paper.

It is far easier to cohabitate than it is

to swear eternal allegiance before God,

mean it by fighting for it,

tearing out those little things that work to destroy your forever.

Hah! You fool yourself

and you do not know

the passions that come from total and complete

Trust founded on a Word far stronger

than even the sweetest “I love you but…”

You can not know what you have not known

and I do,

I do

feel so sorry for you.
