“MY AIR”

For my prince, who is “my air” and is the sweetest, gentlest, and strongest man I know! 

Somewhere lost in a lonely and dark world

So many people are hell-bent on destroying each other in a self-professed “I’m better than you, damn it” dash wondering who will reach the finish line first

Self-inflated ego race in the who and what can break you better and faster competition

Lived a shy and quiet girl

A magical creation, a mystical man, perhaps of her own making, filled her days and nights with the most profound longing

but what if he did not exist except in the magic of the place she created

she stays, breathing his heart in, and lingers longer to touch the sweetness in his face, the earth-shattering love that beams from deep behind his smile, a tenderness from his eyes that scoop me up and cover me in his love

my heart beats loudly

Can the entire world hear it pound?

Waiting, hoping, and praying he might step out of the shadows

and protect her and love her in the gentlest, and most beautiful ways

Content, capable, and eager to find a peaceful place and her own gentle groove 

A place where kindness matters and tenderness and compassion mean so much more than inflicting hurt and pain 

And then, out of the melody of all my dreams 

stepped out the other half of who I’m meant to be, out stepped my prince to save me

he is my all and my everything, he is passionate and profound, gentle and tender all in every minute, he simply takes my breath away

He is my rain

He is my stars

He is the sweetest kiss sent from the caress of a breeze 

he is the whisper of the wind

He is soft; tender rays of sunlight that softly dance across my face

he is the goosebumps that pirouette across my skin

My sweet prince who fills my days and nights with the most profound and intense longing I have ever known

Desire and longing emerge from the depths of my soul

He is all the parts of me that were missing and incomplete 

I long for the space where I can peacefully exist with the man who sets my entire world on fire and fills my heart with love so profound 

I want to linger in the space and time that is ours alone

Where the world can tear itself to shreds in a cataclysmic destruction

I long for brighter days where people love and are loved despite all the hurt, anger, and pain the world is only too eager to express

Where each being might peacefully exist

where people are not defined by countries or the color of their skin but by the depth of their souls

Where glitter, sparkle, daydreams, and magic can exist 

Where my hand clasped firmly by “my air!” His arms surround me in the most profound and most loving embrace 

He reaches out, caressing my soul without ever touching my skin, my heart and my entire being long to nuzzle in the comfort of his chest that is mine alone,

We will conquer our dreams and set fire to our days and nights! An earth-shattering love storm that can cross any space, time, and distance. Profoundly setting me free,

I will carry this love that consumes my heart and world

Burned by a love that sets my soul on fire and, treasuring this love for the rest of my days

Every speck of time in the hourglass of love we have shared is the sweetest love story. From out of this world he has freaking blown my mind away! I choose to honor this love and each of the dreams and memories we share!

 I choose to sparkle, glitter, and glow and surround myself in all of the breathtaking beauty nestled among a forest colored all the shades of love in space and time where my lover reaches out to me!
