This was inspired by true events, a real person, and a loving heart.

While none of us is perfect, it is the love I find inside of me that makes all of the trials, tribulations, struggle and heartache worth it.

So, while I often struggle with the past, and the voice inside of me that suggests living in a shell is safer than putting myself out there, all I need to do is close my eyes and remember just how beautiful it all is and thank her for showing me the power of both the sunrise and the sunset, the beauty in the stars, and the importance of feeling the grass embrace my feet.

In my mind I am laying next to you

Your head on my chest

Your hand gently caressing my arm

We are silent but for our breathing.

 

You whisper something I don’t need to hear

I can feel it in my Being

I whisper it in return with a tussle of your hair

As my fingers gently follow the contours of your face.

 

There are no questions in this dream

Our truth is the reality

This truth has set us free

And saved us from the freshly laid tokens of disgust.

 

You stir and bring your face to mine

Our lips embrace in a dance of pure honesty

Our eyes meet in the space between our thoughts

And instantly we forget we are human.

 

Your hair falls onto my face

Tickling my skin as our mouths speak silent words

Our hands hold tightly, our hips speak slightly

Even as our hearts sing loudly a song that fills eternity.

 

Such is Love eternal.

 

We sit together, anywhere…

Our bodies separate but One

Our minds wondering within the space we walk together

We feel, we touch, we know.

 

We talk about nothing at all

Or everything.

We laugh, we challenge, we speak our truth

Always knowing the love that shines in our eyes.

 

There is no fear in us

No games to play, no roles to engage

We find our truths and simply know

Because we walk together in the Light.

 

We are the Sharing

We are the confidence we feel in one another

We are the thought that brought us together

We have known the anger and have embraced the joy.

 

We walk in the woods hand in hand

Stopping to smell the essence of who we are

I brush a fly from your cheek

Your hand touches mine in return.

 

We lock eyes, we can’t escape this moment

As tears form in my eyes the words form in my Soul

“I love you”

Spoken from two hearts a truth insurmountable.

 

Such is Love eternal.

 

We argue about something

Or nothing at all.

We fight for who we are 

But never lose sight of who We are.

 

We share our insecurities

And give each other our fears

Not as testaments to dependence

But as acknowledgments of a trust reborn.

 

We hang up, we go silent

Yet we are quick to forgive

Such forgiveness comes from a place

That sees our humanness for what it is.

 

I fall into your arms in exhausted revelry

Rejoicing in the beauty that I have found in you

Knowing that you have found the same in me

In that there is a beauty only gods could see.

 

Such is Love eternal.

 

We are imperfect and perfect One in the same

A spirit of two as One

In the knowing that one affects the other

Like the Earth affects her moon.

 

I pull your Oceans to and fro

You hold me in your grasp

A strength only known through the space between

We call moments of imperfection.

 

Yet despite all of this humanness

When you hold my hand I know sweet Divinity

When you look into my eyes I see Heaven itself

And when you lean on me, I know that I am strong.

 

Such is Love eternal.

 

I cannot forget this moment of pure joy

The one that gave me this dream,

This moment with you unencumbered

By what we think.

 

I know what has given life to it

It is something deeper than my thoughts

Something more powerful than my imagination

Something that can change the Universe without an effort.

 

I know that as surely as I can now feel your hand in mine

And see your beautiful eyes through the tears forming in my own

That this is where I must be

I am home because my heart is with you.

 

I am grateful for such a powerful understanding

And know that while my mind works its wonders

My Heart is asking for a reprieve

It simply wants to bask in your presence.

 

If we see the same Sunrise

Tell me you feel it too

Tell me what is in your Soul

Your truth as only you can know it.

 

I will walk along with you

Sometimes kicking and screaming

Other times laughing and crying in joyful ecstasy

But it will be with you if your truth will allow.

 

Forgive me, for I know not what I do

In moments of weakness show me strength

In moments of strength show me tenderness

In moments of tenderness show me who I am.

 

Such is Love eternal.
