bliss

Wouldn’t it?

~ ~M ~ 17 Comments

Wouldn’t it be satisfying
to always stay
right next to each other
arousing never-ending play

Wouldn’t it be something
to awaken the sky
watching us kiss
beneath its bright blue eye

Wouldn’t it be amazing
to go dipping our toes
in a stream faraway
where nobody goes

Wouldn’t it be exciting
to throw off all our clothes
existing in a place
where nobody knows

Wouldn’t it be romantic
to settle down in the shade
knowing absolutely nothing
could ever be forbade

Wouldn’t it be perfect
to be all alone
in a place like no other
blissfully unknown

Wouldn’t it be magical
to exist in a world beyond
like a tale that never ends
going on and on

Soar

A dandelion seed
That’s what you are
Neither here nor there
Gliding gleefully
Flying ever so high
The current as your companion

Floating on the sea of life
I see you there and I’m smiling
As the sun shines upon your face
Listening to the birdsong of tranquility
Holding steadfast to the feather of peace
As the waves of contentment wash over your beautiful soul

Happiness abides within you
Carrying you to the ends of the earth
A heart so full of blissful wonder
A head so unaware of the passing of time
All the things that really matter
You’ve found them
Now hold on tight

Thinking of you…

~ ~M ~ 12 Comments

I cannot count the ways
or measure the depth of my love for you.
Words escape all rational notions
when I try to convey my thoughts.
It’s like trying to describe
the scent of a rare fragrance,
or explain the inconceivable mysteries
that leave the world in awe.
You are simply the magic keeping me alive
when nothing else can.

To be loved so hard

~ ~M ~ 16 Comments

To be loved so hard…
Is there anything better?

That raw connection, primal and lusty
in an earth-shattering kind of way

A feeling that leaves you breathless
wanting more and more
until your body is completely tangled up
in sheets saturated
with the drenching of divine energy

Where the cares of the world lose their luster
and all that remains is the very reason for living

Oh, to be lost in that blissfully euphoric world
the one you’ve both created
from the deepest depths of your souls

There is no greater gift
than to be wrapped in the arms
of someone who never holds back
who gives everything
the one who understands you
like no one else ever has
to grow every day
deeper and deeper in love
with years spent discovering
the best parts of yourself
but also entwined with the heart and soul
of someone special

That someone being the best thing
that’s ever happened to you

The only reason you wish you could live forever
because without them
eternity doesn’t matter
and life here on earth may as well not even exist

Always…

~ ~M ~ 12 Comments

As last year fades
into fond memories of bliss,
and we treasure what we had
in every warm and loving kiss,
I promise to be here
whenever you’re ready
with a dedicated shoulder
to hold you steady.
I’ll shed no tears
for the times when you’re gone
because when you’re here
I know we’ll be strong.
Our unexplainable bond
can never be broken,
for it goes much deeper
than that which is spoken.
You’re the everything
that brightens my days,
and I will love you for now
and forever, always…xo
