To my once better half

Laughter

tessieo:

All the good in you
is in me, when you chuckle
and smile. Wonderful 

You have written everything into me, even if the words remain unsown.

There’s a piece i’ve read somewhere not too long ago, from a poet i can’t seem to recall who nor where. Today is an appropriate day to write my rendition of it:

Thank you darling
for lying sideways
trimming my reticent
overgrowth
just above my heart
for beating about
the shrubs and pulling away
the vines I so often
defend but really were
just stranglers tired,
and tied at the base of
my aorta.

Thank you for your lessons 
in tearless pruning.

My tender gardener.

he choked me for a bit and 
it made my orgasm go on and on
i want to scream his name out
loud enough so it would be etched 
into these four sacred walls of our nest
I was shaking, shaking so hard as if to keep
it in until I could no longer 
Gritting my teeth as I fall into his neck
Surrendering to a silent lovelorn call 
covering us in tiny streams of seawater 

What i always wanted
was just to spend time with you
to learn your name, the stories
you’ve strung together throughout your life
right up till a knot joined yours and mine
in a beautiful braid of entwined tales
of two who loved and lived.

Thank you for your love
given I will always cherish
what we used to have
was the most beautiful love 
in my life
Thank you for your time 
given I will always remember
how I used to be your only one
the only fountain you wanted to drink from
I am sorry I can’t be there with you
I am sorry things didn’t work out
You chose this path for a reason
there’s not one day that goes by
that i don’t long for things to change
things did change
we’re no longer the same
no longer in the same place 

but we did have it all
that will always be ours
