2012

I dedicate my 2012 to the one I love most... Ouch! I shake my hand and stare at the door knob in disbelief. I open the front door and wince as the scorching late morning sun burns my face. I close my eyes and think back to when I was kid, standing too close to the BBQ as Dad lit it...BIG mistake. I close the door behind me and trip over my towel that had fallen in my chaotic response to the hot mid June weather. Confident from my recent gym ambition, I let my towel fall off my shoulder and reveal my newly sculpted body to the world as I casually approach the giant pool gate. I swing open the gate and walk in...that's when it hit me...SHE hit me. Laying on her beautifully toned tummy...I am a sucker for a woman's stomach; sensual, smooth, so full of subtle detail, the holder of life. I shake my head and snap back to reality in time to catch myself from nearly falling over. I lean down quickly and pick up my jaw from the ground in hopes she didn't notice. Her cardinal red hair up in a bun, or pony tail...I guess wildly as men do. I walk by as stable as I can... "don't stare, don't stare, don't stare," I whisper to myself. THUMP-THUMP!, THUMP-THUMP! THUMP-THUMP! My heart beats so intense I can feel it pulsating through my temples. I reach the lawn chairs and settle down 20ft from her. Directly diagonal to her right shoulder...her wonderfully shaped, perfectly curved shoulders. I tell myself to look away but cannot help. An intense magnetic force pulls my attention to her, I try with all my being to fight it but cannot advert my eyes. I yell at my brain to drop curtains on my eyes but no response. Giving into her dream-like curved body, the sweet gently sweeping motion from the back of her neck to her luscious, tanned cheeked backside. Her legs are incredible. I continue my stare. A non perverted stare of course. I'm taken back to college art classes. The overwhelming amounts of anatomy classes and sketches... Never had I seen such flawlessness. Who was this girl laying by my pool? The most incredibly indescribable woman I have seen and yet, I had only seen half! Just as if I was narrating aloud this profound experience, she turned over and rolled onto her back. Dying the darkest, ugliest death, then awaking to ALL of Heaven's golden warmth doesn't compare to when I looked into her blue-green eyes. Frozen in that moment in time, I had without a doubt, found the woman I knew I was to spend the rest of my life with.
