'i Stumbled'

I stumbled upon you 
On my way to nowhere
Just like that 
I had a somewhere I belonged 

I still don’t know the gist of it all
But this somewhere seems like it could be home
The space where the beat of my heart
Has found its echo 
In the moments when you smile
When you affectionately whisper words 
Meant only for my ears
That place where my feet are planted 
Immovable

Even though I stumbled upon you 
I stumbled onto a piece of my heart
I did not realize was gone
Until I stumbled upon you

My senses in totality are in awe of your wonderful lines. Liquefied bliss from the boil of glorious words has brought out enchanting aroma beyond scaling. 7 is simply an underscore for this fine share.

btw I love that, how you used "spew!" That made me snicker for my own silly reasons. yes! what I would give to just finally be able to spew out something! i think I kept them inside too much, that they just dried out or something.
