Miles and Miles

There's once in a lifetime and there's once in a while... The difference is more than a million miles! The long road to a journey's end From the moment of birth to the birth of best friends A fitting stanza to a poems end An epitome for which your lifetime spent Tenacity forging and kept One day arriving at that "someday" you hoped to find but doubted would come Oh but the glory now that it's done! We speak congenially of dreams with an honesty bedded like the deep when "met" it dawns - your deepest needs Firm as a driving wind Fixed like habitual ways An enduring than refuses goodnight to the day To secure the very life we were meant for To find, open, and walk through that door past secret thoughts of "there must be more" Only to feast on transcendental happiness which words cannot bare to weigh now evening and morning in your arms where I lay What hand or soul more perfectly paired A destiny of perfection benevolently prepared In silence bowed for gratitude's prayer Every step, every mile miles and more, the millions of miles want not for a single moment to waste Cashmere touches tinted pastel hydrangea blue ... your loving eyes shine with raptured disbelief to have found another comparable to you You looking at me with incipient serenity Me staring at you... even etched wrinkles of sadness withdrew Undressing layers of disenchantments held in the queue When our "Once in a Life Time" sketch upon our world of countless smiles unrivaled laughter evolved from that one of "once in a while" One rhythm One beat One marriage being made Somewhere beyond the passion of "Fifty Shades of Grey"
