The Essence of Love

My veil falls to my feet I am at my most vulnerable yet I lose my shyness easily in front of you as your eyes acceptingly savor me. I am in awe of my ease of presence and of your hunger of my being in spite of my perceived flaws. What do you see in me? The intelligent loving being you are I have held my love for so long waited.... for one who longs for me just as I am and that being is you, my love A weight is lifted from my soul as I allow you to partake of my very essence. I feel a freedom that I have never known. I feel like an eagle soaring free and unburdened from expectations. My joy is boundless as another has seen both body and mind but loves the reality of each, not the perceived wish. I discern the peals of you laughter and your concern long before I share the tales of my day. I do not conceal myself nor do I want to. My entire body longs to meld into you. My despair is lifted to the heavens. I want for nothing when I am in your arms. I will not hide. I have been extricated from the complexities of my mind. My personal reality is shattered. My breath and vision are absconded as I am lifted into your acceptance. I was taught that I was not enough contemptible and unbefitting. I thought that I would die lonely and bereft of love, unworthy. I seek your face, your smell, your essence. I long to love you demonstrate the depth of my ardor Will I be sufficient for your needs? My needs now become second. Yours are primary as I seek to plenish your temple. My lips savor every part of your being and now contain the memory of you when you are not in my presence. No one else can consume me. Others can perform but 'tis not the same as love. I am an eagle coasting on the breath of our ecstasy in love's fair union. No matter what the future holds I know that I can never be ONE again. I'll always remember you, my love.
