Mine Tonight...

my feet tread softly upon these cold tiles... hoping they transition onto your own. to be met again with a smile that reveals it's satiation at being seen, heard, loved and desired by a fools heart. my feet tread softly... as my heart can now feel the weight of that beautiful pain found only in the pine for something sweet that pines for it just the same. that lovely emotional symphonic ache that says "i miss you my love... please find me now". this heavy heart is mine tonight and with it... an unparalleled gratitude. for such a thing declares my heart is alive. it says my heart can love and laugh. it reveals its ability to see and hear those that seek it still with the same fervor and passion it is designed to artistically express. in the midst of this welled up soul of tears... i am thankful...

and how lovely do i find you... as a solitary tear is allowed the privilege of kissing your beautiful face on my account... one. more. time. a tear among the many that was never meant to be an evil, but that instead was meant as the sign of a heart that mirrored my own. a sign that all i knew to be true was true no matter what was ever seen, heard or allowed to be so. a sign that when you reached out for me in the dark... i was doing the same. that when you felt that graze on your shoulder... i was feeling the soft of your skin on the tips of my fingers and that when you felt something soft pressed upon your lips... i was having a beautiful dream. as the symphonic ache composes its own sonata from two hearts now that share the same... my heart cries out in verse...

where does this heart land? (as if it had legs instead of wings) and where does it go to satiate this pine? (as if there was ever an end to its need) how do i live with this in my chest when those seasonal foxholes and trenches no longer serve in their purposed distraction? it is true that it is the artists desire to make love to his muse and i will name her "love" tonight. "love"... my truest muse. you are mine tonight... smile for me my love... remember me fondly and say my name with hope pressed against your lips. feel my breath of love upon your neck and breathe out the same... you are mine tonight...
