Cerulean

i love You
because the earth revolves around the sun
because the wind blows
the clouds across the sky
because the rivers flow downhill
and the air clears after a storm
because only my love for You
despite the laws of gravity
keeps me falling off the earth
into another dimension

i love You

like the habit i have of saying sorry
when i am late for something
because i drink a glass of water in one go
in the mornings
then drink coffee all day long
and because You keep my feet warm
when i giggle and press them to Your back
before You growl gently
then take me
'there'
later, in Your arms and lap
is my peace and lite

i love You

because i don't want it
any other way
i am helpless in my love for You
it makes me so happy i grin all damn day
recalling the way Your voice sounds
when You say my secret name
in that way
'commanding'
it feels so right that if i didn't love You
i'd have to be born again
and that is not a theological statement
it just is
Amen!
[♥]

i love You

the poets tell me love
is so simple
like walking from one room to the next
like when i wake and rub my eyes
and find You there, staring
my breath catches in my chest
for a moment
so i smile and reach out to beep Your nose
daily, the mere thought of You sends
thrills through my body
sizzling
through my blood and
down and out through
brightly painted cerulean blue toenails

i love You

because no two snowflakes are alike
no two loves are the same
Aye, like the love i have for you
has surpassed all others
and makes it possible that if i stand on tippy toes
maybe, sometimes
i can just manage to kiss
the tip of Your nose
'just'
If You bend a lil and let me

i love You

because G*d determined
i should love You
then he let You weave Your life
into mine and made me love You
more than cheesecake and choc chip mint icecream
more than shoes, yes *gasp* shoes!
i would gladly go barefoot
i love you more than
my freedom, committments or
responsibilities
because one Friday afternoon
You decided to claim me
and i said yes
and You said
Mine
