my eternal maestro, as i have considered what brought us together and what we share, i came upon this poem which was penned just before i confessed my sentiments for you. indeed, i would have left it on your desk, or somewhere you could stumble upon it. i am glad, though, i have the occasion to share it with you now.
i am truly a charmed immortal for being able to call you my husband. eternal companion, such shall always be my sentiments, on this mortal coil and the world which awaits when this earth perishes.
i love you with all that i am.
peter
***
nervous breaths exhaled
wild with anticipation
if you kiss me, i just might perish
but if i perish, i would die happy.
watching you with eager eyes
gaze upon you with hungry thoughts.
all it would take is
the world stopping
for
just
a
few
seconds
and i might summon the courage
and i might take the plunge
and i might burn brighter than the sun
lest i atrophy without your touch
if you only knew
staring at you in my mind’s eye
how many times have we embraced?
how many times have i savored
the taste, the feel, my senses overwhelmed.
if you only knew
that in this moment,
at this very minute,
i want nothing more than to
part my lips
and speak the words
and damn the consequences
i want nothing more
than to study you with my fingertips
and memorize your scent
and pray for you to reciprocate
and never, ever stop.
