Treasures That Bind Us Close

Today, I share this ocean, this sky, this sunset, this emotion with you. It means everything to me to be in this world, together with you.

You have filled a void that was deep within me. Like the sun’s beams that reflect off the water—through the clouds—onto me, you too enhance my spirit, my perception and my ability to feel. To feel the love within everything and everyone and within me.

I feel you and your spirit. You are the waves that caress the shore and the shimmering breeze filled with ocean scent.

The longing for that breeze to caress and linger brings me home. To feel that sensation of life itself fills me up and makes me whole.

It sways me to a smile, your hands about my neck, that touch so feather-light and like the sun it sends me warm.

Another sunset of your beauty, the light enveloped by the waves, as blue becomes tainted pink and grey, coated by a spectrum hue.

The moon’s bursting fullness tugs at my heart and all it holds, spirals of memories included in my treasure, as the sun’s glory says goodbye the ocean meets the sky and I see the creation of colour rippled gold with the clouds enshrouded by sultry red.

I sense this longing, this yearning born of two, that we almost desperately pretend does not exist—to save our sanity—yet it has such strength and force our connection with a grip that does not let go.

And, deep down, we both know our love was meant and will be enacted, as the masters of fate and destiny, so many moons ago, decreed.
