Because I know no better feeling

 
We are two sides of a coin
Different as night and day;
Where I am argumentative;
You listen.
Where I am headstrong;
You are level-headed.
You hold a torch for me
So I can look up to you.
That you don’t even know that;
Your humility is priceless.

You give me hope
And let my callous soul rest in the depth of your heart.
I am at a loss…
Trying to capture the essence of your appeal
You say you have nothing to offer me -
In giving me everything!
I will honour you with my life;
Because you honoured me first.
And even when distance separates us in miles…
And the timelines clash on the edge of light and darkness…
The heart skips for you every nanosecond.

You are the glow in morning glory
Like to the whiff of the earth kissed by the rain;
I am drawn to you;
Craving you –
Your soul-
From where I draw my strength.
I listen to your heart
As it beats out the staccato rhythm of my name
Watching your chest heave; as you draw out all the consonants and vowels
With a caress of a soft breeze

I believe in enchantment
Now that I met you
No one has any right
To command anyone’s heart to skip, incessantly
Intensely …
Like the rhythmic pounding of a workman’s hammer
Not that I am complaining
Who would?
When floating in the oars of a love so pure
Cloud nine is a great place to be

To get to you,
I will stop at nothing…
With everything I am;
I’m already running…
My world will never be what I expected.
When I met you;
My universe turned onto a new axis
Giving me an angle I couldn’t resist.
With you;
It was never too late
It was what was written in the future.

I will close my eyes to everyone…
… but you
I will lock my heart…
… to any other caress
I will be here to share in every dawn
And every rainy day…
Every anniversary…
The tears…
…and joys of epic proportions
And when dusk saunters in…
I will close my eyes and feel you with my heart.

I love you
Because I know no better feeling
I want to believe that this is for real
You saved me from my fear;
Now I wear my heart on my sleeve
Oh sweet irony!
I live for hope.
I see the pheromones
Leading me from the edge of the darkside
To your door…
To dawn…

…. TO BE CONTINUED
