Jonathan's blog: "Poems"

In a moment everything that I knew of my life was shed away like a butterfly from a cocoon. In just that blink of an eye, in just that hesitation, in just that eternity between heartbeats. I stood atop the outcropped cliff of lifes uncertainty and took a single step measuring the distance between falling to the jagged stone below and shattering again in the pit of unanswered questions, but you caught   me.Your energy, your heart lifted me high into the stratusphere past obstructing clouds shrouding my view of the wonders of life, of hope, of future love; upward where countless stars gleamed like countless tears shed from my eyes in an attempt not to drown in past heartaches.

In a look you invigorated me. My body malnurished from fasting on empty words, empty promises, empty people. In your eyes, I saw reflections of a lush oasis of life in the middle of my  baren          soul. And from that oasis, an eden was built, a paradise where once I could only curl up in the hopes that pain would grow bored with me. I could once again rise, outstretch my arms and embrace   the wonderment of heaven within. Hope sprung like clover all around me  and enchantment flooded over me in warm rays. I stood naked, bare, and in awe of how bright  I shown in the reflections of your eyes.  

In a touch, you mesmerised me, invigorating me with energy  from your soul. Long dormant batteries of my heart recharged allowing it to beat again  unencombered. Beneath your caress, my heart would race, my body would sweat, and pain would bead off me like water drying in the sun. Each long, soft stroke of your fingertips wiped away years of pain as easily as whiping  away my tears. You carefully whiped away the cold broken shell that covered me exposing me as you could see me, as you knew I could be seen. And beneath your caress i trembled, but not from chill, but from fear that the rapture of your touch would soon fade and I would be left vulnerable and alone again. 

In a whisper, my name sounded fresh, new, sweetened by your breath, massaged by your lips, put forth by your radience,  In your breathed whisper, I could hear the long lost secrets of man , vows bold and majestic spoken with such clarity, truths unquestionable comforting my being in the knowledge that my name was safe tucked between toungue and teeth like a treasure hidden. I knew that these words from your soul would not maim or shackle like so many spoken past.  Each syllable  lighting down on my heart as gentle snowflakes.  

In a kiss I could feel my future, a silent physical oath, a declaration of entwined forevers. I could feel a lifetime of one  shared by two bodies pulsating as the heartbeat of our universe. In that kiss, time stood still and I could feel the uncontrolable knowledge that as my friend, i would never again know the chilled embrace of lonliness, as my equal, I would never again have a burden to share alone, as my lover I would never deside the touch of another, and as my reason  to love I would someday be blessed with a gloriousproclimation, a melding of our hearts into a son or daughter. And I knew that there was no one that I could ever want to create life with than you.

In a lifetime, I could never have dreamed, I could never have hoped, I could never have prayed for someone to complete me as you. And I cherish each lifetime in our simple moments, looks, touchs, whispers, or kisses. Because I have waited for what seems like eternity for the woman who shown me new ways and reasons to appriciate my extrordinary lifetime.
