I must confess. I came across this poem I wrote many years back after meeting my wife, almost 13 years ago now. I still feel the same and hope I always do. Sighing and Smiling : )
It’s crazy, but I’m totally in love with this woman
she drives me crazy
I love how strong she is, how direct
I love that she demands more from people
I love that she is a beautiful, feminine woman
strong, fierce and passionate
I have been waiting a long time for her
to enter into my sphere of existence
and there she is, suddenly it seems
consuming me like a wildfire
and I want to cry at her beauty, how alive she is
what she demands from the human race is so visceral
so alive, so hauntingly wide awake and so real
I believe now in God and the sheer utterance
of eternity feels so absolute to me that
I want to melt into life with the concern
and the compassion of the wolf
for the taste of flesh, for the taste of the hunt
it is all I crave now, and it makes total sense
this humming in my bones for peace
for contentment
what more is there?
