christmas rip tide

mmm

mmm

mmmmm

how delicious it is

i'm drinking it in

the thought of your skin on my skin

i know what this is
the way your shoulder blade looks to me,
what it does to me
the speed of my heart
while i'm reading to you
and even more so
when we aren't saying a word

i feel joy

beyond

joy

happiness and a sense of content

never before felt

i used to be scared

unaware

that i could face each day

and here i am

laughing in the face of mystery

taking it by the hand

mine bare,

grasping a glove

unknown to my own understanding

excited to experience everything i don't know

there is so much more

and i'm in love with you

i love it, too

the way i cringe and groan

hope you will give me the time of day

let me make you moan

i'm dirty and flirty and worthy of love

of everything unsaid

everything yet to discover

i'm hovering above this sense

of a different dimension

elapsed time in space

with you, whether you know it or not

happy to be there

happy to be forgotten

it's christmas

i've been given the most wonderful gifts

i'm blessed i'm fortunate i'm comfortable i'm loved

i love i give i practice

to the best of the best

living in one extreme

growing into the next

finding my place in between

through balance

to love you

and to fight

to let go

and to quiet my mind

let be, be

close my eyes and see

living to let live

i have absolutely no worries

my anxieties don't rid me of the joy i deserve

they have melted away in a suffelleheyheyhey

i live to serve my being and the rest\

to express my understanding

of my own soul

yours

and the rest

i love you

i love me

i'm in love with you

i love you

my mind has been taken

by the tide of its time

paddling at an angle won't create the current's demise

of lovesick struggle

and life's triumph

so i'll grasp both

as i'm carried out to sea

and ride the damn wave

punch fear in the face

and kiss your delicious lips

right then and there

forget about how scared i was

take your hand in my hand

do what i can

let the sun shine, too

or struggle through grey clouds

and cold winds

that i won't be able to notice

through all of this

merry christmas
