Jesse-James

(Secrets...I'll never tell.,
Wishes...I know so well.)
I sit and ponder
The surprise direction
this path has taken.
I am in awe
of myself,
my newly-found desire
to welcome you in.
I confess
my longing to meet you
in a meadow of wildflowers,
to wear an ivory dress
and sing vows to you
in a symphony of promise.
I desire
to feel your arms
wrapped around me,
to see your smile
on the face
of our newly-born child.
I want to awaken
to your voice
and nevr know silence
again.
Years of compiling
games and pains
Only to find
simplicity to be
The grandest of all.

I'd almost forgotten
the way love feels...
