Bliss

Spiderwebs, a featherweight design splays out passionately all around me

Safeguarding the things I used to see, encapsulating the biting memories into a format that benefits me

So that I don't always see

The things that make me cry when you're not there

You see,

I want to be the person you so often tell me you see

Because in your eyes there's a radar

That my minds eye can never follow

Billowing amidst a crisp white halcyon  

My breath is frost

Footsteps falling heavy amongst the snow

Weighted only by the thoughts of everything I've yet to learn

Never what I've come to know

Normally when winter comes I drop with the chorus and don't come back up

Vintage tapestries take over semi fond memories

Never knowing which way is up

I'm back to before you and me

However, I'd like to think that when I'm not really thinking at all

I have a happy place within a happy place

A breakfast nook tucked back tight within a hideaway

That I can escape further into when I am already past being small

I see you there

Always

Outside the big hexagonal windows in the villa we call home

Carrying inside the daffodils and crocuses that bloomed much to soon

Coffee is brewing on the counter

I love you

I hope you know

You are always there

Since I met you

I've constructed this house for two

It's capacity is currently of one

But I one day hope to find space permanently for you 

When I'm with you things are as perfect as perfect can be

You make me happy

And as complex as I am

Sometimes that's all that I need

My nihilism comes

Ebbing to and throw

But ever since I found you

Happiness is all I've come to know

This final thing is my ultimate truth

It is everything I know

Happiness is a rain check I can no longer afford to make

You're one of a small handful of reasons I'm alive right now

And one of the even fewer I really must keep

I hardly feel like I've known you only for the short time I have

I'm yours as long as you'll have me

In a blizzard or a heat wave

Dismal rain or a harsh desert shine

No, this is not a marriage proposal

Take it however you want to in fact

I'm just content spending as much time with you as I can

We're just two odd ducks

Navigating a super foreign land

Taking all the time we need

To finish converting this space

Carving out a peaceful haven

Where relics of the past

Can be art on the walls

Featherlight in all their beauty

Like tranquil spiderwebs

Gossamer

Threads tangled up forever

An intricately ornate puzzle

A declined rain check

Our lives

Full of possibilities

Halos of everything that should be

Spun up like twinkling lights all around us

And everything I could ever want

And everything we could ever be

Is possible in this fleeting minute

And every precious second thereafter

Anything is possible

Because you're all that I need

Nothing is bitter

Never a bah hum bug

The sighs sputter out to nothing

You're all that I need

When you make me a part of your day

When I'm unbelievably, somehow, impossibly with you

I know you'll always, irrefutable, impossibly be with me
