Slates

He's always there -
Waiting,
Sparkling blue eyes
Behind
Grey windscreen,
Non descript,
Radiance
Full,
Trying
For me
Too hard,
Hard and ready,
Clinging sweaty asthmatic chest
Brimming kindness
Gift full generosity
Greedy love, demanding,
Laughter full
Patience
Compassion.

I nearly say
those words
All the time,
And I hear
Him nearly say
them back, too.
We are
to each other,
the greatest of tests -
Greed
for me,
His jealous
monster
Greening my freedom.

We play, I am liberated,
defences broken,
lifetime shackles thrown -
his real gift to me.
And my gift?
I am
"the most
interesting
person
I have ever met". He said.
That'll do!

Who
Can tear us apart?
Orwhat?
Fate or death darkness or
Our weakness.

I have waited
All my life
For such
Funlove,
sincerity.
My green eyes and dancing hips
ready
for This.

The wind has blown me
in a swirl
with him
and he has given me wings.
