Whole Again

Cloudless under a sky, I turn to you,
You touch me and I am whole again.
The shape of my name on your lips
Is nectar, and I have an eternal thirst
For your sweetness,
For your fleeting smile that runs me to ground,
For the moments when it is just you and I.
The clock ticks down the minutes
Until you leave me again, albeit only for a few hours.
But for all that time I am lonely,
My body numb with disorientation,
The house empty, my mind festering,
A hollow sound is loneliness.
I go outside, sit on the deck,
Watch the fish trial gold through the weeds,
But even my beloved outdoors
Cannot compensate for your absence.
I drink a cup of coffee, read poetry
Listen to the buzzard circling his cry on the day.
I am about to lose my way completely,
When the door opens and your lilting voice
Expels the demon of loneliness,
You call my name and something extraordinary happens.
A smile lubricates the rusty surface of my face,
I can hear the birds, reach out to touch the buzzard,
The fish are sheltering in the lily pads,
You are back and I am whole again.

This is so beautiful. Your relationship sounds like you complete each other. Every line of the poem is beautiful.

While I am finding myself liking every bit of this poem, I especially like this line:
A smile lubricates the rusty surface of my face
You sum up the missing of and the loving of a significant other superbly in this poem.

Dear Dennis,
To have found and to behold such a feeling of adoration, should be told, loudly, and with beautiful music. You should write this one to lyrics, for no lovelier song could anyone write than this one~!
Most people live a whole lifetime without experiencing a Love this Great!
I'm so happy you are so blessed, and that you're telling her now, before it's too late!
loverly in every way!
Warm love
