Darlin'

oh, darlin',
please don't tell me our days
have been reduced 
to the very ordinary! 

i'll have none of that, 
for loving you 
is far from ordinary...

what my heart feels 
is far from normal, rhythmic beating. 

what my body feels
is a rejuvenation 
of every pore yearning to be fused 
with you...

no- 
do not give me 
the ordinary, 
complacent, 
simple 
sunrise/sunset 
of days 
simply 
following one another - 

for i am blessed 
with a love 
so pure, 
so amazing 

that
i
gasp
at its sheer beauty!
