mere inches away on the map

the moon is distant tonight,
but You are mere inches away
on the map,
and my heart could not
ache
more for You
now,
as we jump another hurdle,
another bump in the road,
and pledge again
to each other
eternal love,
regardless of consequence,
circumstance,
or happenstance;
would I travel those inches
to be with You?
of course I will,
since you remain
the biggest thrill of my life,
the most astounding,
amazing woman
ever to breathe tightly
at my neck;
mi amor,
I have said it before,
and I will say it again,
our love endures forever,
and now our journey
together,
once more
can begin anew,
Your heart in mine,
and mine in You.



April 4, 2010, for the Wifey.
