“Close to you”

 

We’re standing at the porch

Of our house.

I see your head among

The stars,

The flow of the cigarette.

You smile and hold my head

With both your hands.

You kiss me gently…

My eyes are closed up

Against the moonlight.

 

I’m drunk by your scent,

You drug me to a point

Where I can hardly

Remember my name.

 

Your eyes …

You are like a

Glass filled with clear

Light…

 

I snuggle closer,

I need to cuddle in the

Warmth of the night

With someone

I feel

Blessed to hold,

With someone

Who thanks God

For me.

 

Your voice is somehow

Thick and choked,

A voice I haven’t heard

Before

When you ask me

“Are you happy?”

 

Few years ago

It wouldn’t have been

Possible

To answer

Because I didn’t

Really

Understand

The word.

 
Finally understanding ...
I whisper ...

“Yes, Zeke. I am happy.”



Have a magical night, a wonderful morning and a grand day, f-list.

Love,
Julchen

This was just perfect and I melted at the sweetness *hugs you*

The whole thing is beautiful.

I particularly love the way you say:

I need to cuddle in the
Warmth of the night
With someone
I feel
Blessed to hold,
With someone
Who thanks God
For me.

Our house! Oh you make me so happy already *g*

This is really lyrical, the head among the stars, the eyes closed up against the moonlight . Little elements of the whole picture wind around my imagination like the flow of the cigarette.

You are like a
Glass filled with clear
Light…


There is a feeling of deep peace and homecoming in this. The certainty and relief of being with

someone
Who thanks God
For me.


That is the serenity of being known for who you are. I feel that Zeke asking if he's happy isn't so much a real doubt but needing to hear him say it, to assure himself that he's provided all that he can for his love to feel this way, to hear his own happiness echoed back to him. It's wonderful that they have each taught each other the meaning of happiness.

Beautiful and evocative. Thank you, Julchen!

Thank you, my dear, for your lovely words. Sometimes we just NEED to hear those magical words, don't we? I'm glad Casey found Zeke and I'm all the more glad that Zeke tells him every day what Casey means to him...
*hugs tight*

It's beautiful, Juls, imagining them there, Zeke silhouetted against the stars, the two of them cuddled together. I love it that Casey now knows what it is to be happy.
