Little slices of joy
Love appreciates little slices of joy
And dreams are best shared in pairs
Combined create moments of delicious affirmation like
Today
A here and a now as we lay on the floor of our own little home
Together but apart
Doing our own thing
Her reading
Me dreaming of a future where life is no more complicated than daily creative expression
A j and some nachos
I'm her Kanye West Lupe Fiasco
Underground knowledge with mainstream appeal
Her check yaself attitude and humility keep me real
Dreams
maybe I keep it simple and work to make life easy
Low profiles and high morals values ethics
Zest for life three kids and a vacation home
Or I could don my superhero cape and save the world
One mechanical pencil at a time
And bring home customized bookmarks to the only woman whose left dimple
And smile twinkle team up for a binary of cuteness
The likes of which your face has never seen
Little things
When she wraps her arms around me and drags that chill up my spine
Like dragging a hooked fish with nothing but her toe
Horizontal or vertical our lines are parallel
We have frequent bouts of teenage love affair
Its a matter of extreme importance
Freeing up my future to live in the here and now
With her
For moments like
Saturday
When i couldn't tell if it was her high or mine
But I swear her eyes were as pink as the Hello Kitty merchandise she bats her lashes to get me to buy
Tracing the outline of her profile in sunlight
Or candlelight
She's perfection wrapping in sensual intelligence
She turns me on whenever she parts her lips to speak
Or lick top and bottom like there's different flavors
gobstopping my thought process
And as I run my finger along the inside of her panty line
Nothing could be more enjoyable than this little slice of joy
Laying on my back
Looking up at the ceiling connecting the dots to paint pictures of laying on the floor of different rooms
some with ocean views
Others with exposed brick to accentuate that this home
And this love
Was built brick by brick
That every one was once a here and a now
A slice of joy
A dream painted the color of her smile
Reality is
I'd gladly live life by your side if it meant when I'm 65
Grey haired and still lanky
That we could lay on the floor and get high
Touch the earth at the same time
That same twinkle in your smile
Your same thigh pressed to mine
That makes me feel like I could fly
Or at least glide
Down to a soft landing that is this love
See its the little things
Like soft landings and shared dreams
Slices of joy and reality
that let me know that loving you
With my whole being
Will taste nothing short
Of delicious affirmation
