Poem: Connection
Updated: Sep 4, 2019
Experiencing you is the best thing to happen
A new level of self satisfaction
Not in the typical sexual way
Something deeper where nothing can stand in the way.
You see, you came at a moment where I never knew what I needed
I was so blinded by what my wants it superseded everything
Everything... but you because you are the definition of love
That love that people talk about.
That thing that some post about
The never ending, non-judging, always loving
That feeling that makes you want to be better
That something that shifts your entire atmosphere.
Coming in like a wrecking ball, we weren't sure what this was
Two years of idleness, while being each others biggest fan
Seeking out what others wanted for us, looking for that man
Cheering each other on, while we sit in the stands.
Knowing you should be here and wanting you to come home
But this is a journey we had to take on our own
Letting each other go but still keep it close
Made it easy for us to find our way home.
That night in the chair, all black with it's leather back
Smell of honeydew, dim lights and soft sounds
That of the music mixed in with your melodies
Made me realize that this was something deep.
A connection that exploded the night was full of exploring
A night like many but this one was different
Bonded at the same time the waves came from the ocean
Riding the single surf board and splashing my face
It gave me a rush of adrenaline in that place
I knew you felt it the soft expression of my love for you
I knew you could hear it without the words coming from my mouth
Because what I felt, you felt too.
The connection is different when it's meant to be
Whether a lifetime or a season either one is fine with me
Experiencing this new road as far as our eyes can see
I'm glad our dead ends drove us to our scenery
Even if the service is shut off
You can never interrupt a true connection.
