I Vow
To love you passionately as a blind man
hearing a reassuring whisper, warming from within
Emotions painting pictures with words,
until I can see your heart clearly
I Vow
To be deaf, so I’m able to hear
the pounding of your heart, as you slowly mouth the words I long to hear
Entering straight into my veins, until
my heart hears your soul
I Vow
To lose my sense of smell, so I can feel
your essence, and see your scent in the lingering air
Soaking into my skin as I sweat your
fragrance, until I breathe the aroma of your tender kiss
I Vow
To be mute, speechless, in awe of your
elegance, my vocals not worthy to sing to your beauty
Tongue tied by a single glance, my lips
were sealed until you taught me to speak the word, love
I Vow
To taste nothing, savoring all that you
are: lost in the sensation of your sweet skin
Life is our waiter; we continue to feast
together until we can dine all night, becoming one
I Vow
To love you numbly; your touch is paralyzing,
my back breaks every time you massage my spine with feelings of painful pleasure
Nervous, Unmoving, until you walk with
me, to forever
I Vow
To leave my senses, I would undoubtedly
give them all up for the simple fact of knowing we’ll always be together
Our hearts intertwined in peaceful bliss,
until we both grow old and senseless...
