A Million Poems Poem by Louise Tredoux

It feels like heaven, new life, exhilaration, joy, clarification,
when I am acknowledged by my beloved, I love waiting to
be in his arms, dreaming about what it will be like, every
time he returns, fantasizing about how he will arrive, thinking
about what he will say, how he will whisper, how his eyes
will twinkle with joy when he sees me, how my eyes will
light up when I see him again, a blush covering my face,
almost in tears with overwhelming emotion, how he will
run to me and pick me up, scared that I might run away,
trying to comfort and reassure me after his long absence,
he will start smiling then laughing then kissing me and
whispering sweet words in-between, unable to control
himself, yet steady, holding me and gazing at me and
then going into frenzies of feeling and we shall spend
days just appreciating each other and sharing thoughts
and ideas and explore each other, mind, body and soul;
fascinated by his mind, he’ll write me a million poems
and I’ll write him a million more…
