It Was Just A Day

It was just a day
when I found you through the waves of black
and you offered your hand to mine
I saw you smile, the first of many
our eyes intertwined around each others light
all the other people fading into the walls
hearts forever tethered to one another.

It was just a day
when the tree caught the rain for us
as we lay in the rivers of green beneath
words sourced from our hearts, swapped with tears
a kiss, lingering in thought and taste
shared only with the lonely moon that guards
his thousands of minions, guiding my finger along your face.

It was just a day
when the crows ruled our breath
each wing desperately reaching for the horizon
your hair dancing to the tune of the sunset
a concert just for us, that Autumn eve
blessed was the sky's eternal struggle for our eyes
eyes that sought their kin above nature's opera.

It was just a day
when bended knee at last arrived
with the ring raised by my trembling fingers
a declaration of love, falling short in words
the only day "yes" could bring so much joy
our deal sealed with a tender kiss
lives forever paired, souls forever touched.

It was just a day
when our families gathered atop the shaded hill
vowels expressed through streaming tears
you could have flown, draped in your white dress
a fleeting moment, in which my eyes saw your wings
and my lips tasted those of sainted beauty
before the horse drawn carriage lead us to our life.

It was just a day
but, oh, what a day it was
not governed by light or time
nor by any law, man or nature
it was a day for our love
and though it has passed us now
I can forever live it with one glance at your eye.
