Atlas

December 2012

You are my happy Atlas

I trust in your shoulders

I know you can carry me 

And it makes me finally relax

Worst possible anything

You can take

And put away

Like it’s nothing

And it makes me hold on harder

Because you’re the first of your kind

To ever really do that

Now I’m introduced to joyful tears

And desperately trying to dam

This river of love you created in my heart

My levees break all the time

And I come rushing out

All over the floor and soaking you to the hip

I cover you completely 

And you love me back for it

Such beauty you’ve held onto

Up close to your chest 

You were waiting for me to come grab it

And when I finally did

You wouldn’t let go

We fought for you to let me have it

And you finally conceded

Such sweetness you create

Your eyes and your lips

They made me love you immediately 

I just want to live next to your face

Feel your dimples touch my cheeks

As we smile our life away together

I can think of nothing better

There is no other 

My very breath is for you alone

I create it just for you

As I will create life just for you

In the center of my belly 

I will whisper to it every day

And tell it how much it is loved

And one day it will love us back

And we will again be whole
