At Ease

 

Much do I know of the peace in life,

Is it cold to want that from my wife?

I find it fair to hope for such a thing,

I will only find it at my own wedding.

 

It is funny how we came to be this day,

I was lost from a post so far away.

Conducting my affairs in another state,

I find the woman, the reason I wish to wait.

 

We watch each other as we search the other’s soul,

We welcome it so much as we refuse to charge a toll.

We see it coming from the first stare,

The pounding heart beating in there.

 

What I would give to make her mine,

To watch those eyes every time I dine.

To hold these hands when I feel down,

The smell she shall carry in her wedding gown.

 

I snap my head to the front as ‘at ease’ was called,

I realized I was dreaming now my mind has stalled.

I can’t get rid of the thoughts of our love,

Or the heavenly woman made from above.

 

I shall find her when my life is begun,

Show her the love that shot me like a gun.

Like cupid with a sniper rifle I was hit,

The pain in my life I will soon forget.

 

The day has come when I leave my beauty,

Leaving this day to perform my sworn duty.

I will find her when my life is begun,

I shall find her when my training is done.

 

I did learn and I did lead my way through,

I sometimes wonder what I should do.

When I was low and seemingly alone,

I would think of her and her gracious tone.

 

Though we only spoke for a few moments,

We had spoken years without the comments.

Our lives were shared with the depth of our heart,

This day in training I don’t feel too far apart.

 

My dreams continued as I entertained ‘ifs’

Dreams of catching her when falling off cliffs.

Just to be there to say I helped her heart,

Even if she loves me not this time apart.

 

I would give all to hold her this day,

To catch a tear from her eye I would pay.

For her to know that my heart is hers,

I would sell my soul in exchange for hers

 

The day shall come when I can hold her close,

And whisper in her ear “I love you the most.”

To feel her tremble when my lips touch her own,

At that moment I would know my heart isn’t stone.

This is lovely! Did you already meet her or, is she someone you'd like to meet? I can't really tell.

"She" seems like a soul-mate, someone you instantly click with on first meeting. Anyway, it sounds

dreamy! The wording is great and nice work!
