Love Poem: Introduction

Introduction

I want to introduce you to the person I have become
Before my heart seals the entrance to my soul
A precautionary measure;
Catch this fleeting moment
Before I become numb
I look upon you 
with
Indescribable mystery
Like paintings made ages before us
Anticipating
The kiss to consume all
Lips quivering and pointed towards your delicious mouth 
Inebriated with euphoria, stumbling blindly
Anticipating 
To delve into every cavity
Of your complexity

Petrified 
Is my heart pure enough to match one as chaste as yours?
My trepidating heart
Shakes
Immeasurable against all of fantasies. I want to be desirable
Enough to startle you
a sharp intake of breathe
so my own exhalation can calmly continue
For so long
skeptical but now
Seeing myself through your eyes
Hidden beauties
That only you can guide me to
Realizing that true happiness
Is a journey
i'll take as many steps
as needed to get me to you
To show you my imperfections
Is courageous?
Valiant ?
I hold up the proverbial branch
Needing the assurances that like those ancient paintings we will last
Withstanding pressures of the external world
Yet
In spite of everything can considered even more beautiful
Evermore
I continue to reach my fingers towards your back to pull you closer
To feel your heart racing
Against my own
Finally understanding what they mean when two hearts 
Are one.
Passé
But I don’t care
I love you
But that does not define me
I am the sighs from your lips as you slumber
I am the creases of your smile
I am the wind brushing against your hair
Soft like a downy pillow
Resting my head on your shoulder
protected
this is where I belong
at the end of 
the day

What I am
Is nothing;
You can describe
I am
So in  love
Im drowning in the idealism of amour!
basking in it
