What it is to love you

     I find it hard to tell you, in words whispered softly, how much you mean to me.  I can't say the words 'I love you,' and feel that those three little words make up for all the things that they mean when I say them.
     Your terrible, lovable puns when someone says something that you can't possibly let pass by... The way your eyes sparkle mischievously as you poke fun at something stupid I just said... The way you sometimes pounce to hug me just for the sake of it... All these things make me love you more.
     The profile of your face as you concentrate fiercely on whatever it is that you're doing... The fact that you'd rather listen to books than read them... The fact that you love nothing more than to spend your free time with me, just being together... These things endear you closer to my heart each day.
     The way you look at me and your eyes darken and I know that whatever you're thinking is about to be spoken, each word shivering me to the core, turning me to putty before e'er you lay a finger upon my body and thrilling every single part of me... The way you render me speechless with the softest caress; all thought flees from my mind, save that there is only you... All this sears you indelibly in to my soul. 
     I love all of you, inside and out... You are so beautiful to me; you shine like the brightest beacon in the darkest night, lighting up the shadowed parts of my soul.  You know my demons intimately, and yet you still choose to hold my hand.  I could never love you more than I do right now, and yet I love you more each day for things that don't even make sense to me.  
     You are my everything, you look at me and my world is whole... I could never imagine taking another step in this life without you by my side

Darkness & Light

I have heard it said softly,
we fear the unknown;
The shadows, the darkness,
the silence alone...

They say it's not our darkness we fear,
but our light...
But how can I fear darkness
embraced by the night?
