The One (Mrs. H)

Because...

from that moment your mind 

had kidnapped mine 

and took me to a place 

only Shakespeare wrote of 

It's How... 

you raised the dead language 

my heart spoke with 

and pronounced every word 

with fluent precision 

The Way...

you are a poem penned 

a peerless piece 

only words of the soul 

gained from lifetimes with you 

It's Why... 

you're my favorite place 

my great escape 

like a backyard hammock 

embraced and supported 

It's in the Way... 

our long conversations 

fill the empty 

and your soulful kisses 

tell me to trust your lips 

Because...

each time our tongues collide 

and our lips touch 

I can taste our future 

a hundred years we're still 

It's How... 

your laughter low and warm 

calms my crazy 

lights me like candlelight 

replenishes my soul 

Because... 

you're more than my best friend 

or my soul mate 

you are my musician 

always ticking inside 

It's Why... 

each time I see you smile 

or hear you speak 

you conduct a rhythm 

only my heart can play 

It's the Reason... 

my heart is the base line 

your voice the song 

you serenade my soul 

the vibration melts me.
