This flowers force in stirring love

“Sit with your back to the sun,” he said.  “You strive to be brighter.  Mirrors never have great ideas.”

Night and silence. Fondness grows in the darkness of memories.

Dust

I am both He and She within the one body. 

I am both under and over within the same skin. 

I am both elated and wretched within the same bones. 

Both in here and in there, I stand as one. 

Living the same dream. 

Fighting the same battle. 

I am both yours and mine within the same bed.
Beneath the same covers.

Buried beneath the same fears

And uplifted by them.

Play that same song

When my bones are picked dry.

Rest me within the embrace of a combustible star

and beneath the shadow of your mountain.

The Surprise

I had a gift delivered to me at work today which completely caught me off my guard.  For those of you that don't know, it's my birthday tomorrow, and Bobby had decided to book us into the Lilianfels resort at the Blue Mountains next week as a birthday treat.  What I didn't know is that he was going to send me a beautiful bunch of flowers to my work today to surprise and brighten my day. 
I keep leaning over and smelling their wonder.  I honestly think that the greatest gift that I could every have wanted, is the gift of him.
