• I was looking for a file on my laptop computer and found a poem I wrote almost exactly 4 years ago, while I was still living in Dominica. For whatever reason, I never posted it, but I'd love to share it now:
  
  another dominican night
  written: 01-13-07

  last night i lay awake, thinking ‘bout what it’d be like
  to be the husband of pure beauty, to finally live with my soul’s delight
  i thought about our dreams. goals, fantasies and desires
  and you touched my heart in a special way, the way only you can inspire
  thoughts of you, our future life, flashed before my eyes
  i’d feel the joy, excitement, and utter happiness seep into my skin
  a glimpse of your smile (sigh, that smile) as you turn to look my way
  you put those arms around me, and I almost feel it deep within
  wishing now i still had you on the line, under that power on me you possess
  acting all cute and making me laugh, or even in silent contentness
  so this is the part where the tears come in, and i fight the lonelies i’ve suppressed all day
  yet welcome the feeling of still being okay, knowing my love’s just a prayer away
  knowing our love is true and protected
  continually perfected: our wait and sacrifice, surely honored and directed
  despite the miles, oceans, seas and countries, my heart always feels so close to yours
  like the unnumbered stars in the sky above us, or grains of sand on shore
  then darkness and night carry me deep into sleep, but i think of you even then
  my continual prayer goes on unspoken, to our God of wisdom and control
  though truly unworthy i humbly give thanks, and ask Him to keep us both, Amen*

  And now, I'm getting married to her in less than 3 months .
