It's in the mutual grunts of acknowledgement
During the morning coffee ritual,
It's when you say without speaking,
In the dark, that you want me in you,
It's the indescribable breathy, gasping noises
That issue forth from both our throats
When I find your moist, burning core, and enter,
It's in our laughter when the kids tell us
A lame joke they'd heard at school,
And we don't laugh to condescend,
But because their voices are the sweetest song to us,
It's the melody that impels me to come home to you,
That reminds me that-- damn it!-- I've got to get home!
And nothing else and no one else matters.
It's the words that only I hear,
That confirm and return my immortal dedication,
It's my second heartbeat:
It's you.

Wist and mist, you've done it again...
Sometimes, it is what we often take for granted that has the most meaning in our lives. This has underlying attraction that stands the test of daily living, and like Musestalker, I envy that. How perfectly lovely to find your home as someone's "second heartbeat" and to know the feeling is mutual. -

Damn, damn, damn! I am jealous of your wife! You just wrote a poem about the thing I've searched for through two abyssmal marriages. What a powerful piece! I really loved this poem, although I think I'm gonna die of envy. Thanks for sharing.
