A Declaration!

So, today as our house cleaners were walking up to our doorstep with all of their tools in hand, (yes we have house-cleaners. Stop judging me. These kids are mess monsters on a mission to destroy all in their wake). Anyhow, at the exact moment they walked up to our door, the sprinklers went off. My man (I said that like "My Maaaaaan" by the way), about to leave for work, happened to be outside as well, and without a moment's hesitation he ran over to physically block the water from hitting the women as they walked by. Like, with his actual body. Now, if you know my maaaaan, you know that when he walks out of the door into the wide world, he's super fresh. I mean that in every sense. Like, he's freshly showered, cologned, has some fresh-ass outfit on, and very likely some fresh to death shoes to go with it. (Unlike me, whose idea of walking out the door fresh usually involves the cleanest pair of yoga pants I can find, and a piece of gum that makes me feel like I remembered to brush my teeth...I blame the mess monsters) And this day was no exception. Complete with his "sick ass Jordans" (his words, not mine), he was looking...well, fresh. Yet, he still threw himself in front of that water...the fashion equivalent of throwing yourself in front of a speeding train. Why? Why would he do such a thing? Well, its because he is a bad ass fucking human being.
There is not a person who has crossed paths with him that isn't aware of this fact.
And that's a fact.
Another fact?
He's mine. MINE!! ALLLLL MINE!!! Muah hahaahha.....Ok I'm kidding. (But for reals, he is. I will cut a bitch).
Contrary to what you might believe, this is not some jealous tirade, nor am I metaphorically peeing on him to mark my territory. (Well, kinda). This is actually a declaration of my love for this bad-ass human being, because if he jeopardizes new Jordans without a second thought, all for the good of another, just imagine the lengths he goes for me.
We've been up, down, here, there, back, forth, upside-down and crazy together. We've been high and low, we've sunk and we've flown together. We've pulled through the shittiest battles together, and now we TRIUMPH together.
This is my declaration!
(Yup... peeing on his leg as you read this).






A Declaration!

This is my Declaration!
With a capital
D
and exclamation

This is my declaration of
LOVE
[Yes. I said]
LOVE
Even though these days its ultra cool
to fiercely guard hearts
as to not look like a fool



Cliche of course
Unoriginal to a
T
No matter to this gal
For I'm in love
you see

A good old fashioned
Love Poem
to that one who deserves it
most
Earned his stripes
like a G
[through effort]
Prying open a heart
determined
to remain
closed

The sun of my iciest
places
making puddles of my
resolve
Setting fire to my
foolish
notions
Of what it means
to be in
love

My teacher of the word
Unconditional
Sharing his heart openly and without
Shame
Unafraid to show
tenderness
Like the true
Man
that he is
The one able to handle
This flame

Bears witness to my
shine
Even on my
dullest
of days
DEMANDS
of me
that within myself I see
the
queen
he himself
set
ablaze

The kindness in that
HEART
sweetens the most bitter of
souls
He jumps right in
with a kind of
special
labeled
"him"
And he'll have you at
hello.
