A scorching summer

Not as hot as our desires

We could melt the world

Five months ago, I started this new volume of songs to the ether.* I smile every day with each new song. No matter how long or short. No matter how hard or joyful. The deep knowledge that each one is yours, keeps me singing.

Keeps me composing.

Keeps me hoping.

With patience.

With gladness.

With readiness.

For you.

If you’re returning to work today, I hope Monday provides a soft landing for you. If you’re off today, I hope you make the most of that freedom. If you’re traveling today, I hope that you arrive safely to your destination. And if we cross paths today, I hope for magic.

We’ll brave anything

Shifting sands will not break us

This will be our truth

A summer settles

But it’s your heat that I crave

Our slow burning love

I’ve been pondering you a lot today. The magic of you. The delight of you. The peace of you. I’m ready for the pondering to turn to experiencing. The magic of you. The delight of you. The peace of you.

I wish we were flirting today. Whether in person or over text, I’d love to pursue you in that way today.

Come to the water

Let us drink in the other

Quenching two lovers

I continue to do the hard work on myself. I do it for me first and foremost. I need to show up as my best self for myself, but I know that you and our relationship will benefit from the work I’m putting in as well. I want to be the best man and partner for you that I can be.

I sure could use a smile from you today. With all its enchantment and joy. Letting it tug at the corner of my own lips.

Each key stroke is a note in my songs to the ether. Breathing life into every composition of hope that one day, they’ll reach your ears.

Our eyes will caress

Long before our limbs tangle

Intertwining two

“And you can tell everybody this is your song.” -Elton John

Or in this case… songs. Do you hear them? Do you feel the beat of the rhythms meant for only you? Do you softly sing the melodies under your breath? I hope so. After all… each one of these songs to the ether belongs to you.

Our time is close. Closer than we probably realize, but we are both ready for each other. The work has been done internally and now we turn towards each other. It is coming!

I’m looking forward to road trips with you. A quick weekend getaway with a good playlist, snacks, and plenty of laughs. I know that the journey and the destination will be made better when we’re together, my love.
