He called me "ma"
As I smiled that *knowing* smile
"Ma" -- His definition from a Japanese perspective
Means: A ~fullness of space~
Best described as a metaphor
... The area between stepping stones
.... The gap between musical notes
..... A space revealed when a door is slid open
...... Part of the rightful order of things
You see, I never knew ...
Because ma is such a cliche' way of sayin' -- mami'
A complement to papi'
And mami' can mean honey, sweetie, baby, cutie, pretty one, etc.
But when he broke it down for me
With a glass of warm saki & a book of Japanese Love poems
I felt a deep sensation of security
... He read:
"I shall hide myself
within the moon of the spring night
after I have dared to reveal
my love to you
... And I read to him:
Making love with you
Is like drinking sea water
The more I drink
The thirstier I become,
Until nothing can slake my thirst
But to drink the entire sea
~Listening to him read to me~
My soul soared thru the rooftop
I couldn't stop
*Smiling*
Mentally profiling
As I realized the cohesiveness of our "ship"
Long~Time Friend~SHIP
Sweet Relation~SHIP
That cool dip in a pool of Partner~SHIP
Cuz love is friendship that's caught fire
This kinda love goes far beyond just lust & desire
It's quiet understanding, mutual confidence,
Sharing & forgiving
Living with loyaltly through the good and bad
Settling for less than perfection
While making allowances for human weakness
I speak this with assurance -- *knowing* while showing
I'm content with the present as I hope for the future
But I can't brood over the past
Pie in the sky "HAPPY DAYS" don't usually last
It's the day-in and day-out chronicles
Of irritations, problems, compromises, disappointments
Big victories and working toward common goals
That keeps torrential waters from capsizing over rolls
And like two lost souls sailing on fate's ship
We hold on for dear life
Prayin' this Loveboat don't tip
~OVER~

*chuckles*

No, I didn't think that it fell off at the end at all. Quite the opposite. I felt that although the waters won't always be calm, you and your love will be able to navigate those seas! I liked this a lot Ms. Photo. But this especially:

I dunno why but after reading this poem the song, 'Ordinary People' kept popping into my head. It just reminds me of that song, being comfy with the one you love. Knowing love isn't just about kisses, hugs etc but about understanding, patience, compromise, affection, friendship.

I liked the way you used ~SHIP.

re-read

put around them

I agree...that was the point that i was like...ooooooooooo...i wish someone would say that to me...miss k

if you didn't define yourself for yourself you'd be crunched into other peoples fantasies of you an eaten alive.

its ironic that u felt u fell off at the end.. but for me, this is where TRUTH spewed out...

>------>lady.. this is simply, fundamentally... True. Relationships are a piece of cake when all is well.. anyone can have fun.. what truly defines a relationship *is* the struggles.. it *is* the cycles.. it *is* the ~problems~ and our *actions and reactions* to those.. that truly define our relationships. Thank you so much for that look...

coming into it with that in hand.. brings an inherent longevity with it..

simply beautiful.
