All I Wanted

I am holding my breath waiting to inhale the most luxurious of scents.  Incense and myrrh and heavens holy host.  The world surrounds me: people, places, ideas puncture my exterior but my interior is consumed by goodness and dreams of a place I once visited.  Once bitten, twice shy yet as the venom consumes my body, I feel joy and it is unbearable...unbearably good.  The greatest joy the dream of love shared forever between bed sheets and life and my last words are of love, as I pass on to the other side, you beside.  Between now and then the dedication like the Great Wall, like Continent's breadth, like you beside me our fingers interlocked.  Lovers, that's all i ever wanted to be.
