Let Me Make It Up To You

We don't always have to be in perfect balance here, my love.

We don't always have to trade admirations one-for-one.

But I've been lax of late, it's true.
And I've neglected expressing your due.

Not that I could

ever

say all you deserve.

And I know there's an unending well of forgiveness in your heart.
And that you'd never want me to feel guilt on your account.

But still.

My sky of blue
spreads wide and cloudless
at any single whispered word you say.

So this is my amends
for today.

This
and the kiss
I am finding you now for us to share.

People Need to Make Room for Elle!

Hi, fabulous fianceƩ type lady!

This is not a complaint, only I just noticed the last multiple of these Arielleland entries have been me, and there's not been much going on with your blog either.

Which is perfectly okay!

IF it's because you just haven't had the mood come over you.

But ...

I think you have, at least a little bit at least once in a while for at least this blog even if not for your own one.

I'm pretty sure there's so much you want to say to me.

So as a little gift to you, I'm going to bug our other bloggers about being sure they're not hogging the blogging!

We'll see if it works.

Loveydoveylovelylove you,

Your Ariel

Hey!

There's been so much fun going on around here lately, but I was journaling a second ago and I thought, "If I have time to journal so much, I definitely have time to say something extra-squishy romantic to Elle, don't I?"

Then I thought, "Uh-oh. But what am I going to say?"

And then I thought, "Maybe you better just try and say it and see what comes out."

So! Here goes!

Ms. Elle deBelle Worthy, you deserve to know this super-important piece of information: I love you like crazy!

I mean, it's almost literally crazy how much I love you. I think about your face and your eyes and your lips smiling at me or touching mine with that fabulous way you kiss, and it all makes me just about explode from happiness!

If I didn't know this one important secret, I'd feel like I'm totally blowing it in this post, on account of I'm not even close to saying all this in a way that's as big and earth-shaking as telling you how I feel ought to be. But the secret is, it would be impossible to say it that way. The part of my heart that's all for you is a hundred percent too big for words, so anything I say is never going to be enough ... except that I know you're going to say something back about how doofy I am for thinking that, because I ought to know that whatever I want to say is always going to be something you want to hear. (I mean, whatever I want to say about us. There are probably some dumb non-us things I might want to say that you'd be, like, "Oh, god, here she goes again," about. But I guess even then you'd want to hear them.)

Wow! This is way longer than I expected!

It's still not enough to do the whole job of letting you know how wackadoo in love with you I am, but I'm pretty sure you get the general idea.

Also ... have we both been forgetting we're supposed to be engaged?!?

When are we going to plan???

I Can't Believe How Lucky I Am!

When I'm looking in your eyes ...

When I'm listening to you talk ...

When I'm reading your blog ...

When you're on top of me, moving like THAT and making those NOISES ...

When we get to just sit together and be quiet ...

When you hug me ...

When you write me poems or tell me how beautiful you think I am ...

       ... just, all the whens, Elle!

They all make me feel like the luckiest girl in the world.

Today, I Am Soft

The edges of me have rubbed away ...

All my corners, all my angles,

Acute and obtuse alike.

Clouds have more harshness,

Satin, wickeder barbs.

My eyes throw no daggers.

My tongue holds no sting.

Come to me, my love,

While I am like you.

Oh, those green, green eyes of yours

The salt of me dissolves in them like the sea.
The leaves of them grace my limbs with their breeze.
Emeralds falter
jade and tourmalines
alter
my course not a hair
when my soul 
is laid bare
in their grass-glinting sight.

Vines, sage, and tea
mantis eyes
clover leaves
the darting gleams of winged orchid bees
honeydew
mint
time-writ verdigris ...
what power have those
next to thee?

Ah, how I drown in your ocean.

I am coming to give you a huge and long hug!

That's all!

Girl of My Heart

Some people don't believe in luck, and they're fools. Some people don't believe in love ... even bigger fools.

You prove them fools, dearest Ariel. We prove them fools.

Or, maybe ...

We hold so much of the luck and so much of the love that is in this world that there's too little left for everyone else.

No one, after all, can come close to the two of us.

Happy Birthday Again!

I know we had that great big late-birthdays-for-everyone deal last week after I realized we missed your birthday at the start of this month,...
