Dearest Adrian – The Writings of Tom Grasso

Dearest Adrian,

So many things I wish to say to you…

Like a manless beast that honors the night’s whim,

I pray to thee.

Howling at the moon, stalking my heart’s sweet prey,

I dream of summer nights just holding you by the river,

Kissing your neck, teasing the parts of you that beg for more.

I wish to love you…

More than any man has loved a woman,

I give myself to thee.

Standing bravely against the winds of fear and insecurity,

Holding you tightly against my chest,

Feeling you beat there, giving life to star-lit skies.

I long to touch you…

Find myself so deep within you that you feel me in your bones,

I honor thee.

And when the echoes ring within your mind,

And the song of something only we can see is sung,

You will know that you need never sing alone.

For there is you…

Even as the moments flash before my eyes,

Like a dream.

There is nothing more this man can do,

For in his soul he only hears your name,

And in his breath, he can only taste the sweetness of your kiss.

Please, come to me…

Show me that the journey has not been for naught,

And that in the swirl of wicked winds,

The embers of our truth burn brightly for this moment,

When we embrace, and we kiss,

And we never lose ourselves again.
