Anniversary
Twelve years ago, today, the lovely Melis and I tied the proverbial knot under the auspices of the state. In February of this year, in the crescendoing hullaballoo over homosexual marriage, I burnt the license from the state, stating at the end of the post noting this, “Marriage is not contained in a piece of paper."
I will not state we are soul mates, because we are not. I will not state that I need the lovely Melis, because I do not. What I will state is that the lovely Melis is an individual whose company I thoroughly enjoy, whose appeal to my senses is still sharp, whose respect I continue to strive for, and whose beauty continues to blossom like a well cellared bottle of red wine.
Happy Anniversary, Melis.
