My arms miss you
whenever you aren’t in them.
My eyes ache
for the sight of you.
My hands replay the feel
of your skin.
My ears listen for
your laughter.
My mouth seeks
your lips. Continue reading →

Somewhere in the heap of yellow
pads
you will find
my heart converted.

In you, my lovely,
I lose all
doubt.

Her breathing descends into
the slow rhythm
of peace
of joy
of love, true and first.

I marvel at the very
being of her
and that she is here.

My fingers play
delicately over her
smooth raven hair,
to keep her slumber
undisturbed.

There are
and have been
many hard things
in my life.

Being with her
is easy.

Clouds sneak in
to mask the sun
the advance guard for
the hurricane
that scatters your
peace
across the map.

Hunker in the harbor
of my arms
endure the lashing
winds
ride out the rains
anchored in my
heart.

#mylove

Lay your head
on my chest
close your eyes
listen to the heart
that beats only for you.

Let your beasts
let your walls
let the voices
crumble
tumble
into the abyss
under the weight
of their lies.

Forgive me.

I lost hope
that you could even
exist
much less love me.

Here you are.
Our wait is over.
We face the sunrise
hand in hand.

#mylove

Only later could words
form
to quantify your mind-stopping
form
mahogany eyes
impish lips
hands of fine china.

I followed the trail
from curve to luscious curve
all the way to your
heart.

#mylove

Nine stones on a silver string
Nine gems bleeding purple rays
Nine more ways you amaze me
Nine fresh reasons to love you
Nine times an hour you take my breath away
Nine purple stones to decorate my love

I see stars
between two hundred foot
douglas fir spires
and I thank every
one for
you.

#mylove

Escape behind the wall
of dreams
my love
shrug off the pain
meet me
where the world ends
and we
begin.

#mylove

I see beyond
the torment
the wreckage of
her history
the wretched beasts who
see nothing
but a temporary
possession.
