Love Surrounding
In the dark
A simple word said in the dark
to bring about a fire from just a spark
and with a will this fire quenched
And in the morning, as Sun to rise
to my joy and surprise
a fire burns in her eyes
Smile I do as I arise
to quench again as love supplies
closeness as we exhausted lie
Together
To Thrill
That first night was a surprise
First a kiss, and then
not that instant to break in
our love
But eased in
with wonder’s dinner set a plate
with smiles and touches, it was great
As in his eyes his love shows
as I to steam, almost to blow
as I await
A dance or two to chase
to hold him in my embrace
excite him with love and lace
Dessert is eschewed
as in the nude we dance
as to thrill together, love enhance
Love making to satisfy
eve’s need, could not stand by
waiting
To rest but moments in between
a messy bed, a well trashed scene
this the best we’ve ever been
Languid after, to relax
realize this vital act
to culminate a waiting time
Added it is to spirit-love’s kind
where heart and mind
each other truly find
Our bodies to weather storm
as this act of love is freshly borne
love not waiting, and we are born
One day, One Time
Someday, sometime
we will sit peacefully by
each other doing little
One day, one time
we may find each others touch
much, too much
And I pray that day will never come
as you pray that I truly am your special one
every one of our days
Between that one day and now
let us play imaginatively and with vigor
a test up to which we measure
To find each day along the line
I am yours, and you are mine
busy, cherished and loved
As We Onward Live
A prayer I say into a Universe
of friends, to ask a simple thing
that we, as us becoming
together become all to each other
to those for whom we care
to give all that we can spare
in support
Support of each other, the children close
Ours? Who knows, but cared for
given any circumstance
your hand in my, our stance
as we onward live
to make, then find
our future’s strong stance
Life Sharing
Long the wait has been
sure we’ve become since then
of each other and our love
certain we are we fit like gloves
And now she’s here from across the pond
life and living can go on
future bound and on track
to reach our dreams, no turning back
Our hearts beating well in time
plans and intentions well aligned
what a wonder of a find
you to have found me in nick of time
Each to have touched another mind
to change from resistive to welcome kind
to have our hearts beat in time
with shared rhythm of life, a freshened find
Entwined
Entwined body, heart and mind
he, the very best man I could find
this is true, from what I find
his ideal expressing mine
I am happy
As we chatted away for hours
speaking of times that were ours
before the coming of his spirit
into my life so we could share it
Together
To find each is happy with change this time
from those in past left well behind
who had changed away from well aligned
in their own day and time
Leave each unwell back then
Those times in truth, we weathered
each of us to have hearts withered
form past pain that were delivered
as we were deserted
We recovered
To find in time, this one, this time
one where hearts and minds find
within, alignment between us fine
love in my heart to grow, once you to find
Glad I am
That you are here, the one for me
the only one who touches me
inside and out, you set me free
of that ever search, for him, the he
I’m in love, entwined your life
Morning Coffee
So long apart, wide oceans
between
It seemed that time would never end
just mean
Vagaries of time and space there
on which we lean
Hopeful to end this time away
sing hope
Into this world to have it go
in our favor
To bring a change to better scene
life sharing
And true, it has, and now our plans
arrive
And we to sit and sip together
morning coffee
Smiling, as upon his lap I sit
coffee time sharing
Excited, Invited
Morning coffee sitting there
getting cold
Oh my lap she sits, inviting
she is exciting
When I look at the real her
stimulated is my spur
As excitedly I stir
to rise
“How is this even a moment’s surprise,
I wonder? Ha ha!”
And coffee gets cold while the mornings
gets old
As invited, both excited to dance
and play
“Damn! You’re beautiful”, I often say
and again kiss you right away
We, Becoming
Finally free to move about
traveling far and farther out
beyond old realm and place
a changing world to face
As I fly to half a world away
dreaming, dreaming all the way
as travel, music plays
and I in my head all the way
I had lived a quiet life
of recent years, little strife
and then he came into my life
to change my heart, to bring alive
And now comes the time to land
hopeful is waiting there, my man
just beyond the exit gate
and in his arms best timing’s fate
I, excited for this fate
us together and feeling great
that at its end seems eternal wait
and expectations make me late
Then, to see him standing there
his aged self, seems young and fair
to my eye, he is pure gold
on Us, as We, I am sure sold
Butterflies in every part
as I respond to him, my vision’s art
once together, never part
waited too long, my lonely heart
The Gate
At the exit gate, waiting
long is time my love needs sating
for you to arrive, here and alive
much time is gone, and we survived
to come to this day where hope to thrive
I hear the announcement your plane arrive
my butterflies have come alive
in expectation of this time
when you come out through exit line
and we to see, then embrace in kind
My heart to act as if was twenty
of my frame demanding plenty
to keep me standing when energy empty
as I need a place to sit
none around, I could just spit
Neither sit or spitting do, as I am here for you
we each have been waiting long, it’s true
but today is the end of days most blue
as end comes of missing you
each other, we touch
The Sea
Walking slow, the beach to comb
no longer prospect future alone
your hand in mine, a new life is sown
as I set you upon your homey thrown
Queen in life, my best love
Where we to join in games enthrall
casting nets and throwing balls
within the halls of life ahead
soon our time in life for wed
Promised early, this coming state
As come soon before a Pastor
bow we each, yet neither Master
to work together throughout life
hand in hand, husband and wife
Long we’ve waited, now it’s right
And the sea before us lay
this place for dreaming’s and of play
where before its might, its tempestuous life
each say “I do” to make things right
Remember do, I love you “Two”
As a pair we are become one
underneath the Moon and Sun
as here we are with future set
bringing to life all we can together get
Ever Change
Ever change does time and life
an older man and younger wife
to test the frame of what should be
and find in the other means to free
With each to find just what could be
as building life with growing seeds
where can be found new ways and deeds
to grant for each fulfilled needs
Each to strengthen the other where week
build them bold where once were meek
make stable life’s shaky ground
find ways to enjoy life all-round
As tomorrow is not set in stone
we build our house and make our thrones
enable flesh and strengthen bones
no longer solo, not then alone
We go out then into broader life
stronger now as husband, wife
to go forward ever strong
encouraging life to go quite long
As ever we go forward so
into our future, each to show
care and succor, the other knows
as into our future together we are to go
Epilogue: Hers;
Wanted was respect, a home where judgment was not or only rarely, if ever, applied so that I can feel free to act as I will, as I have in the past and not have those actions weigh against me. Of all the men I have spoken to about my life, you are that one who gives me room to breathe, room to have erred in life and survived, room to have succeeded too, whose only judgment is that I can do well, and even better if I try. In your eyes I exist as someone to be loved and nurtured toward becoming more each day, month and year ahead. May our days be many as I experience your charm, feeling strengthened, not alarmed, by what you think and say. I love you ever. You bring light to who I am, and strengthen my way forward. My hand in yours, we will go through our days.
Epilogue: His;
Love, sought, and love found, each can be their own grace to the spirit and form of us all. I had not known that it was you I was seeking, dreaming of through so many years. Know that any other with whom I have been was in truth only a substitute for the you I have found and am with today. How many ways can I tell you I love you? One day, just maybe, I will find this out with you.
