Down the Block

living down the block, I think of my Sheri her beauty, her cares, her lovely hair and when she thinks of me we share our time sipping wines and her laughter shatters the air my voice and humor has the things that always takes her there I listen very carefully when she say's that I'm her man I try to lend her sympathies when she's being sad I offer her but simple things she strangely pays me back each day I do without her is a day when I do lack She kisses me when I come and leave A sign for me that I can believe She puts her arms around my neck and leave impressions on my chest There is no one I can compare to her very few women's ways with her occurs she never looks for little gifts Like other women that have their list All she craves is time and wine and a little taste of valentine My feeling that I'm hers and she's mine could only be cursed by the end of time

This is lovely and wistful John. The only way to make it perfect is to make the commitment to each other. I know commitment is a scary word but it can make it permanent. "Faint heart ne'er won fair lady." A beautiful poem my friend. Send it to her. God Bless, JB

I wonder why it would be cursed by the end of time. Would not heaven even be better a more complete understanding of her and everything? Thanks for dropping by. Sara

I read down below here that you are without her again? But then it also sounds like she is yours? I sure do hope so. She sounds so awesome for you!!!

Carol! I did. And it brings tears to my eyes to think that I am without her. I sent her a letter today. But I sometimes think that the distance might come in between us. I guess she's one of the reasons I haven't been writing. But this I know for sure I'll always come home to her until I come and get her to be with me. john

I wish you'd write some more pieces. This was lovely... but with a sad ending... She sounds great.

Sentimental and makes for a lovely poem in romance and appreciation of a soul mate. I like how u put it in blank verse. Appealing and original style. Nice to read u again.
