Adam of Earth

Adam of Earth The curvature of his smile A quiet strength of gentleness within the eyes When I glance upon his face The waves of his arms flowing to his majestic hands A profound peace that enraptures our souls As my hands endure the strength When he retains me close to him Never have I been so captivated By someone before My surroundings have been opened up to a new light A different maginitude of life He has unleashed the insecurities of my path That I so securely hid within my locked chest Behind this clown mask Allowing him to invade the privacy Of the crevasses in my closed doors To which no creature has entered before Still he welcomes me uncannily Knowing the outlines and graphing of my past One could never concept an existing life as this That love not judgement intercedes their eyes Visually looking at what lies beyond the skeleton Not halting by faults found Being blessed with this adam of earth Is more than I emotionally deserve Not knowing the extent of my actions Which generated this unimaginable gift Humble I am, to have a soul of virtue For us to be chosen together at this moment and space in time When true love is sought to be a treasure A fading quality of life I will wrap myself around this presence Embracing the fragility of its worth Guarding it safely to my heart And never withdrawing this Adam of Earth I wrote this poem for my husband...he is my soul mate and best friend.

a very special one from you, Tammy, and one that your dear Adam is sure to cherish. I wrote some for Joe, but they are mostly comical!! Write on, beautiful poetess!

A beautiful poem. Your husband is a very lucky man. Few of us have found a soul mate and best friend in the one one has married. Have a great life together, Jancarl
