Crystal Dove

I rode upon a crystal dove
Straight into the arms of love
Offered up my heart and soul
Every man should have a goal

I have found honor in my life
I respect and adore my wife
For her these words are true
I am the thing’s I say and do

To open the lock turn the key
Take a look up inside of me
For I have nothing left to hide
Love has helped me find pride

As for my life these words are true
I’m proud my heart belongs to you



Brian suggested I should try a
Free Form Sonnet - Written for
my wife Antoinette - Her love
transformed me into the man
I am today - I'm very proud
and very lucky to hold her heart

Thank you so much for your ever kind comments. As you have noticed many of my poems, as i call them are about so many subjects. I am one of these souls who can retain information. Many of the War pieces i have written is knowledge i knew when i was 11 or 12. History is a big part of me. My ancestors go back as far as Lord Nelson. Hardy is on my mothers side. Thank you once again Michael >> James
