I Dedicate This To Richard Lamoureux's Blessed Marriage

when she speaks to you
her words are shooting stars to wish upon
you feel her in your heart

when she moves in close
 you want to faint in the hold of this woman
you feel her in your heart

when she stares into your eyes
you see yourself in a whole new light
you feel her in your heart

when she holds your hand
you experience lightning streaking through you
you feel her in you heart

when she touches your lips 
her slender fingers are like rays of shine 
you feel her in your heart

when she hugs you
you are blanketed in a sense of clarity
you feel her in your heart

when she kisses you 
you know her lips cool quench your desire
you feel her in your heart

when she moves her body into yours
you both rise you both float above the ground 
you feel her in your heart

when she is near 
you feel it in 
you feel her in
she is 
your heart

when she is away
you feel it in
you feel her in
she is 
your heart

and 

always
you shed tears 
of joy
from your heart
always

and

you are with the only woman 
the only woman you don't need
you are with the only woman
the only woman you just WANT

and

you are blessed!

Passionate writing as always from you. You don't do anything willy nilly! this makes me want to go take a look at Richard's poem. It was so inspiring to you. A good man AND a good woman are life's greatest blessings to humanity and to the spouse they are with!

Maurice, I feel the same way about Richard's marriage. In a world where infidelity is rife...where unfaithfulness is common, his marriage has spoken to me about the importance of true love and keeping to your vows. He is a man of integrity, and that is a quality I have LONG admired about him. You've written this so so beautifully well! :) I'm so touched by the content and the style of the poem. Oh that more had such a marriage made in heaven. Hugs
