Constance La France Poet Haibun

I Love My Country Guy

"Here is my hand to lead you
Here are my arms that need you"

                      Cilla Black _  I Only Live To Love You 

When I met Henry I thought to myself, this will not work.  We seemed so
different.  I  considered that I was a sophisticated girl !  I  love art and love
poetry and red wine.  Henry on the other hand was a Jack Daniel's  sort of
guy.  A fix up old cars, motorcycles, and horses kind of guy. A country music
guy. A cowboy! But Henry liked poetry, especially mine.  He liked nature and
 he liked me.  I  think that  I knew he was for me when I looked into his sea
blue eyes.  I loved how his smile would fill a room.  He became my best 
friend  and my lover and I love him more than the sun and the moon.  Each
kiss is like the first one. My life is better with Henry in it and I am never ever
letting him go, because who is going to love me more. I need  him so
much. When he is not with me I miss him and whisper I only live to love 
you darling.  He was that missing puzzle piece that I  needed .Sometimes
he must leave me for his job and my arms ache for him ...


the dawn is breaking 
and morning birds are singing ...
                       tires on gravel road
