John Loving Iii Poet Light Verse

Marital Missbliss

what can i do 
to bring you nearer
is it as simple as a red rose
or as hard as crying real tears

so many things i do go unread
and the loving part of your soul
goes unfed
but in my daily tribute to you
some things i do 
just because i love you

dreaming of you may not be much
but in my dreams my magic 
is your touch
the hug and kiss you give
they're the things that make me live

and in my prayers just to live 
for another day
you are the cause 
and the reason i pray

when i rise and go to work 
there is no toil or going berserk
during my day i think of you
and before i know it my day is through

everyday that i come home
i thank the Lord that you are home
you may not hear my silent prayer
but believe me dearest they are there

my pockets maybe empty 
and my hair might be uncombed
but believe in me darling 
and i'll never leave you alone

my love for you might go unseen
but believe me when i say
you are my everything

Carolyn Devonshire February 28, 2009 at 1:18 PM John, I'm sure your love does not "go unseen." If you show her this sweet poem, she'll know exactly how you feel. Women are not as complicated as men seem to think they are. Sometimes we just need an overture like this to bring the feelings to light. Best wishes, Carolyn

Janice Herzog February 23, 2009 at 8:18 AM Dear John: Am printing your poems, but my earlier comments have been deleted. This is such a beautiful, love filled write. I feel really special. I can feel your emotions really well in it. Love, Janice Herzog xoxo

Robin L. Gass February 14, 2009 at 1:20 PM What sad sweet sentiment in your words, John. I love the opening lines in this. So much true emotion. Great work, my friend! Am I really a poetry warrior, John? I know I've been posting like a mad woman lately! And this is my 1,500 comment since I got here! Thanks for sharing with this warrior. (lol)! Love, Robin

Carolyn Devonshire February 14, 2009 at 8:59 AM John, you are clearly as "Loving" as your name implies. Some poems use abundant images, but somehow I seem to miss their points. Not so with your fine work. Thanks for your comments on "Too Fast for Me." Carolyn
