My One and Only Bright and Beautiful Shining Star

I’m sorry I’m not by your side now; I know you must be disappointed Because I’ve chosen to spend my time alone this evening Reading, writing and thinking About how we’ve grown… Old together over the years Since I first laid eyes on you And we held hands. I hope you understand It’s not that I don’t want to lay down by your side And hold and comfort you, It’s just, I’ve things on my mind That are longing to come out As if a flower is about to bloom. And you know how when something’s Bothering me or needs pondering, I’m going to give it all I’ve got Until I’ve been fulfilled With all the yearning, burning in my mind and being. And thank you for seeing Me for being the man I am and you For being the woman that you are… My one and only bright and beautiful forever Shining star. © Terrell Martin, 01/10/2025

Now thats a real poem of unconditional love right there….of knowing, understanding and accepting the one you love….their wants, their needs without issue…..being able to share time together or apart! Nice one Terrell! Debx

What a beautiful poem! Terrell, your love poetry is very heartfelt. In order to maintain relationships and follow our own interests, we need to be blessed with some time for ourselves.

Aww what a tender love poem Terrell and I have to admit my husband and I like time out to ourselves, it is important to have some 'me time' to pursue your own thoughts and hobbies and to keep a relationship alive:-) hugs jan xx
