No Me Without You


Pyramid of Peace Poetry
Ink Empress: Sponsor


This poem is an attempt to describe 
Marital connection.  I hope to some
Extent success in so doing.


There is no me without you.
There is no you without me.

That's what holy matrimony
Is doing to and for us, because
For more than 54 years, we are
Two mortals becoming one.

I own your signature, and I feel
Your fingers around my soul like
A massage machine to comfort me,
And like a washing machine cleansing me.

Like two fists of 8 fingers tucked away
By 2 thumbs, I feel safe and protected.

Like everything else in space and time,
Our relationship was not made in a day,
Nor our maturity reached hastily.

Your signature, presence, touch, and your
Presentation of me is my seal of approval.

People have said that I appear best when
You are by my side.  I believe it to be true.
I know that there truely is no me without you.
It is a reality signed, sealed, and delivered.
