Author's Notes:  This poem, "Not Missing Love's Beat," is a new co-authored write by Liam McDaid and me.  In this poem we touch on a metaphor concerning a man and a woman who are deeply and passionately in love with one another.  And, as with other similar writes we've done in the past, the man and woman in this instance over time experience a convergence of their spirits, souls, and emotions as they unite as ONE while "not missing love's beat . . . ."  (Gary Bateman, December 24, 2014) (Free Verse)

Not missing love’s beat . . . .
Sails to you this golden bright morning rising so high 
Sails waving with light, joy, and such promise and hope 
One smile gasping breathless always for you my love

As you walk with me deeply into Eden’s very paradise
Dancing my heart love on that yellow brick road of dreams
Dying to be with you my love forever and ever and ever 
Dreams inside of eternal youth with my heart pounding so	

Awaiting the very day to come when I stand before you 
Down on bended knee holding your hands warmly smiling 
Kissing each and every single fingertip so exquisitely 
I shall ask you to be forever and always with me my love 

You will be my Queen with dazzling jewels of an ocean wide 
The other heartbeat echoing as two becomes one complete
Our thirst for love and passion is almost unquenchable
And my very psyche is afire with excitement when we caress

Sleeping at night my love brings me into your dream world
Where it’s me and you and you and me together floating
Through the very ether of time breathing rarefied air so
Deliciously as we’re hopelessly mesmerized in true love 

When I awake from our nocturnal dream trance so joyously
We hold one another so lovingly and caress so warmly at once
We kiss passionately and longingly in a most sublime spirit while
Not missing love’s beat . . . .

This is beautiful, although I know not intended, this poem for some reason made me think of the Europa, the Phoenician Princess. I wish you both, you and your families a very very Merry Christmas! Cheers

Thanks Liam . . . "The words from the eternal Leprechauns ring true in the minds of Irish poets as they contemplate their words and verses and decide to wash them down later with some most excellent Irish!!" Cheers Mate -- And Merry Christmas to you and your family from Ingrid and me!! Gary
