Connie Marcum Wong Poet Free verse

Oh My Love

Oh my love, we joyously still share it all.
We still laugh over the silliest things...
We only cry occasionally during 
A sentimental movie. We need not cry
Because life has instilled a tolerance for
Loss and pain that tears can't bridge.

We behold each other without a gaze
Yet our auras mingle in a swirl of colors.
I sense your warmth across the room
As you sense mine and my presence
Before you notice I am intrinsically near.
This tender intimacy permeates our 
dwelling, unites our hearts forever as one.

You've come to expect your words to spill 
From my knowing lips when your lips lock 
And I share that same psychic awareness.
The branches from our trunks have grown 
And blossomed bearing sweet pure fruit.
Time has developed our dreams into reality
Of years spent growing, caring, and sharing.
Yes my love, we still share it all. Amen!

7-9-17

*Dedicated to my husband Michael on our 34th wedding anniversary.
