Sugar, G'Bye
you ...
were joy
gentle, sweet -
everything beautiful and mild
you devoured my
failings and frailties with soft silence
transformed them to
a tender, trembling music that
warmed my marrow ...
never a complaint or condition
naught but a gaze that
held love, untainted and undimmed,
acceptance, pure, and adoration
so assuredly undeserved ...
to be the silvery
stars in your vault -
the shimmer in your fiery eye -
was a blessing, unbound and precious ...
I was your WORLD,
and for as long as this fatuous
old fool can yet draw
breath, there is nothing
I am, have been, or could be ...
that compares. <3
