Best To My Husband Poems
As I see you take your last breath
I cry and scream in agony
For I have lost my best friend and
The only man that ever truly loved me
You knew all my secrets
You knew all my faults
And loved me in spite of them
Now I feel bitter regret
Because I have missed so
Much time with you
And now it is too late
I have lost you forever
You were the only one
Who was ever true to me
You would have ripped
Out your heart if I needed it
Though abuse and betrayal
Found me because of you
I always knew how much
That you loved me
Despite the many faces
That you have encountered
During your lifetime
I was the only woman
That you ever loved
Though I was full of
Many imperfections
You saw me as
The perfect woman
In every way
The devotion you have
Shown me surpasses
That of all of the romantic
Tales that have ever been told
Now all I can do is
Cherish your memory
Like I should have done
When you were alive
Your passing does not
Only mean the ending
Of your earthly existence
It is the death to the
Beating of my heart
For I cannot live
Without my soul mate
I am drawn to you like
The stars to the midnight skies
The Earth to the burning sun
Water to thirsting flowers
I am comfortable with you like
An old pair of boots
A faded pair of jeans
My favorite sweater and scarf
I am at peace with you like
Sitting in a boat in the middle of a lake
Taking a walk in silence in the country
Listening to rain drops fall in the dark of night
I am alive with you
Like the laughter that is uncontrollable
The heart that goes thump, thump, thump
Running through wildflowers in the wilderness
Every ounce of my being
Mind, body and soul are riveted by you
I am alive with you, free with you,
comfortable with you I love you
Heather Mirassou
You've always been there for me
Right from the start.
Everything you do
Comes straight from the heart.
When I think of you
My heart fills with love.
And this feeling my dear
Is what life is made of.
You've given me passion, love,
And total bliss.
And all it took
Was just one kiss.
I knew from the moment
I first lay eyes on you
That a life without you in it
Would just never do.
I am honored that you chose me
To be your wedded wife,
And by your side I'll stay
For the rest of my life.
I Love You
It’s the way you look at me
With that little stare
It’s your kind loving touch
That shows me you care
It’s your support for all do and share
It’s your commitment to our marriage
That lets me know you’ll always be here
It’s your faith in God that makes everything clear
It’s the way you care for my child
When she is sad or confused
It’s your compassion as a lover
That keeps me mused
It’s your shimmering smile
That makes it all worthwhile
It’s your love for all living things
That makes you shine like twelve kings
It’s all this and so much more
That makes me glad I have you to adore
Loving you is so much more
When you came to my life,
I do not remember when I started wanting to be your wife.
Your innocent proposal to me made me spellbound,
My mind had to take no second thought's round,
to say a 'YES' and spend the rest of my life in your arms,
ever increasing my life's charms.
Your capacity to hear,
sometimes makes my eyes shed down a tear.
You always hear my woes,
which many a times keep you on your toes,
preparing ideas for dealing with my foes.
You've been a professional mentor,
who always occupies my heart's center.
You've a poor sense of humor,
but I've never seen you spread any rumor.
It's not that we never fight,
which has given us days both dark and bright,
But Promise me, Promise me- We would always do things that are right,
And I promise you that I would always think of you with a smile before closing my eyes every night ....
-Love Wify to her Dear Hubby on his 30th B'day
To my love,
Do you remember all of this?
A casual night, to party, that ended with a kiss.
June 19 two thousand and twelve,
the night our very first kiss was held.
We continued a friendship, although here and there
We would hold hands, look at each other, and stare
The love was there, it had been always
We were not yet ready, to ditch our single days
So we continued on, no rules, no pressure
As friends, with some benefits, some would tell ya
Nights would start out, with fun in mind
By the end of it though, I'd have your hand in mine
Very drunken nights, you would proclaim
This is my girlfriend, but by morning that would change
When we would rise, we would pretend
The night was just fun, and I was merely a friend
By November twenty thirteen, I had had enough
I took a chance, and I called your bluff
You didn't say yes, you didn't say no
I didn't bring it up again, I just let it go
Dec 5, two thousand thirteen
We were dates to a party, with a holiday theme
It took some time, but you came around
Jan 25, you decided to be locked down
I tried not giggle, as I thought FINALLY!
He does want to spend the rest of his life with me.
Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months,
We were head over heels, everyone had a hunch
Dec 5, two thousand fourteen
You made a proposal, and I agreed
March 11, we went downtown to get our paper work started
We did not expect to be wed, before we departed
We signed the papers right there, that day
But I wanted to do it, the old fashioned way
So on July 10, among family and friends
We shared words and a kiss, once again
This time was special, I wore a big poofy dress
It was our family and friends, who bore witness
I am so happy that you are my king.
With love from your wife, your best friend, your queen.
In dulcet tones
known just to me—
(nonverbal,
some would say),
though delicate
is not your speed,
I hear what you can’t say.
Consolation
is to breathe.
Allure means just to beg.
Mirage is only
what I see.
Who’d pivot
from your face?
Today’s an anniversary?
You’re with me
every day.
I’d favor flesh
instead of this
but death got in the way.

To my Husband,
A bringing of myself for understanding and pardoning of the days I fail him:
( Then I think, will I be passing on the cycle of not being enough?
Will he understand that it is I who is never enough?)
Yet I still need to apologize, for coming to him incomplete:
(For coming to him broken and asking him to fill a void he never made;
it's inherited from a generation of women who were never enough,
and I was never apart of it all...)
I need him to know he completes me in ways I can not alone:
(That it is when I am with him I am whole again;
That it is when we are apart that I find my self alone.
That the emptiness is inside me and not us.
That he fills the emptiness and takes the rawness of losing her away. )
I want him to understand why at home I fail at making a home:
(I'm immobilized in loneliness into waiting alone ;
Waiting on someone to come home.
Waiting on my sisters to come home,
Waiting on my Mother to smile again,
Waiting on my Mother to get off from work,
Waiting on my Mother to get better again.)
I do not want him to misunderstand my issues:
(I want him to understand they are mine alone to fix;
So I can be whole for my son.
So I can give to them the completeness they give to me.
These two boys who gave me back life, I live in the now for them)
I need him to understand the loneliness is not from him:
(I'm alone because I still grieve her loss and mine
I'm alone because she left.
I'm alone because they left.
I'm alone because every one has to leave
and I fear living past their leaving.)
I want him to know my love for him is Forever
(That even without words I know he has that love for me
The one that forgives before the transgression is done,
and forever is an eternity assumed for infinity.)
I remember your hands, my darling,
And the love that came with their touch,
I remember your deep, brown eyes, my dearest,
And the intensity of their love.
I remember your husky voice, my dear,
And the sweet nothings you whispered to me,
I loved you! I love you! I love you,
Your wife is all I'll ever be.
I miss you so much, my dearest,
Sometimes the tears flow as I go to rest,
Before your death, we were so Blessed,
Why were you taken-What did I do?
I have survived for eight long years,
How much longer can I go on?
Without you, I feel like nothing,
You were my angel, my love and my soul.
This is to thank you for being by my side,
For comforting and caring when I was
all confused inside.
This is for the phone calls you make everyday,
Just to tell me " I love you" every minute
of the day.
The way you take my hand in yours
For all the world to see,
That this is the woman,
Who is most special to me.
You always seem to know
When I need a hug, kiss or smile...
You never cease to amaze me
When you say "I'm here..let's talk for a while."
In decades past we've had our share
of ups and downs and problems galore,
But you are the one who remained at my side,
Never thinking of walking out the door.
Iadore the way youtell me,
"you are my forever best friend"
Ilove the way I believe in you..
Thank you for listening as I ramble on..
When things become rather tough.
We are in the best years of our lives
Almost one year on our journey together,
Iwant to grow old with you..And you with me.
Iwant to love you "forever"..
You've given me about everything I've ever asked for
Thats why I want to tell you dear each day I love you more.
If I could turn back the hands of time theres one thing I would erase
and that would be all the worry lines I've put upon your sweet face.
You've been my friend through all these years
the only true one I've had.
You've been there by my side to comfort
me when things were going bad.
And rho life's not been easy it never was meant to be
I wanted you to know sweetheart your everything to me.
I've almost lost you many times,but God has pulled us through
hes given us another chance to live our life all new.
Theres just one thing in this whole world
I'd really love to do. and that one thing to me
sweetheart is to live my life with you.
your wife
with love
"Teeny"
( this was written to my grandpa... we never discovered this poem until the day
she passed away. It fell from a photograph of her and my sister... ( the picture
was tooken when my sister was little). We framed it and had it placed in the
living room.... January 2nd 2008 my house caught fire and we practically lost
everything especially this only poem written to grandpa by his wife ( grandma).
Lucky before the fire one year in 2006 I had the chance to write it down and
place among my poems... When I read this poem I grew the ability to write my
own... like I have a piece of my grandma in me. and I just want to tell her I miss
her and love her "R.I.P. grandma Evans aka Teeny 9/11/1934- 9/8/1999")
Hate motivates you
You know no other way
Twisted manipulation
Always looking for an angle
Rage stimulated by darkness
Your need for vengence
Takes precedence
Over your love for me
Living to destroy
At any price
Destruction drives you
Breathing life
Into your black soul
Giving you the energy
To wreck havoc
On anyone who crosses your path
This is the true test of faith right before my eyes,
That will take time and patience to recognize,
All worth every moment even if time is cut short,
Living in love in the present stretching loves worth,
Pain staking tears from the pit of my stomach,
Digesting all the love without making assumptions,
Trusting you Lord, you see my heart bare,
You know my desires and intentions, you brought me here,
The choice I have made with no strings attached,
Binding my heart to you, with a letter intact,
To my husband, I will give this letter in the future,
Written on the tablet through a million sutures,
The stitches from surgeries with the scars to prove,
The pain here will diminish because I love you.
your arms are like my castle wall,
wrapped round special hopes and dreams,
you pick me up before i fall,
you quiet my fearful screams.
you are my life,you are my whole,
you are my reason for being,
without you i'd have no control,
and no clear eyes for seeing.
we are but two of a kind,
over thirty odd years we've become one,
and sanity,well thats a state of mind,
we'll have nought if eithers gone.
you are the light of my day,
you are my glow of inspiration,
you are the love with whom i'll stay,
we have that special affiliation.
you listen when i rabbit on,
you hold me close when i am down,
one kiss goodnight and i am gone,
you hardly ever wear a frown.

To my loving husband on our loving wedding day
Happiness will always EMANATE from us, I say
For what once was a wild river is now a calm bay
We'll BLOSSOM together until we're old and grey
Our SWIRLING eyes dancing with each other's way
We'll never lose that rhythm or have our hearts stray
The years and tides may change but our love will stay
The Destiny of Diamonds no ILLUSION but our doorway
Our rainbow eyes shunning SYNTHETIC skies, the archway
Babe, our house will be on the bay, our nest, our gateway
The forest, foliage, and our future will be a fairytale play
Will toast the RUSTIC tranquility and our cache
Today is the beginning, a seed planted as we speak and lay
Nine months from now joy to the world, we'll ballet
The TIMELESS roots will take shape and grow, I pray
The SILENCE of the baby room soon to sound our way, so let's merry away
