She gave up her rights
Her privileges
Her family
To marry me
A black man
Lord, give me the wisdom to love

Love's cornerstone set
Forty-five years together
Dear wife of my youth
Our sons, their wives, our lives full
May love's embrace continue

Love without hope, just how I seem to live
Sunken won't float, but now I dream you give
A purpose to life, no longer on my own
I propose my wife, we're stronger than alone.

As I look in awe, at the fully bloomed rose bush, sit in snow
I think- "Go get my camera" my wife would love to see them
(Not)- Instead, I'll hand-pick some to give 'em to her on Valentines day

I have fallen for you,
My angel, oh love of my life!
I wish that could make you,
My beautiful wife.
I wish to hold you close,
In the stillness of night;
And wake up to those,
Beautiful brown eyes.

everything in my life I give
for all in the world I want
is your love.

I'm retired but do I still have a life
Yes, sexual adviser I am to my wife
But if I say try this
It'll be totally bliss
If I desire I'll ask for your advice
.
Challenged to write on the back of a Joke!

Like my special comfortable chair
I'm reassured your always there
when I need you.
Providing a comfortable cushion
against harsh ravishes and rigors
of life.
My sanctuary

my wife

My life
My heart
My honour
My light
My cares
My mind
My thoughts
My lies
My truth
My pride
My dreams
My reasons
My history
My fears
My fight
My darkness
My feelings
My home
My hopes
My soul
My future
My money
My time
Combined
I box, I seal, I wrap, I tie.
I give to you my wife.

Light Verse

~I daily cover her with prayers
as I envisioned a happiness we'd share
spiritual soul filled kisses
of the breath God's giving us abruptly stating
it's yet still it's God whom we trust and forever will~

What's it like to kiss you?
Will I ever know?
You're here but still I miss you
It's when you have to go
That part of me goes with you
But part of me stays here
The part of me remaining
Is the one that wants you near
Right by my side forever
Meaning for my life
To always be together
To have you for my wife

the sweet cent of your kiss

My love
just one look in your eyes I’m mesmerised,
your lips, hips and your thighs.
The softness and Beauty of your skin
you’re as stunning on the outside as you are within.
The best mother to our beautiful daughters,
perfect wife and friend
I love you forever and always
,my love ,
everyday until the end.

My Darling Girl,
your big dark eyes met mine
against your pale skin and yellow hair
this name sang in my heart, Susan,
my Black-Eyed Susan.
A wild flower you’ll be, you’ll be a
kind friend,
loving wife,
strong mother,
sweet grandmother
and always you’ll be
my darling girl, my Black-Eyed Susan

THEY'RE ALL THE SAME
I wonder if...
i gave myself a ring
took myself on dates
kiss myself to sleep at nights
give myself gifts
treat myself like the world
trust myself with my whole heart
be my own wife to be
then maybe i would finally found someone...
...
nah, the way shit been goin', looks like..
even I would play me.

Light Verse

I love you more;
I love you less;
I love you with every breath;
I hold your hand;
You'll understand;
On my knee, I am;
Proposing to be your husband;
As I hold still your hand;
Would you do me the honor...
Could you be "My Wife"
and MARRY ME

Exuding uxorial elegance and grace
Lovely in every way, shape and form
Emanating within her, a radiant light
Natural beauty. A sweetheart of a human

I do not know?
|
Again
Again...
I feel no arousal
Nor in love
Nor hate
Again...
I permit his feast
upon my flesh
But why?
Again...
I verbally proclaim “no”
My feeble attempts
elicit surrender
Again...
I harbor the regret
Burden of shame
Priciest weight
Again...
I camouflage my sin
Playing an imposter
Doting wife
Again...
I declare to cease
Like an addict,
I lie

I fancy a life
In which we’d be blithe
In which you’re my wife
And we shun the scythe
The dire death’s sickle
We shall escape its blow
If only time did trickle
If only it were slow
But though it is flying
Running in a vicious flow
I am hardly trying
‘Gainst its tide I row
Against time I stand
And though I’m only clay
I’ll claim the upper hand
In this long weary fray

My life appears to a dream
For I dream
of meeting
the love of my life
in a dream
she haunted my dreams
for eight years
she walked out of my dreams
into my life
and became my wife
yes my life
resembles a fairy tale
complete with a princess
that rescued me
with her undying love
and made my life complete

Our heartstrings are so fragile,
We have to be extra careful
When we talk to our child,
Our husband, wife or mother.
So who gets the crux of our anger
When we lose our hurtful minds?
Saturated with sadness or grief?
Usually the ones we love the most.
Sad isn’t it? Yet, who do we trust?
Who will still love us regardless?
After we get ridiculously mad or mean?
The ones we trust the most.
