My Bluebird, sweetheart ILU
IWU, INU, IMU too
Always, constant, these four things
All day, all night, and in between
I'm waiting for you patiently
Until the day that you're with me
I long to taste vanilla rose
And kiss you like the painting shows

The days seem long,
The nights feel lonesome,
I live in the anticipation,
That you will be back in my life soon.
The days of love letters are history,
The emails get to be very cryptic,
The ilu and imu seem farfetched,
When what I long to hear are a few live loving words.
What I am missing is not the wealth or pleasure,
But your love and undivided attention,
I want to hold your hands and put my head on your shoulders,
Just being with you makes my life worth living for.
The anticipation of our reunion,
Will erase the pangs of separation from my heart,
The waves on the beach would not be beating the shores that impatiently,
since you will be in my heart, body and soul.

Kalua Pig Luau
Hawaiian salt massaged pork
drawn from an "imu"--
a hot rocks pit ere covered.
Succulent pulled-pork
tenderly yielding
juice-dribbling
bliss.
