As I'm unwinding 
With the light
No longer blinding
Comes my plight

So To listen
Instead of sleep

Unkinds its words in retrospect's home turning,

Steamy summer love made our set.
Hot summer night, when we first met.
I kissed her neck; she looked in my eyes.
Drunk in mind and heart, to our surprise,
She took my hand; we kissed our first kiss.

you achieve it, you will never be the same.  It is like a road-map
just waiting to be read, for patience will make you...

The grandkids have gone back to school
Eight-thirty ‘til eleven,
The days too short for even them,
At ages five and seven.

We walked them there and picked them up
But classes weren’t adjourning;

This traveled distance to thee, unconcern
arises with consent when not be yearn.
As closeness registers my faith's return -
thee near, not pallid, while away not clear.

In love, do post thy sentry - endless savor,
that lightness would...
