When the sun hits your eyes
They appear as stars in mine
Or as endless pools I'd be willing to drown in
The moon can only yearn for your beauty
Just as I do every moment I'm without you
When I see your smile
Even in the most somber of times
I can't help but feel my own return
As if seeing your joy inspires it in others
The warmth that follows you into every room
I'd almost be envious if it wasn't my favourite feeling
I feel the need to thank whatever creator there may be
For granting me the wish of a star like you
Sixteen years since she entered my life
Fourteen years ago she became my wife
At any age love it can bloom
Opened my heart for her, love I made room
Fourteen years ago she became my wife
As well as much love we are also great friends
Opened my heart for her i made room
Any challenges we sit and just talk
As well as much love we are also great friends
At any age love it can bloom
Any challenges we sit and just talk
Sixteen years since she entered my life
eyes that sparkle with
every touch of my hand
we are one-In love
Always pushing me toward the sky
Forcing me higher than I want to fly
Always directing me into deeper waters
Compelling me farther than I want to swim
Always challenging me to rise above,
To face the giants, and go beyond
My friend, my wife
The love of my life
the love of my life
Someone had put a puppy dog down a hole and
tied her to a string around a stone
I went to her house, but she was terrified, never having
met kindness
At home, I put her on the kitchen floor, quickly
She ran into the darkness there, but refused
to come out, I put food and water near her
and left the kitchen
In the morning, she had drunk the water and
eaten the food and peed, but she refused to
come out
I had breakfast of fried eggs and bacon
speaking softly, not using my gruff voice, but
She was so traumatized and stayed put
in the evening when watching the news,
I had left the kitchen door open in case she
wanted to come out
Engrossed by the news about murder and
Mayhem, I felt a slight pressure on my left
foot, she had gone asleep there, and I didn't
dare to move
Finally, I lifted her up into my arms, where
She slept soundly; ok, so I cried
Thirteen years together, she only hated me
when she needed a bath.
I surf through the silks
of his opium essence
swathed in moon-swept sparks
for this love stirs in silence
a verse sealed with fervent flares
He is my one and only love,
The one who cares for me,
One who knows me fully thereof,
The one who lets me be,
My heart's key ~ my hubby.
We paced the dulcet garden path paved with passion,
sensed the fervent flower called love bloom in my heart
and I realized you’re a precious gift God has given me.
While walking the last mile through the twilight zone
I’m not forlorn, for my Valentine is with me as my wife.
So unexpected;
arriving after the fire,
as the embers cooled;
quenched with hateful bitterness.
Kindling for a sorry heart.
Seeking the heart through sapphire gaze
whimsical flow of joy and grace, silence expressed
on the song, glimpses of amazing painted by light
stories in rhythms of beautiful, pouring out heartfelt poetry
the love of my life with his eyes alive, starlight melodies
The love of my life did not love me,
And I have pined for him these long lonely years.
He did not see the many tears I have cried,
Why, oh why, did he not care about me?
Now he has died and I am lonelier still.
The Love of My Life
Flowing tresses of.blond hair and deep blue eyes
We flirted, promising our undying love for each other
I was captivated by her girlish charm and wit
After nine steamy months it came to an end
I moved to a new school district to start third grade
You are the true love of my life
I am so blessed to be your wife
Our love story is true
And started the day I met you
Marriage is not always pure bliss
But ours started after the first kiss
We were inseparable from day one
When our journey had just begun
We share many common likes and desires
But also, many differences still transpire
You’re a night owl and I prefer to get up early
And you sleep soundly, and I sleep poorly
We love to take long drives and try to find treasures
In antiquing, nature or enjoying culinary pleasures
I like to walk and exercise most every day
While you continue to avoid it in every way
I like things to be neat and in order
While you’re a pack rat and a slight hoarder
I like to read, write poems and create
While you like to fix, build and renovate
You like Harry Potter and I like anything mystery
I like current stories, and you prefer history
We both enjoy the local news and Netflix series
And enjoy haunted stories and with all the queries
I knew I found in you my soulmate and best friend
And blessed to have you in my life until the very end
Always the same glimmer inside of our eyes whenever we smile.
His laughter always makes me want to stay for a longer while.
His beaming grin makes me melt in an otherworldly style.
A private lesson in her room
Must get through it, thoughts abloom
Keep my focus, concentrate
Desire must not activate
Wow, she's pretty. Yeah I know.
You really love her? I do so.
Well I must get back now, we're not through
You're sure you love her? Yes, I do.
