Short Iger Poems

The locked door that bars contrition
When my heart of hearts knows
My word or deed
Is culpable for the pain and sadness
Of the one who loves me most
I've opened the door
I reciprocate the love…
I apologize.

Whether days or years
Time comes full circle
To commemorate our memories
The collage of our experiences
Love and laughter 
Tension and tears
A cycle of moments
Returned us here
To triumph in our togetherness

Life's whirlwind swirls about my mind
A maze of tomorrow's come...to pass
Which way to turn is unforeseen
Sorrow's womb has born a child
Of labor, long and strained
A manchild faced with Unlived Dreams
Must brave tomorrow's wake

Your friend, my friend...
Friends again

Who else could share...
Our fears, tears, smiles, kisses, memories?

Painful time when ours is not
No heart, no mind, could replace

Your face is all I see
Your love, all I need...

And I love you.

I can't remember feeling so incomplete...
Time and distance are a void...

Where there was you.

Loneliness, a mind possessed of itself
Groping in twilight revelation

We're sojourners on a trek
Spirits compelled to give and share

Trading smiles we'll never know again
Owing nothing.

My thoughts, your feelings
A mute dialogue
Words are in the way
When we say 
We won't stay
If we can't call the plays
The blame's not all ours
It's the mood of these days
That's why our hearts disobey
What we've said
It's words
They cant feel 
What our spirits only know
And our minds misunderstand

Saw us come, watched us grow
Will witness the day we must go...on
Saw us through the wounds we beared
Shared the tears we shed
For all we cared...
Lent us smiles that warmed our hearts
Never asked to be repaid
Like Mother's love 
Gives and gives...
Nurtures all we are
Like Father's foresight
Knows that day must come
When days must end.

Look...
And never see the quiet fires in your eyes.

Listen...
And never hear your sultry sonnet.

Wonder...
And never realize your subtle charms.

The flower never knows its fragrant musk
Nor the wind its swirling caress.

Night never knows its ebony mystique
Nor the waters their placid calm.

And life could never joy...
Without you.

Arrows of outrageous fortune
Nor from Cupid's bow

Could find my heart more swift and sure
Than my lover's feelings know

No sun could make the heat
More than passion's flames could lick

Nor sleep could find my dreams
Than to taste my lover's kiss

No spell, nor magic
Could emulate true charms

I've found my wish of wishes
Within my lover's arms

Sweet tender flower...
I love you.
Been long in the Garden...
In search.
You speak to my senses...
In silent, poignant eloquence.
I long to wake with you...
Feel the warmth of morning's smile upon us.
Look upon you...
For my vision's own delight.
Ooh... 
Savor your musk.
Fulfillment is ours.
I've nourished your roots...
Soothed your pistil...
Love's in bloom.

What a difference a day makes
You awoke with courage this morning

Face today...
Seize it!

Fear is only a feeling
To be overcome

Yes it's hard
Sometimes frightening

Impose your Faith against adversity
And win the day

The person that smiles back at you
From the mirror

Has every confidence
That you will count this day

Toward the achievement 
Of your dreams.

Falling leaves swirl by 
Squirrels peek through the pane

My companion's eyes caress me
Our serenade is rain

Fingers dance along my spine
Lips across my face

All is calm within our minds
Within our restful space

Laughter is our melody
A rhapsody of joy

Two hearts singing nature's song
All else we ignore

We dare to live a fantasy
Sharing passion's play

We sip the wine of happiness...
Lover's Holiday.

It's quiet hours like these...

The room is dark
The moon is full
My heart is empty

Visions dance on my mind
Of times when ours was now...
And we were each other's

Don't ever imagine, my love
That time and circumstances...
However long, however wrong
Could erase my love for you

Instead, my arms caress these ghosts
My lips whisper your name
Blame has no place 
When love finds this space...

In my memories.

Let’s celebrate!
Let’s get together soon
Maybe today
And have a toast
For all we’ve achieved
To this point in our lives
Recent headlines remind me
How much I have to be proud of
And grateful for
Very much including you.
The face time we share…
And the face I saw smiling back
In the mirror this morning
Give me twice as many reasons 
Than some people have
To celebrate…
So hit me back!
With the time 
And the place.
Peace!
