"Dear brown-eyed boy, I never can forget your loving ways. The memory of you forever stays." quote by poem's author
Your lips I kiss. Then like a butterfly,
my heart sprouts wings and dances in the sky.
A precious bloom, my dear, you are to me,
and I’m your reverencing honey bee.
You hold me close, and in your warm embrace
I wish to stay; you gaze upon my face
and with soft fingers, tenderly you trace
my features. I’m in such a blissful place!
Your eyes are chocolate. They mirror mine
with sweet devotion, and I’m on Cloud Nine.
I revel in the moments (as do you)
when we can meet. They always feel brand new!
Oh, what I’d give to make each moment last.
Your ways of loving me are unsurpassed.
Painfully weary mind of mine
so far from peace and so undermined
Elongated, dark, restless nights
haggard eyes and feeble body from tumultuous fights
Agonizing anguish now beginning to abate
taking a closer walk with thee, now I'm energized, upright
and straight
Christ burning deep within my soul
now, divine light shines my path like a street of gold
Everlasting joy beautifully playing in my life
I'm singing, praising, and dancing away strife
I hope this little note gives you a smile
While you’re out and about shopping around town.
I was hoping to talk to you awhile
Before all of the gem shows shut down.
I wanted to see if you’d like to go out…
Maybe grab a bite to eat and see the sights.
You’re a very beautiful woman, no doubt,
With a personality that shines so bright.
If you say no, I’ll completely understand.
After all, I’m someone you’ve just barely met.
But just keep in mind, before your plane does land,
That you’re a woman that I won’t soon forget.
DENVER SKIES UNSURPASSED
countryfied with Thompson Square
gueetar and bobbing heads
beach balls floating
not upbeat
enough for me

*My favorite John Denver song is Wild Montana Skies
you finally found your love
your search now in the past
everything you need
to quench your heart's long fast
hold it carefully
but firmly in your grasp
let it consume your heart
the feeling unsurpassed
