Tom Rutherford Poem
Azure skies
Alabaster sands
Emerald seas
Scent of comfort
From my earliest days
Surf sounds
To ease worldly pains
Ocean fragrance
Soothes and calms
Beach therapy for the soul
The sea
And my soul
Intertwined from birth
Drawn to shores
Like moth to flame
Rhythmic waves
On sandy edge
Like the heartbeat
Of a mother
Calms a child

Tom Rutherford Poem
My lips
Taste the salt
Of passion’s heat
The nectar of our love
Fresh on my tongue
Our bodies yearning
Always yearning,
Never satisfied,
We crave each other
As a deep addiction
Of two linked souls

Tom Rutherford Poem
Why chance
to open one’s heart
at the risk of loss
of invested feelings?
Guarded hearts
do not get wounded
but neither do they soar
like eagles on the wind
To risk is to gain
or sometime lose
but less loss than
never having wings

Tom Rutherford Poem
Your love
Like a warm winter blanket
Envelopes me
And takes all cares away
Your touch
Flows through my body
Like morphine
Easing my stress and pain
Your spirit
Lifting me up and away
Reminding me
That worldly thing matter not
Your love
Source of my comfort
Heals me
And feeds my soul

Tom Rutherford Poem
Pure joy,
Two generations down
Sweet child
Blessings abound
Innocent smile
Laughs, giggles
Abundant energy
And many wiggles
Daughter of my daughter,
Same beautiful eyes.
Gift from heaven
A wondrous prize
Every day a new wonder
Too fast do you grow
I dare not blink
grown before you know

Tom Rutherford Poem
Now that we have had the miracle
Of finding each other on this incredible journey
Having seen how our embraces
Flow and fit as if part of a master plan
We are one, complete and whole
To release our hold even for a moment
To go out in the world alone
Contrasts with our intimate bond
Feeling as though a part of me is missing
A void that hungers to be filled only by you
We are far better together
Greater than the sum of just two
Love’s overwhelming wonder and power
Empower us to overcome worldly troubles
And find strength that neither of us had alone
You are my missing piece
The one that fills the emptiness in me,
An emptiness so great of that I could not measure
Until it was filled by your grace and love
You and you alone make me whole

Tom Rutherford Poem
How can you say so much with one kiss?
It's as if you can express your thoughts as we touch so closely with our lips.
Tongues touch, sweet nibbles abound, a whole story told without words.
Tenderness beyond description,
time seems to slow to a stop,
only the rhythm of our breathing marks its passage

Tom Rutherford Poem
My Heart, My Soul
You rescued me
Adrift with no center,
No anchor for my heart
No shelter for my soul
You embrace me
Love’s warm blanket
So caressing my heart
So caressing my soul
You encourage me
As lover, partner, friend
So uplifting my heart
So uplifting my soul
You love me
Like no other has
So much love in my heart
So much love in my soul
You are truly My heart, My soul

Tom Rutherford Poem
Two sets of lips
Touch gently in the night,
Two hearts beat with a thrill
Romantic beginnings are powerful,
Sensual, invigorating, intimidating
And make life so vibrant and worth living
Two minds intertwine
Striving to learn each other's pasts
Dreams, likes, dislikes and passions
Excited about future
Fearing missteps to ruin it all
But blazing ahead full of hope
Two bodies yearning
For touch and kiss
Flushed with passion and arousal
Anticipating the next sensation
Taken on the next path of a sensual journey
Only as two lovers can do
Two lonely souls
Yearning for another
To fill the holes that sometimes
They never knew they had
Companions for life's journey
To intimately share

Tom Rutherford Poem
When you walk into the room
my heart takes off like an Eagle in the wind
Soaring, with exhilaration and thrill
When I see your smile
my heart melts with the love that abounds
from your caring, loving soul
When I feel your tender touch
I feel healed from every pain that this life has dealt
A soothing balm to my wounds
When I see your lovely body
glistening in the golden glow of candle light
I lose my breath at the sight of your beauty
When I think about hold lucky I am
to have fate put you in my path and my life
I am humbled that you choose to love me.
My heart soars for you and no other.
