My Lady

So warm and giving,

with a gift for living.

Not a bad driver

and always a survivor.

Most generous in sharing,

ever sincere in caring.

More sacred than a mission,

a treat to my vision.

Being with her is such a pleasure,

my love for her is without measure.

My Love, My Woman

My love, my woman

my lady, my queen,

thru the eyes of my heart

you always will gleam.

As the waves of the oceans

touch the hulls of it’s ships,

I long to have and to hold you

and to kiss your sweet lips.

The warmth of your breath

and the touch of your skin,

the very absence of it all

seems like a sin.

The fullness of your body

the softness of your hair,

the old echo of my mind

“Where are you out there?”

Not Even Two Years

The months are twenty

but time went fast,

our troubles are plenty

now to bury the past.

Friends seeded by love

two grown into one,

once blessed from above

now lacking that fun.
