To the Father of My future Children…

To the Father of My future Children…

Since I know you don’t exist

Can I compliment your hair?

Can I say your eyes are beautiful?

Or that they sparkle in the sun?

I feel I know your laughter

The way it touches my soul

When the wind blows a certain way

It feels like your breath on my neck

And since it doesn’t matter

I’ll say I love your lips

The way they touch mine gently

Then whisper I love you

Often

Sonnet #222

Sonnet  #222

Our time is fast at hand

We must approach with care

The time we have to share

When we’ll walk hand in hand

Along the golden sand

We’ll make a lovely pair

Of only life were fair

But things don’t go as planned

Restraint must rule the day

We find our center space

To wait and rule our souls

We keep our love at bay

Till in the proper place

Till then pain takes its toll

New Endings

New Endings

The lover’s quarrel is amended

Think not that this tale is ended

For unless a parting follows

Love in heartache and bitterness wallows

If only goodness lit the day

We know not night to keep it at bay

And without the loss and touch of pain

We wouldn’t know what we have gained

Vows

Vows

We all need love

We live by Honor

We strive to obey

But we struggle to obey

We fail because we love

It stains our honor

How can we understand honor?

When we only try to obey?

The struggle comes from trying to love

Because with Love, we choose to honor and obey

Entrapped

A wild wind whispers through the trees
It murmurs your name silently
Time is waiting on a half thought prayer
All of creation is full of anticipation
Your name is spoken
Time stops
The world starts spinning again
Only to come crashing
When your lips meet mine
Pleading, pulling my breath from my body
Slowly I surrender
Yours
Completely
