I always thought that you were perfect
Until you took your jacket off ,
And the sun broke through the window
And highlighted every scar on your beautiful arms.
That was the day that I realised
- you are perfect for **me
Where can I go
to hide from
this image of love
that haunts me?

For even at night
when I lay down
to sleep, as my eyes
close I see your
smile…

When I am not
near you, the hunger
becomes much too
unbearable…

And when you are near
to me, I want to hold
you so very close, even
to the point of feeling
our hearts beating...
together as one

For I have become
overwhelmed by this
sweet love with its
enduring strength to
bind a willing slave
to its powers

And I know that my life
could never be happy
without you always by my
side.
When I first met my wife in April 1977, we stayed in separate dormitories, men with men, and women with women in the Air Force, we married June 24 of that same year...it will be 37 years  this June, love at first sight does happen
distance makes my feelings unclear
you're 400 miles away yet you feel so near
it seems impossible that a love so strong
can exist and be felt over a distance so long
i know we mightn't ever meet
but without you
i know i would feel
**incomplete
distance changes everything
With nothing stable to come home to,
the days just drag on and on and on,
slowly I find myself caring less and less, about everything and everyone.

just you

i don't want to walk with you
or to pillow talk with you
i want just you

i don't want to die with you
or to get high with you
i want just you

i don't want to curl up with you
or to be love struck by you
i want just you

i don't want cute dates with you
or to wake next to you
i want just you

i don't want to get to know you
over dinner, then to owe you
i want just you

i don't want commitment
or to have to admit that
i want more than 'just you'

though it’s a shame love has hurt me before
it's getting much harder for me to ignore:
the fact that i don't really want 'just you'
it's all the little things that i don't want to want to
2018 edit I definitely just want to get high witchu x
if i believe
in death be sure
of this
it is

because you have loved me,
moon and sunset
stars and flowers
gold crescendo and silver muting

of seatides
i trusted not,
                    one night
when in my fingers

drooped your shining body
when my heart
sang between your perfect
*******

darkness and beauty of stars
was on my mouth petals danced
against my eyes
and down

the singing reaches of
my soul
spoke
the green-

greeting pale-
departing irrevocable
sea
i knew thee death.

                              and when
i have offered up each fragrant
night,when all my days
shall have before a certain

face become
white
perfume
only,
          from the ashes
then
thou wilt rise and thou
wilt come to her and brush

the mischief from her eyes and fold
her
mouth the new
flower with

thy unimaginable
wings,where dwells the breath
of all persisting stars

— The End —
