How I wish
We would have
grown old together

Then all the tragic things
that happened would
no longer really matter

We together would
remember the beautiful
The brighter and the best

The precious and the blessed

All the days of Our moments
of poetry and of wine
of song and of love's time

When Our children
were young and
not yet grown

When We were young
and together were
in love alone

We loved by Our magic
and lived in a breeze
These are the memories
I treasure and keep

When it was
Us  and Ours
and all about We

Shared memories
in quiet reminisce
All the minutes lost
Every moment missed

Each time I thought
how much I really loved you
and didn't seal it with a kiss

How I wish
We could have
grown old together

Oh how I wish
We had persevered

Then I could have
held you in loves
eternal embrace
as Lovers together
Forever and Ever

and nothing else
would ever matter.

[I Love You]

Falling
         In
           Love…

It’s a different kind of love
   then that love we have
        for a family member or a friend.

Saying *
[I Love You]
     can be the simplest part of each day
but really
     there is nothing simple
about what the unsaid words of
                                
[I Love You]
                                           mean…
[I Love You] means…
    I’m scared of being hurt
and
    I hope that we will never hurt each other
but
    I realize that there could come a time
                when I could get hurt
and
    I’m willing to take that chance
and
    trust that we will always find healing
[Together]

[I Love You] means…
    I want to be not just your lover
     but also your true companion
that
    one person who you confide everything to
and    
    I do realize that somethings can be hard to
                to share and talk about
and
    that secrets can destroy a relationship  
but
    I do hope we can be honest and open
with each other
[Together]

[I Love You] means…
   I don’t know what the future holds
but
   I do know that I want us to find out
             what it holds
[Together]

[I Love You] means…
   I truly want your love
and
   I truly give you mine
and
   that nothing we do
   will ever be done the same again
because
   all that we do from here on
   we will do
                
[Together]

[I Love You] means…
   So much more
than just
   Those Three Little Words.

wonder how the days have withered my leaves
into songs recalled and loves remembered
all along I thought the sun was shining
but then I got all old and wiser

amazing how the crystal clear of youth ambers     like
an ancient jewel

how these eyes got so much dimmer yet
brighter in hope in seeing things clearer
even though the distance blurred the close is
obscured


how then I found one day a jewel
among the crystals of a sand dune

is amazing again
I sit and analyze and I guess

it's karma

sabbath yesterday
the candles dim
and the choir boys
go on practicing
alone
like pews in the back of
the vast
spectacles
of  colored glass
windows with angels in their eyes
innocence
the man the one
pinned with the white crest at his throat
like
Christs' magnanimous suffering spoke
ten Hail Marys
and they awoke
and the angels cried
again
