Adrift above a field
Warm light and cool breeze mix amid my yellows and blacks.
Weary are my eyes
Staring at the horizon for a brighter day.
Weary are my wings
Flitting from purple, to red and then to blue.

Dangerously close to being carried by the breeze
Far away from my goal. My eyes nearly close.

Sudden and amazing life returns to my limbs.
All other shades and shapes turn to grey and fade away.
Bright are your petals that shine in all directions.

I have reached my sun and my stars.
Forever will my days be illuminated in your astounding light.
A week of poems for my wife. I just hope these words will come close to the awesome love I have for her.

The window is frosty from the chilly winter night.
A heater is pushed to its limits in the corner and the room has the feeling of  a sweltering summer morning.
Thump----Thump----Thump
The loud beat of my heart is drowning out all sounds and thoughts.

So soft is your hair that I'm truly feeling for the first time.
Pale and smooth is your skin as we lay together for the first time.

We lay so close your breath enters my nostrils and breathes life into my soul. So close are we that the magnetism I feel with you in the room is now the force of a giant star that sends its rays into the dark eternity.

Ever closer we lean into each other. Each moment spans into another and into another then into another. Time stops and looks at us.

Our lips touch and in that moment you breathe life into my empty soul.
This was the night we first kissed. The beginning of a beautiful love that grows stronger every day.
