Nothing
Is
More
Beautiful
Than
A smile
That
Has
Struggled
Through
Tears

Our understanding of
the fairer *** is fleeting
of this we cannot deny

Try as we may we remain
vexed and perplexed
although we press on

Just once and only once
please take our words
for what they simply are

Never attempt to think
for us or change our
words to what you think

Take it on faith that we are
not trying to confuse you
or play with your mind

Yes we are different yet
our love and passion are
the common binder

We can hopefully agree
to disagree without fear
of retribution over time

Emotions may run high
and tears may flow but
perspective must be kept

We all make mistakes and
either is perfect in our ways
so mindful we should be

Take heart and know for
fact that we adore you
until the end of time.

Water so scalding to melt plastic
and yet I fill my container to full
Not coffee or tea as consumption
was not the plan on my mind
The red bladder of synthetic-like
rubber with white plastic cap
Stretched out on my king bed
lower back exposed from pain
I gently lay upon you and feel the
the slow burn of relief & comfort
The wince and grit of my teeth
are obvious although soothing
Hot water bottle please take my
pain away please help me today.

Captured by our love
we share an esoteric
  connection that only
   we can understand
Thunderstruck by a
beauty inside & out
  a mesmerizing trait
    shared by very few
  Opposites in some
manners yet common
  simultaneous thoughts
flow between us.

I remind myself to listen
   and look her deep within
      those sensual blue eyes

Slightly leaning in to gain
   a connected perspective
      drinking in her thoughts

Reaching out I touch her
   hand and place it in mine
      never losing eye contact

Her head gently falls upon
   my chest as a small stream
      of tears soaks my shirt

My arms enclose around
   her frame as I feel her melt
      completely into my soul

Looking up at me our lips
   caress and explore a slow
      sweet moment in time.
