I’ll never let go.

Not even if there is an ocean,

coming between us.

Freckles of wisdom
scattered across his kind face.
Each spot a bright star.

Lady sings the blues
as he takes off his shoes.
As he takes of her dress
she’s got nothing to lose.

Lady sings her song
he’s not singing along.
But he makes her feel good
What on earth could go wrong?

Lady hums her tune
by the light of the moon.
he’s taken her soul
and left the saloon.

Lady is alone
in a room of her own.
Lighting a cigarette
and chilled to the bone.

Be born into the world
as a boy or a girl
learn to walk
learn to speak
learn to smile
learn to eat

lose a tooth
skin your knee
catch a cold
fight a bully

run away
come back home
find yourself
find your own

have a drink
do some drugs
sit and think
fall in love

have your fill
of money spent
pay the bills
pay the rent

raise some kids
watch them grow
close your eyes
six feet below

Leave the world the way you came in
full of love—free of sin

Our love is ageless
A wall clock without it’s hands
An empty hour glass

He is the hope of a child
wrapped in the body of a man.
He is one hundred years of wisdom
over an eighteen year span.
He is the pleasure of my past
and the excitement of my future.
He is a dream without slumber.
He is a heart-mending suture.
He is a constellation,
painted across the blackest night sky.
He is a song without words.
He is a natural high.
He is enlightenment--extreme awareness
He is selfless temperance.
He is humility and fairness.
He is the very deepest oceans
and tallest of trees.
He is the shore upon the sand.
He is a summer breeze.
He is an epic love story
masked behind tragedies of war.
He is pure.
He is love.
He is everything and more
