Across my universe
A new star appears
everytime I think of you

A new planet is discovered
orbiting around us
each time you tell me you love me

along with flowers and trees
birds and butterflies
sunny days and rain storms

each stone, every stream flowing
on a beautiful Sunday morning
when the sun rises and I see your smile

Every midnight thought,
sleep revealed dream,
sunset that I write about

I just listened to the Beatles singing
"Nothings going to change my world"
And I finally understand...Across the universe

You are my world, my universe,
everything that matters to me
and nothing is going to change my world

I write so many poems about my love for you
hoping you see them, read them,
and understand how I feel

and this is another, though it rambles...
not cohesive,  doesn't rhyme,  no flow or cadence
It is just me just trying to say once again

that I love you, you are my universe,
my world, my everything and
nothing is going to change that...ever

~

On breezes of nighttime surrender,
  neath apple blossom blooms
Delicate wisps of fragrant sighs
  linger in sunrise wanderings,
   as dawn’s awakening
       breathes supple desires
   upon eyes opened
         to the glowing love
             *of a new found day

I’ve collected words my entire life,
a little here and a little there
Kept them grouped in files
in my already congested mind,
just in case I ever needed them

Some files contain long words
and some shorter varieties
I have a flowery group, a rhyming group
and a very sad group
(which I hope to never have to use)

The large file is my connection collection,
Words like a, as, the, and, so, they, if, of, etc.
You know, those tiny words we use
everyday without really thinking about them,
yep, I keep those too

There’s an angry collection (including cuss words)
which happily is much smaller than
the cheerful collection,
Humor is in there as well,
along with apologetic words

And then there is the smallest file
I kept in a very special place
This file contained only
three words which I saved
for that special day when I met you

And now that I have, they have been used
over and over and over again
so that you know exactly how I feel
Those words are…
I love you

Fingers intertwined,
  she leads me
to the place
I shall never
      know fear,
   as I follow her
happily
   *to her heart
