Nothing

Your love for me rings loudly,
Even when you say nothing.
You do so much for me,
But what I give to you, is nothing.
Endlessly you grant me gifts of your love,
But all I seem to be able to give you, is nothing.
My stumbling songs are like plastic trinkets,
Compared to the treasures you grant me, they are nothing.
When I am without your love, I am nothing.
If you asked me if there is anything I wouldn't do to prove my love to you,
I would tell you, there is nothing.
Whatever I have it is yours,
Even if it is nothing.
To me you are...
My Everything.

I can tell you are all bored with my poems about my husband, and I know they aren't every good, but I won't stop praising the one that I love.

Only You

It is you,
Only you,
That I want to die beside.
No other man
Please understand me!
Your lips are the only ones I wish to kiss.
Not his, or his or his.
Only you
Have shown me the peak of glorious ecstasy.
Thoughts of you make my breath come in gasps
I normally only emit in bed,
With you. Only you.
If I must divert my eyes from every other man,
Frown at every smile they give me,
I will, to prove I only have eyes for you,
Only you.
Every single thing you do,
Is uniquely perfect,
You touch the keys of the piano of my spirit
And draw forth my inner melody.
Only you can do this,
Only you.
Only you.
Only
You...

Every Note I Play, I Play For You

If I could pluck my music out of the air
And fashion you a coat out of notes,
Sing sweetly to your soul, and soothe you throughout the long hours of the night,
And summon angels to attend to you
Bearing intoxicating nectar and fragrant incense,
It would in no way compare
To the delightful wonders your love grants me.
I smile throughout the day, at the loveliness of our world,
Throughout our home, are the beautiful things you and I created together.
But I smile to the point of levitating with glee,
Whenever you are alone with me.
Such hilarity you deliver, you make me laugh so regularly
My laugh comes easy, but when your jests are for me
I laugh continuously, you know exactly how to shatter my frown, each time.
God called me, and said "Enough already. I know he's special"
Because I thank him constantly for letting me find you,
And the love I share with you,
Always,
My Beloved.
But I will not stop singing your praises,
You and your love, are the only music I need,
Every note I play, I play for you.

Such Wonders

Such wonders you deliver
And spread before my path,
Like undying rose petals,
Formed of the words and images
Of our life.

Such wonders you provide me,
When I thought I was worthless,
You proved to me I was special,
Worthy of the love you bring to me
All my life.

Every moment of our lives together
You remember, everything,
You remember.
The silly things I said.
All the songs we used to sing.
That night we drank blueberry wino-wine,
And howled like wolves in the night.
Every place I have been,
That we have been,
You remember it
Every bit.

Even if you never say, you love me again,
It will not matter, for you have shown me,
That you love me so much more
Than any one woman deserves.

All my dreams, of stars and rolling meadows,
You have saved them all, you've taken notes,
Of every dream, that has ever been mine.

How you fashion such joy,
You intoxicate me with you dedication,
And you must know, I will love you forever,
Regardless of how fleeting some think the word to be.
Forever I will love you,
You are the whole world to me.

Why you chose me, I still don't know,
But you did, and you've proven,
Day after day,
That you love me,
Though you seldom say those words...

But the wonders you provide me
Prove your love for me,
Far better, than any words
Could ever do.

For our anniversary, my husband put together a photo collage, of every significant event, not only of our lives together, but also all the stories I shared with him. I spent the entire night, laughing and crying tears of joy. If this isn't love, then it doesn't exist.

His Love Sustains Me

His love is sustenance,
His lips, delicacies from far off lands,
Sweet treat touches
He delivers with his hands.
He fills me,
And I consume him, whole.
I cannot get enough,
Of his savory skin,
The tantalizing scents
Rising up,
From his stove,
I touch it, knowing it is hot,
I am willing to scald my soul,
Over his flames.
His love sustains.

Collapse

With all my convoluted quirks, and concrete flaws,
I still can't understand what you see in me,
But what I see in you, is everything I need.

You make me feel like a glorious gift
From a gracious God,
Glittering gold
And powder white clouds.
You let me know that I am cherished,
And I shall be cherished,
For as long as you live,
And as long as I live,
And long after I have blown away
In my spirit, you shall stay
Until the end of days.

I glide through the air,
On gentle currents of your affection,
Whichever direction our love goes.

If adoration were the fountain of youth,
You and I would be immortal
for as long as our eyes did meet.

You are the piece that makes my puzzle complete,
The cornerstone of my tower,
I would surely collapse without you.

To Whom I'm Tethered

One I adore,
You must know the truth,
I am tethered to you.

Many nights I slept like a woman
Awaiting execution at dawn,
I wondered if you'd stay my execution,
waiting for the wall phone to ring,
And my pardon to arrive.

To know that you felt alone, neglected,
This was never my intention,
If you feel all alone in my prescence
I'd rather disolve like a salt pillar
In a torrential rain,
Than take the chance of hurting you again.

But if you are alone in my abscence,
Then I know, for certain, you love me,
And forgiveness, and acceptance,
Will come in time. For, I love you.

The fruits of a writing exercise, at a couples retreat. I don't believe my husband would ever leave me, but written affirmations strengthen relationships. I wanted to post his letter in response, but he made me promise not to.
