5th Poem to Bette

The dust of denial does finally settle,  

the sound of my heartbeat is metal on metal.

The river of sorrow runs dreadfully dry

the beat of my drum is a withered old sigh.

 

You breathe life to my body and love to my mind,

if god is in heaven this must be a sign.  

The more I take out, the more I will crumble

grab me when I fall, catch me when I stumble.

 

You smell just like roses, you ***** like one too,

when I look out the window all I see is you.

It’s real like the sun and it burns just as hot,

to hurt or to leave you, well, that I could not.

 

Love in the winter, spring, summer and fall,

your body and mind of you I want all.

There’s fish in the sea but I’m hook, line and sinker,

you get even cuter when your cheeks turn pinker.  

 

My body’s a letter the postage is love,

Dear Bette, I love you, won’t you be my dove.

P.S. you’re so pretty and wonderful too.

P.P.S. please know what I am saying is true.

 

In rain I’m your cover, in snow I’m your gloves,

if you’re cold then I want to warm you up with love.                                                                                                                          

I’m here to protect you through the lonely night

‘cause you give me white wings so I can take flight.

 

You are so special you don’t understand,

I just want to stay here and hold on your hand.                                                                                                                                                

I’m down in the shafts, for love I’m a miner,

forever I’m stuck, 'cause it only gets finer.

 

I am here and I am strong,

my heart beats louder than a gong.                                                                                                                                            

I want to hold you in my arms

and keep you from all the harm.

 

Bette, oh Bette I hope you can see,

your eyes and your body do hypnotise me.                                                                                                                                          

You leave me so speechless, I can’t catch a breath,

when I am in your arms, I don’t fear death.

 

You make me so happy, it’s quite plain to see,

your lips are my drug they intoxicate me.                                                                                                                                    

My life is a canvass for you to create,

how many ways can I tell you, you’re great.

 

You are my Bette for the world to see

you’re my hearts protector to watch over me.

My beautiful kitten if you purr for me,

I’ll give you my heart since you have the key.

 

Your name is Bette and now I can see

that life starts and ends with you and with me.                                                                                                                      

I want you forever, know I am here to stay,

if ever I lost you, I would lose my way.

 

I love you, I love you, I love you, I do

did I say that I love? Well you know it's true.                                                                                                                                    

Worries and doubts of those I have none,

you are my moon, my stars and my sun.
