In the

morning when

I first

open my

eyes,



could I

once see

your calico

smile

before me.



gift of

a gypsy



your eyes

the depth

of an ocean

still.



I sit

before you

writing these

poems to

you

as  a debt

that I owe

to you.



words for

you to live

by,



in all of

my dreams

that surround

you.



and the things

that you

have loaned

me are

simply

these words

to you

that I write.



in comfort

for your

solitude a

blanket to

wrap around

your head

and heart..



and in

the redemption

of all

things tender

and righteous



your jelly

bean smile

graces me



and suddenly

the universe

is a beautiful

place.....

And the
promise of forever
falls through
our eyes,

and your husband sees
it at first light.

the baptism
of stars
and your destinies
in your smile,

everything becomes
you, and wishes
and dreams
of your life
together.

so many
questions
answered and
yet to so
many questions
in life
to overcome.

except for one.

you are exactly
where you need
to be with him
sleeping under
evening stars,

making love till
the night runs dry.

and then
waking in
the morning
stronger in
spirit deeper
in love.

blinded by
the light
that God has

given thee.

It takes you to the past
forgetting the present

It makes you relive the happy moments
or creates repeated sad moments

It makes you wish everything was different
or you could turn back the hands of time

It makes you wail uncontrollably
or go completely mute

It makes you see life anew
and enjoy every moment all through

It’s grief and it’s different for me and you.
