Dolores’ score
Work hard
Play hard
Love hard
Pray hard
Live loud
Die proud
Life’s quick
Thrive
Like you mean it

Dependence day
You’re my smile
As I awake
You’re the reason
Everything’s ok
The warmth on my back
As we roll out of bed
And you come with me
In my soul
Two years baby
Happy anniversary
Shall - 2020
On your worst day
What makes your skeletons
Worse than mine?
What authority allows me
To be your judge?
I’m your love
Your mate in spirit and soul
Against any storm
I’m your safe harbor
I’m your defense
With rust of time
Without paint or prime
In scrutiny’s light
A world might question
But they don’t know
Who you are
In your heart and spirit
In soul words and song
From beautiful Heaven
That peeks from your eyes
You are Dolores
You are mine
And where I belong
At your worst moment
Of deepest anger
Or darkest regret
You’re the most beauty
Creation’s known yet
So let go of sad blue
Because on your worst day
My eternal desire
Begs to be with you
Shall - 2020
And you
Your spirit calls
As an echo in Heaven
Today
I saw a morning sky
Filled with angel wings
A contrasting canvas
Of jacinth, amber and blue
Beautiful beyond words
Its awe fell short
Compared to you
And you
Are the best of my Heaven
You’re my blessing
And my sky
Shall - 2020
My love
You’re not reward
For things I’ve done
I’ve done nothing
To deserve you
You’re no exchange
For promises made
Repaid blessings
Or your presence
You’re none of these
My love
You’re the way
God touched me
You’re the change
You’re the lens
My window to Heaven
You’re my center
As God surrounds
With all my heart
With all my soul
And all my thoughts
You’re my miracle
Thank you
Shall - 2020
That’s how long
Love’s not motion
Love’s emotion
Since you arrived
Everything counts
All matter’s before us
All that's before us matters
From this day forward
Until eternity ends
Plus one day
That’s how long
I’ll be yours
That’s how long
I’ll be true
Shall - 2020
Fidelity
I’m not responsible
For the world’s happiness
I’m only responsible for mine
And I want to be responsible
To you and for yours
As much as possible
So my thoughts live at home
And I keep love safe with you
You’re my happiness
And why I smile so
You’re my fidelity
And my joy
Shall - 2020
Like a twig
Betrayal found me
When I was strong
It came to my heart
Through sound
I couldn’t believe
It was so easy to fall
How could that person
Be me?
I needed to know
So I searched
For meaning in stories
In words and sound
I wanted to trust again
I wanted to believe I could
You see
In my fall from grace
I betrayed myself
In my walk
I sought a love
That couldn’t wilt
Instead I found lust
As hardened gum
Cold empty thirst
Then you came
And like a twig
My life snapped
And I changed
Nothing in my past
Means anything now
You alone make sense
Within God’s Heaven
You’ve become everything
And restored my strength
You gave me back my trust
I’ll never forget the shame
And I’ll never forget
That you saved me
Shall - 2020
I always look
At you
I’m not interested
In anyone else
Only you
And I’ll always
Look at you
Because there’s not
A single thing
I don’t find
Completely seductive
About you
Not surrendering
To your allure
Would be a lie
And a waste
Shall - 2020
Because you chose
You’re beautiful beyond beautiful
And I’m lucky beyond lucky
You’re beautiful beyond beautiful
And I’m lucky to be yours
You’re amazing beyond grace
And I’m lucky beyond lucky
You’re amazing beyond grace
And I’m lucky you are mine
Thank you from my heart
For being who you are
And thank you from my soul
Because you chose to live
Shall - 2020
In a perfect world
I would be buried
Holding you in my arms
I may have to settle
For ashes scattered near
I may have to settle
For less than that
In a perfect Heaven
Our spirits will entwine
Blend song in harmony
Eternal resonance
I’ll follow you to Heaven
And see to it
If you’ll have me
We’ll share the night sky
Descend coastal cliffs
Swim magic waters
And discover secret shores
As shadows in love
Shall - 2020
Honey
Most beautiful thing
About being yours
Is I get all my honey
From one bee
You’re so sweet
Sweetest ever
I’m all abuzz
Over you
Shall - 2020
Seven times seven
Three more wake-ups
Before your birthday
The third since you died
Third since we married
You’ll be forty-nine
And I still love you more
Each day that passes
Do you know I study
The fullness of your brows?
Rebellious strands of hair?
Contours of your hips?
The shape of your hands?
Of course you do
You’re in my soul
You know my every thought
You know every want
And every want is you
So at seven squared my love
You couldn’t be more beautiful
And I couldn’t be more blessed
Happy birthday
I love you
Shall - 2020
Kisses
I’ll caress your lines
Don’t be afraid of time
Never hide yourself
It’s you I want
It’s us forever
Awkwardness
Comes naturally
Don’t resist it
Hold on to me
Don’t fear
I’ll caress your tears
Your drool, with kisses
You’ve never been
So wanted, ever
We’ll always be
Let time come
And you’ll see

Absolute
You’re the best
The most beautiful girl
In Ireland
Most beautiful girl
In time and creation
You’re absolute
Shall - 2020
You made it to me
You were so beautiful
In such changing ways
Throughout your life
At every stage
So free and strong
Unbound passion
Exploding emotion
Perfection unequaled
But your image
Forever before me
Reflects the change
You made it to, last
You made it to me
Shall - 2020
Cranberries
When I taste cranberries
I taste you my love
You’re sweet and tart
Always a complete surprise
You kiss me with chills
And flash in my eyes
Your essence inside
Makes my mouth moist
Suspends my haste
As I pause to taste
Just you
Cranberries
Shall - 2020
Exactly and forever
A day approaches
I’ll hold more in common
With those who’ve passed
Than those remaining
It will mark a calling
To follow you
To a welcome place
Where life makes sense
And I’ll hold you tight
I won’t let go
Love for you
Is all I know
Until the day
I’ll embrace you now
In every emotion
Every thought
And in every way
I’ll keep you close
So don’t feel bad
If you feel lost
If you feel sad
Don’t shy away
Just come home to me
And stay
I love you exactly
And forever
Shall - 2020
You are my song
You’re the song in my soul
The music in my heart
Sense of home in my bones
You’re my safe harbor
Let me die in your sea
Let my bones hold yours
Let us fly from these bodies
With every new dawn
Don’t let me live beyond you
Don’t let me live past eternity
Perhaps just a day longer
So I can love you until then
You’re my song
Shall - 2020
