Dolores most beautiful

 

This will be the fifth

And our fourth time

Since being together

 

Mother’s Day

Your children grown

 

Taylor and Molly adult

And Dakota becoming

A fine young lady

 

Lives of their own now

A little alone now

With your memory

In your absence

Left to linger

 

I hope they can know you

As I’ve grown to

I want to know them

And give love as you do

 

Still I stay distant

For their protection

My love is a circus

Unstable by day

 

They’ve been through much

 

Yet if they should want

They needn’t hesitate

To ask me anything

 

I love you completely

I can share

 

To know their mom

Is the most passionate

Most beautifully honest

And sexiest spirit

On any plane of life

 

You draw truth from me

And press me to reach

Beyond myself

 

They should know

Maybe some day they will

 

Maybe some day

I’ll tell them myself

Do you feel like a victim?

 

Like no matter what you do

You can’t find contentment?

 

Do you view the world

Through the lens of you?

 

If so

Your whole world

Becomes the area within

The circle of you

 

And that’s great

If you find happiness there

 

If not

Perhaps you might try

Focusing on the area

Outside the circle

 

I love you Dolores

You helped me live

A million suns

 

I caught a spider in a glass

To set it free outside

 

Out of caution

I washed the glass

And you tickled my calf

From behind

 

I laughed and embraced

Your startling touch

Designed for my surprise

 

And sensed your delight

At my moment’s fright

And the brilliant glean

Of your fiery eyes

 

So have all your fun

My most spirited one

I want you more than

A million suns

 

Shall – 2022

 

 


 

More tomorrow

 

A week away now

Our 4th anniversary

4th of July 2022

And I’m excited

 

Seems like yesterday

When I found you

 

Flowers of spring

In full blossom

Sharing their blooms

 

But I have my flower

I have you

And none other

Can compare

 

I love you more today

Than all the yesterdays

Put together

 

And

I’ll love you more

Tomorrow

 

Shall – 2022

 

 


 

As my woman

 

I don’t love you

As a girl

I don’t love you

As a dream

 

I don’t love you

As a woman

I don’t love you

As a queen

 

I don’t love you

As an object

 

But you are a girl

You are a dream

An amazing woman

And perfect queen

 

You’re not an object

You’re my Heaven

And my life

 

When you died

You were forty-six

Today you’re fifty

 

I sense this in your spirit

And love it in our days

 

So I don’t love you

As anything other

Than who you are

 

I love you

As my woman

 

Shall – 2022

 

 


 

Exactly happy

 

You made me exactly happy

You make me exactly happy

 

Happiest I’ve ever been

Happiest I’ll ever be

 

I don’t have to

Give myself to you

I want to

 

And I’ll want to

Through all the tomorrows

Of all the tomorrows

 

Shall – 2022

 

 


 

Sublime

 

You’re beautiful

And amazing

 

You sing like wind

In the cliffs of Heaven

 

But it’s more than that

 

You fit

Better than anyone

I’ve ever met or known

 

You articulate

Better than anyone

I’ve ever met or known

 

I love the way of you

 

And it’s absolute joy

To be in your love

 

Shall – 2022

 

 


 

More than enough

 

My world takes place

Within a prism of you

 

Each thought entwined

In unclothed reflection

Of your deliberate view

 

Your skeletal truths

In shadowed corners

Whisper soft to me

 

My constant song

Is you

 

I can’t name this need

In silent moments facing

Dismissed focus

For sensed embracing

 

And when you’re there

My heart is whole

And nothing else at all

Could compare

 

It’s more than enough

Three times prime

 

17 + 17 + 17

17 + 13 + 11 + 5 + 3 + 2

17 + 13 + 11 + 7 + 3

31 + 19 + 1

37 + 13 + 1

41 + 7 + 3

43 + 3 + 5

47 + 3 + 1

 

Eleven prime ways

To say my love

You’re 51 today

My love

 

When I feel this way

I’m content inside

And filled with joy

 

You do this to me

It’s good and right

 

And I sense

I wouldn’t be the same

Without you

 

I couldn’t hold a flame

Without you

 

I never want to be

Without you

 

My spirit couldn’t see

Without you

Inside of me

 

You’re unique

You’re original

You’re prime

And you’re mine

 

Happy birthday baby

Forever with you

 

Well

Here we are

 

It’s 12:37am and we

Have a shot at six hours

Before a seven wakeup

 

Just finished watching

Morning glory

A little crazy

A little funny

 

Everything we do

Doesn’t have to be epic

 

The truth is

Sometimes I just want

To cry or laugh with you

 

With

Being the preposition

And you

Being the noun

 

I love to

Talk to you

Lay with you

 

Stare to you

And think of nothing

 

Just let time hold us

In close proximity

You there

And me here

 

If I could

I’d want to be buried

Holding you

 

And I don’t even know

If it’s legal

 

Admittedly strange

But if I could

I’d hold you so tight

I’d hold you forever

 

As it is

I look into forever

In peace

And contentment

With you

 

Shall - 2022

 

 


 

Hunger

 

It’s there again

 

All morning long

I want you

 

Need I say more?

 

It’s a constant hunger

I love with

I live with

 

I know you know

 

Shall - 2022

 

 


 

Satiable

 

Like other people

I kept my radar

Active to see

What might be missing

Or what I might be

 

Insatiable hunger

Sustained appetite

As a bee finds each flower

Attractive to sight

 

As one who is blind

I searched for my home

Without recognition

And destined to roam

 

Discarding self-trust

I entered my quest

At Genesis 1

 

What better place to start

Than at the beginning

 

Making my way

To Numbers 33

Your lingering voice

Beckoned to me

 

I answered dumb

Not knowing where

Your message called from

 

Could I trust this?

Could I trust us?

Could I trust me?

 

All logic eluded

It’s insanity

 

When realms between

Heaven and earth

Or love and reason collide

Also do realms

Of honesty and pride

 

There’s nothing to see

In a moment I knew

All hunger is gone

And home meant for me

Is in Heaven with you

 

So now I’m satiable

Infinitely hooked

Found my only answer

In the last place I looked

 

Domareo

 

Shall - 2022

 

 


 

Because of you

 

The world can’t defeat me

Because of you

 

I am antifragile

Because of you

 

You are my strength

You are my life

You’re my miracle

And you’re my joy

 

When my time comes

I won’t hesitate

To join you in Heaven

 

My life is beautiful

Because of you

 

Shall - 2022

 

 


 

Step up

 

As a child

This world is big

It takes a step up

To reach the sink

I can’t get there

Myself

 

As a man

Heaven is great

The Trinity

Is everything

And you

Are right there

With them

 

You’re my step up

To reach Heaven

I can’t get there

Without you

 

Shall - 2022

 

 


 

Love’s secret

 

Your spirit

Transports me

To destinations

I’ve never known

 

All my life I’ve stood

At passion’s edge

And didn’t see it

 

I could’ve been cut

By its jagged blade

 

Releasing me

From my sleep

Revealing ecstasy

Beyond imagination

 

Your kiss

My surrender

Our truth

 

Love’s secret

 

Shall - 2022

 

 


 

Perfect Heaven

 

In a dream

I kissed you

I had no choice

 

You’re everything

Perfect Heaven

 

I was destroyed

And consumed

 

And suddenly

The world fell away

All I could see

And all I could want

Was you

 

And then terror

It was a dream

Was it really you?

 

Can I be sure?

 

It better be

It must be

 

It couldn’t be

Anyone else

 

You’re the only one

I could so completely

Want
