Did You Know...When  / Have I Told You...That


Did you know...when

Yesterday, we walked the paths
fed each with thoughts
and felt nature's touch

Stopped along the water's edge
stepped the stones,
I had laughed so much

Lost my balance, caught by you
watched yours lose,
one foot soaked

Another giggle, I couldn't resist
as teasing you
with looks, I joked

We climbed the mountain
my breath I lost, 'til you again
breathed life in me

Always, ever, you fill my heart
with each treasured
moments memory

We later leaned into each
bodies tight 'til
I heard that crack

Hmmm, thinking, hoping not
did we do that
when you pressed me back (*wink)

Then swung me high, you certainly did
I closed my eyes
in slight of fear

That little child swinging next
to me, loved it
his laughter, I did hear

Said, "Daddy , swing me high
like her," he thought it fun
to do like me

He didn't realize, that I
in laughing, was closing my eyes
becoming  dizzy

Then quietly we glided
in arms of you
was found

Warmth, contentment
ease of each, my thoughts
became unwound

And kissed a bit, you
washed away,
before it even rained

The tired of my body, thoughts
in leaning
left, the drained

In storming rain
you held me, felt your love
inside my heart

The pounding of the rhythms
of the drops
began their start

And matched the pounding
heard from you, when touch
of eyes and more

Caressed my wanting
eyes and  thoughts, your words
that reached my very core.

Have I Told You...that

Each time you look at me
you touch me again
with your eyes

Every day when it happens
you draw out of me
my breath, my sighs

When my name, you whisper
or your laughter I hear
in the breeze

I want to reach out and
touch you back with words
and looks to please

Your gentleness has helped
heal me, my pains, the best
that one can do

You've wiped away my tears
brought the dimpled smile
back to me, since you

I'll never be the same,
you know, the one you've led
from the deep

Enticed me to become
again,  now in dreams
I often sleep

To say the words of thanks
is never quite enough,
I am sure

So I leave you always
thought and word kisses,
eye touches and more...
