Shhh. Hear that? That's my heart.
A gentle muscle pumping blood around my body.
I like it when we hold hands like this,
So the sun comes up between the web of the world's fingers.
I like starting each day with a new kiss, a new wish.
Mmm...your breath is so soft, sipping coffee smoking cigarettes.

I hold a book of poetry and read you a passage about love.
Poets will never understand how boring a subject that is.
I'll settle for the happiness and closeness of your touch.
The watchwords and hidden messages in your lips,
The way your eyes act like gentle diamonds reflecting the floating light.

I'll sit out here with you all day, until god closes one eye and opens the other,
Turns his head to watch us together.
I'll fall asleep with you asleep against me,
Your hair brushing my lips -- each strand a touch in the night.

Sleep well, my other. Sleep well and on into the day.

I whisper:
I will tell you everything you'll ever need with my kiss.
Brush the sunlight out of your hair, sink against me,
And let smoke waver from your lips.

You nod your head and close your eyes.
For now, we are here.

Hey Mike,

Thanks for digging this one out, I might have missed it in my slow search through archives.

Well done,

No problem, Jason. Believe me, you don't want to go back in time with me.

I'm scared and disturbed of some of the things I wrote then. The fact that I only began here two years ago ... I guess it shows me how far I've come.

Still walkin',

Oh my....*sigh* bsquirrel...this is soooo beautiful...
Lori is so lucky to have someone write her such beautiful poetry. I'm so jealous.

Thanks for sharing this (again).

I love this sweet, tender write...Mr.Squirrel.

Its the perfect love poem...

BTW, there have been squirrels on our bird feeder all day today.  These are the youngsters who were probably born this past spring, so they are still small enough to wrap their bodies around the cylindrical tube.
They are quite entertaining.  Frightened of some of the birds, but they don't seem scared of us at all.

I have just written a poem about it...with some pics also.  Will post it soon.

Thanks for sharing this lovely love poem with us.
