"About You"

The songs I sing, the words I write
the how and when, the where and why
they’re all about you.

The caress of the wind, the kiss of the sun
my ups, my downs, my laughter and my frowns,
they’re all about you.

The days, the nights, the quiet afternoons
my past, my future, my present
they’re all about you.

The mistakes, the victories,
my dreams, my desires and my schemes
they’re all about you.

The laughter, the joy, the tears, the pain
my heart, my soul, my breath, my very being
all of them ... they’re all about you.

Can't beat this for a lover's poem. The verses combine to give the reader an overall view of love personified. It just doesn't get any better than this.

That he was Michael and I love him so. I'm happy his suffering is over and I know that now he waits for me. In that knowing I find my peace. "In silence this love shall live - CLE" I appreciate your comment very much my friend.

Really good romantic poetry is hard to come by, Marcia. You have nailed it.

I am so sad for your pain, Marcia, but I feel a contentment that you had such a wonderful man, and that you know he is waiting for you.  I believe that I understand, if only a little (few people truly understand another completely, though many profess to), how you live and breathe and sing and wake up for him.  I believe that you are one of the few people who won't be upset by my saying that my bond with my horse, my cat and my dog in Heaven help me to understand.  I am not fortunate (or deserving?) enough to have a man of my own, waiting for me either on Earth or in Heaven, but I am very grateful that you do.
