       Cowboys and Angels

   Cowboys and angels
Indians and gnomes
   Like loves swells
Within our hearts,
   These things
Fill up our home.
   Grizzly bears and fairy books
Denim jeans and lace
   Sunlight streams
Through kitchen doors,
   As I kiss
Your smiling face.
   Harley pipes and wind chimes
Neil Young and Prince
   Music played
When we first met,
   Two hearts dance
Together ever since.
   Arguments and apologies
Sobriety and slips
   "I love you"
Will always be,
   The final words
To pass between our lips.
   Tombstone and Brigadoon
Shootouts and songs
   No matter what
Tomorrow brings,
   It's with each other
We belong.

Ah, A lovely dedication of love.  Well written verse here.  *s* I enjoyed it much.

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

A great and true to life love story...life always has its slips but love has a constant.

Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream.

Eagleone, Sven, and Paladin, Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. To-day after the terrible tragedy in New York and Washington, this poem means even more to me. Simple Abundance. Chris
