Just because smiles are long
and touches are so few
Doesn’t mean love’s not strong
for dear, I do love you

When the words are only felt
within the mind and heart
Life’s moments in cards dealt
keep fingertips apart.

I keep you here within
this heart for time to hold
I keep you here again
My love of you is told

I let you have my thought
I give it to you freely
A diamond of words bought
which I treasure deeply

I take you in my trek
through each waking day
and you know what the heck
I’ll love you anyway

Magnus darling boy oh what a wonderful piece of delight this is, have you any idea the joy I get from seeing one of your perfect poems? Perhaps you might have some clue, since I cannot do subtle, and those delicate nuances of appreciation just aren’t my style. Obviously I’m a typically English soul, quite unassuming, and more than capable of fading silently into the background. NOT

Anyway this is another utterly utterly perfectly penned poem from you and I absolutely love it. Thank you for my making my day, truly exceptional.
Love and warm stuff
As always
