If not for your love.
The passion, the fire
an ever burning flame
I would not be

Only through your love
do I exist

If not for the gleam in your eyes
the whispers of your voice
that burning flame
that touch as you said two words
“I do”

Had the passion not brought a union
consummated by two hearts love
a cell would not have been split, born
I would be only a thought

Thank You Dad
For falling in love with her
a beautiful woman
my mother

For, if not for You, for her
I could not be, not say..

Happy Father's Day!
I love you...

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Barry, this is sooooo beautiful, sweet friend, I have missed you and your wonderful words so so much, this past week I was in southern Califoria and I visited San Diego up through Los Angeles! (smiles) I cried reading this because I just envisioned how your dad must have felt when you read this to him, from a sensitive caring and loving heart as yours! God Bless You, sweet friend, HAPPY FATHERS DAY, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Well I am sure glad that they fell in love, Barry...because otherwise, I wouldn't have your beautiful poetry to read.

If not for your love I would have missed some of the best poetry ever.

I rote two of them luv pomes once, here's the second one.......

Come to me
Do not hesitate
I am not funky

Please be mine
Let our hearts entwingle
Like honeysucker

Jump around me
Scuff my boots
Finger poke at me

Skippy -toe by
With owl growls
And Fa-la-la's

Love with me
All your grits
As I love you
Love poem number two...

Barry...exactly!  One reason I love to read men's  poetry is because it gives us the wherewithal to know their minds...

Magnus darling heart, this is utterly utterly delightful. Really lovely absolutely wonderful writing, as always you delight when you write, and when you write with love and thought you shine even brighter than normal.

I tried several times to respond to this last night but I was having a little connectivity problem. I tried when I got back from dinner with Krissy, which was great fun, but I wished I’d been able to post the reply I’d written then. If fairly sparkled with wit and delight, hopefully you’ll forgive me for this one that doesn’t sparkle but does say I love this utterly utterly utterly


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy


Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh
