To be honest, I don't know if this is poetry or not. If it is, then it's my first piece of poetry other then the love notes I used to send all the fine young ladies during class in high school.


Dearest Catherine

To my beloved wife, beautiful woman, loving, strong and courageous
Most important female in my life
Today is an exceptional day
Because I am loved
Loved by you

Blessings abound, but you are the greatest and most perfect blessing
I could ever receive
Greater then a new born child out of a mothers womb
Or a couple embraced in laughter
Greater then a sunset on the plains of your motherland
You are my angel
Who loves, protects and understands the very being I am
You are simply wonderful

Beautiful chocolate lips
Your smile can move mountains
You are mine
And I am indebted to God for eternity
Forever, because he has delivered you to me

I once was lost and then you found me
Loved me, carried and molded me into who I am
You are like the wind on a summer's eve
Gentle and calm
You are mine

To my beloved wife, beautiful woman, loving, strong and courageous
Future mother of my children
Thank you
For being you

In your light I learn how to love
In your beauty how to make poems
You dance inside my chest where
no one sees you and that sight becomes art

When the heart writes such beautiful thoughts, it's indeed poetry~
Softly and elegantly said~

Thank you for the kind welcome. I  wish I could comment on other people's poetry, but I have so much to learn about the english language, writing and poetry, that it would be unfair to cast an uneducated opinion on the work here. All in good time I suppose.

Welcome to passions!

And a very lovely tribute to your wife!

This line:

"You are my angle"

Might you have meant, angel?

Silly me, a little thing called intuition got the best of me and made me change it from "angle" to its current spelling.

Thank you all for the kind words.
