Being feminine,
sophisticated,
deep inside my mind
you're the real beyond my whims
the blessing of my seasoned time.      

Yet every time you're gone,
not very often,
you call faithfully,
your familiar voice
stirs my captured feelings.
You sound lonely, insecure,
coaxing me to speak
words of meaning
that bridge our hearts together.
I assure you,
without ever having to say so,
though I do!
my love for you will never die.
                      
I hear you laugh
at my boyishness.
I laugh at myself,
because I've never been able to control
how I still act
treasuring those tender moments,
escaping back to innocence
to that place in our love,  
where recognition
of our faithful need for each other
is our existence!

Ain't doin nothin at all
Just answerin the call

There is such a joy of "easy" friendship and love to this--you've described a bonding of the soul most beautifully Eric.

Loved this.

There's a captivating innocence in your boyishness...
and it's refreshing...

"I hear you laugh

i think the sound of laughter is sweeter than music, love should be about laughter,
very nice

Hello ethome. Love the title...loved the words. Very pleased to see you are from Canada too. I am from Ontario. Been in the States for 5 years now...but I still call The North home. Wonderful poem. Glad I popped in to read it.

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!

Way to go, Eric!  This poem is incredible for the message it conveys.  I hope she keeps a copy on her desk, in her purse, and in her suitcase.  These are words she'll always love.
