Dearest One I've lived other lives Leap-frogging O'er this land of my birth I have sought your mouth Saw the twinkle in your eyes I've pressed my hands Into your hands And have heard your trilling laughter Yes, I searched for you Without my knowledge of said search I sought your charming excesses All these things I pursued from woman to woman From one to the other Lips kissed Bodies embraced Only to bid them adieu Until my Dearest One there was you I now have love tokens Hanging on a nail I have pictures Hidden from view except from me I have tasted your sweetness From a letters sealed with lipstick kisses I have smelled your perfume On letters liberally given We have exchanged vows of love We know the darkness' of our past Though our flesh Has yet to mingle with the other's flesh We are as one entity Without that physical merging Oh, Dearest One If I were to die this very night I will die A loved man, and that my Dearest One Is everything ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Bruce, when you comment on my poems of love it means a lot to me. You are the writer of love and no one can touch you, so when you read and comment on my efforts it is special. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

this love is perfect as it, the physical may never match the poet's deep feelings as they stand today in the moment of the poem. |

The physical remains to be seen, Emma, but I accept that and it makes not one whit of difference how I feel about her. Thank you so much for being here this morning. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

You are very blessed to be able to experience this kind of love. It seems to transend all other things. I don't understand it, but I know deep down it is something we all long for. Knowing you have this now, makes reading about your past easier to read...one knows your story has a happy ending. Lori  |

How observant you are, Lori, observant and correct in everything you say. And thank you very much for saying them. Yes, I may still write about hard times, but it is in third person thee days, my first person guy is deliriously happy. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
