 Uploaded with ImageShack.us I awaken with the darkness will be an hour before daylight and the room brightens with the morning sun life is easy and lively sunshine brightens the day church bells call the faithful life is good life is bursting with mirth I laugh at Zoe my mutt I think she is laughing at me either that or she wants to go outside all this laughing one might think I am deranged nothing further from the truth nothing can compare to how I feel I can't believe my good luck I love you more today than yesterday ©February 24, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (02-27-2012 11:25 AM).] |

That last line leaves a happy sigh and smile with the reader... and, in my case, a bit of envy. LOL Love looks so good on you! |

When it shines, it shines, doesn't it? Brought to mind something I'd written a number of years ago ... hope you don't mind... All My Love I love her, because just the though of her fills the far reaches of my soul with an incomparable warmth, a richness, a fullness, that nothing can equal. I love her because when she touches me all the pressures of existence seem so small, and insignificant. No odds are to large, no task insurmountable; there is nothing I cannot do. I love her because when she looks into my eyes I feel I could absorb her into my being, and live mingled as a single entity. ,I love her because when she speaks, even in anger there is no sound I would rather hear, and when she speaks softly, for me alone to hear, the prettiest music in all the world is merely an attempt at the unattainable. I love her because she fulfills in me the need of one soul for another, the cravings of flesh for flesh, and provides an outlet for all that I am. I love her because she is she, individual, incomparable, unparalleled warmth, beauty, and grace; a paradigm of all that is wonderful. I love her completely, and unrevokably forever, and always. W. James Beard, Jr. © august 2000 Very cool piece my friend...happy for you. j. |

I'm hanging my head a bit after reading this fantastic ode to the woman you loved, j. My poem somehow seems a bit worn and tattered compared to this one. Thanks for including it. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
