once she was a stranger to me
but with a gentle look
from an old photograph
she smiled
reached out her hands
we became lovers in spirit
I will never be the same again
my life has a brightness to it
even now
that it hasn’t had for years
if ever
when our souls merged into one
how lucky I was
I'd found a love such as hers

Those kind of girls/women only seem to come in one's. They do make you feel lucky even if you don't get that far. Warm poetry, a really nice one.

You are big time right, Boomer, and thank you for expressing yourself. You said it the way it was.

What a good woman can make out of a man. That being said, nothing exceeds the pain of losing her. There's just no easy way to learn this.

Touch, but don't look

To be lucky in love is a blessing, to be sure Jerry. The loss of love invokes the old saying that "it is better to have loved and lost, then to never having loved at all", or something like that. Great poetry as always.

Loving Linny Jean is poetry.
