it is quite satisfactory
to tread
the very same ground
and on the very same earth
as she does
its enough
yes, quite enough
to share the very same night's stars
shining down on us
my vanity
has never been so huge
that I thought I could lasso the wind
or change the directions
of tornadoes or hurricanes
my vanity is full to the bursting point
when daily
I feel love for her
it engulfs me
like a grand symphony
where all the musical instruments
have blended together
bathing me
saturating me and making me smile

Beautifully penned poetry of love JerryPat. It reminds me of that cliche` sounding phrase "worshiping the ground she walks on". I actually said that once and I'm not even religious. I think she swooned when I said it, but your poetry might have got her to...

Hey Bluesy! Thank you most generously for your kind thoughts and words about my write. I had to smile when you said . . . "but your poetry might have got her to..." Got her to what I don't know, but it all feels good to me. Thank you again!

Oh, I was meaning to say something sexual that would have led to Ron swooping down on us sending your poem to the great abyss otherwise known as "Insights". Hmm..."Insights"? Yeah, right! You and I are in need of "insights" aren't we!

Peace upon you JerryPat...and one or two on me. Got any of that cheap burgundy of yours chilled? I like it room temp too! As long as it's not Boone's Farm or Ripple. Nah, I'll have them if I can't find what I want. I like a jug of Emerald Chablis now and then when I can find it. Well then, I'm off my friend to search for morning. Maybe if I sit real still, it'll find me. See ya pal.

I think this is one of your finest love poems Jerry. A man like you should always have love in his life. ~L
