YOUR NEVER-ENDING SEA
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

The closeness that I feel,
~ even when you’re far from me,
Feeds my soul with the fount of life,
From your never-ending sea.

We sense the other's presence,
~ The air is charged yet calm.
And when we touch ~ skin to skin,
It soothes like healing balm.

You give to me so selflessly,
Through kindness and adore.
And your loving sates my passion,
But I always yearn for more!

Your thoughtfulness and caring,
Go beyond what I have known.
I blossom and I flourish,
In the boundless love you’ve shown.

Your presence is a gentle kiss,
That always brings me joy.
You treat me as a precious gift,
And not just simple toy.

Your humor and your view of life,
Put the smile in my eyes.
Each morning, eve, and night with you,
Is a day in paradise.

My respect and admiration,
For you ~ they have no bounds.
You stand above all other men,
And your intelligence astounds!

You worked for your successes,
~ You engender respect from peers.
And your strong constitution,
Casts away all doubts and fears.

When I'm cradled in your arms,
All else slips from our view.
All we know is a circle of warmth,
In a world of me and you.

The closeness that I feel,
~ even when you’re far from me,
Feeds my soul with the fount of life,
From your never-ending sea.

You've just set the bar pretty high for this year's Valentine poetry!

Wish I were on the receiving end of such!

Nice work.

I was just thinking of you, Earth Angel.  And the first thing I saw when I opened PiP today was your sweet poem for your special someone.  What a wonderful relationship you describe!  I'm quite sure he will be touched!  (Valentine's gift for him?)  Hope you are doing well; you're still in my prayers....and guess what I finally purchased?!!!  KBHBLY......lily jo

Hello, Missy! I am pleased that you dropped by and that you enjoyed my poem. I wrote it for my boyfriend for Valentines Day. He is one in a million!

We started out as the best of friends and then it turned to love! It is wonderful to be in love with your best friend and to receive that love in return!

Happy hugs,
Linda

Alas, but no. The mold was broken after his birth in Nottingham, England. If he had had a brother, I'd have loved to have him as well! lol ~ Two for the price of one! lol On second thought, that would be greedy of me so I would have had to send him your way! Flirty 2

Sending you a warm hug this cold day in February!

Jo ~

Good morning, lovely lily lady! Yes, this is the valentine poem I wrote for my BF! He writes the loveliest of poems for me. Even though he claims he is not a poet, he truly is. His poetry may not be technically superb but his poems come from the heart and they are absolutely lovely!

Yippee! I think I know what your new purchase is!!!! I can't wait to literally hear it! lol

Love to a special kindred spirit!

suthern lady ~

Hi, Belle! I wish for every woman in the world to know such love. He always tells me that we each are stars in our own right but that together we become a super nova!

Please forgive my gushing! I am just giddy with loving and being loved.

We met going on five years ago and it keeps getting better and better! This poem came straight from my heart!

Hugs with love, dear friend!

Dear Linda, your beautiful words of love are a wonderful caress for his soul. When love is sung like this the blooming period becomes permanent.
