Electricity
affection
Time, it’s everything…
Time,
I’ve realized,
it’s everything
to me.
It’s the language
I speak,
my one true love,
a treasure
hardly ever seen
for very long.
Time
is indeed
the most
valuable gift
ever given.
And there is
only one
who shares
their time with me,
and that’s why
they hold
my heart.

The difference
Love is just a word
Four letters is all it is
Bliss when said by you

Because I love you so much…
I find myself swimming
In the depths of your stare
Sometimes I look too long
Completely unaware
And yet you smile back
Catching me and my gaze
Knowing full well
How much you amaze
And I wonder how you do it
How I get so lost in your eyes
All-consuming intensity
The fire never dies
I can always feel you
Even if we don’t touch
It’s like fireworks in my soul
Because I love you so much

He lingers…
He lingers nearby
On the edge of the page
The page we’re still writing
Where love continues to blossom
Unfolding ever so delicately
And he’s mesmerized
By the mind-boggling splendor
His eyes so bright
Enthusiastically consumed
With the miraculous happenings
Of what he observes
And he stays a little longer
Leaning in for a closer view
Lingering in the loveliness
Of our imperishable page
So beautifully written
Full of all the days we’ve shared
Memories of us
And the many years we’ve loved
