Raison d'être
CII.
Liquid streams of dreams made true,
Dancing ballets on my bed,
Playing symphonies of blue
Upon the themes within my head.
Love
Is all of this - and more.
Love
Is all of this - and you!

Sunbeams can still seek
Your satin cheek to kiss.
Our laughter can still chase
The darkened gloom
Out empty place
Like this.
A playful breeze
Can still seek
Your silver hair to tease,
My heart can still decree
With you to build our dreams
And fill them ~
Still.

Invitation for me
Plea
For
You,
That I might be an island
On the angry sea
Come true,
Before it thrusts
Your life away
Upon the rugged rocks.
I will accept
Your invitation.

In my garden
You are buttercups
And roses.
Don't you hear
My melody
Hiding in your heart?
Every time we meet
Musical bonanzas start,
Love's tune and melody composes.
Every line is sweet,
Deepened by the measured rests
Between each stanza In the piece.

Once you took my hand
In yours to lead.
Then I took yours.
We walked together.
Either way, the same -
When we are together.
If you aspire to me,
I’ll help you make it
To the top.

HE
You're my first thought every morning.
Quietly there.
You follow me through my day
And share my every breath.
You're a poignant presence
Giving magic meaning
To my everything,
Making out of sounds and rhymes
A song I silently sing.
You're gooseflesh
And the tarantella
In my mind.
You're eccentric, you're fantastic,
You're poetic, you are kind.
You're wholeness, you're completion,
You're wildly alluring, amorous.
You're my missing half.
You stimulate my mind,
You can make me laugh
Or be glamourous.
Someday you'll know my love for you.
I’ll show my secret self
Where love's own self abides,
With you.
With . . . only you.

I looked
And there you are,
My sun
My moon
My star
Of stars.
And in your face
My destiny;
And in my place,
Eternity.

Two, afraid
Too afraid
To be afraid
To be in love.
To be alive!
Yet reaching forth
Beyond the fear
To fill our love.

Tangle-free,
My feeling
Toward you.
My Knight
My day
My light
My way.
If I ever
Doubted you existed,
I can't recall it now.
