Poems for Jenny

Although my soul burns and
emotions flare between us
(like fire flies
against the night skies)
I still long for your soft hands,
Alone, with we to surround us.

The seas and skies enlightened
with the stars and embers,
parting as pass our way
riding on the words we say,
we see the future brightened
With the love that we remember.

That affection we have shared,
The nights we held in tandem
while the world revolved
in the temperate fall,
Is, my love, not only rare;
We, you and I, are the only ones.



When I asked myself how I love you
The words not come to me;
How does one depict the night
As its face glows on the sea?
How could I sell out our love
And put words to your beauty?

If an angel held my tongue,
And I wrote all its verses...
If I held a cherubic dictionary
And all angelic sources
Then, and MAYBE then, my love
Could I find the colors for my dove

If my pen spoke your language
Or the notes of a Mahler adagio
Then yours would be my every breath
And you'd know how much I love you so
For while those words and songs escape me
Your love so deeply shakes me

Until you arrive again,
My love, I'll remember you dearly
I long for that coming glorious day
When I can hodl you next to me
And live to love you forever
Our souls parting never



I call out to a far-off coast
And hope you hear my words
I hope you know I love you the most
And all my pleas you've heard

I love you dear, this tree still grows
I revel in the shade
I live in its branches, and I suppose
It's where our love was made

The blossoms, brilliant cherry red
Make our softest wedding bed

The boughs, rugged oaken wood
Built the steps on which we stood

The shade, in which we lie below
Shelters us as our love grows



And I felt your pain.
In a way I never
knew
before
and in a way I could
have never thought
nor
imagined.

And I felt you bleed,
as if it were my arm
my leg
my son.

And I cried with you,
as my life
and
your life
mingled
to be our life.

And I felt your pain.
It was my pain,
though I could not show you.
And I felt our pain.



You feel so warm beside me
As we slumber through forever
Through enchanted eyes I see
A golden, gorgeous treasure.

I tried to call you name the night
To tell you of my love for you
But the words just never came out right
So what was I to do?

I kissed your lips so tender
And your frame so close
I lived that night in nothing better
As the dark passed like a ghost

So I hold close your warmth, my dear
And my mind holds you ever near



I sit in darkness, with fated breath,
For the sun of your smile to shine.
For without your warmth, I am cold as death
Your love has thawed me over time.

So recent our souls joined again
After what felt like infinite years
And now I sit and ponder the rain
As it washes my face from my tears

So long alone, I lived without your touch
And walked alone so desolate
Didn't know I missed you so much
Before the day we'd ever met

But now that we are finally together
I wrap my embrace around you forever



The seduction of the moon subdues me
As I look into your ocean eyes,
And deep within those loving seas
I feel your love and hear your sighs;
Thine soul which sparkles so brightly
Is lovelier than the diamonds it implies.

The stars which give the heavenly glow
Upon the flow'rs you walk upon
Do not come close to all below,
To the shine of you through eons;
My love for you forever grows,
And your beauty lingers in this song.

Although our worlds are far apart
And so many miles divide us,
Your spirit rings loud in my heart
Just as your beauty does;
I long for a fantasy just to start
For I realize I am in love



This way to the Throne Room
