My Love Poetry
Please Note:This is poetry I wrote when I was courting my wife
I
There is a moment
when love transcends
the world of words
and feelings
but exist only
in the spaces between
You and I
where it tugs at our very
being
lifting Us above
the world of common to
one
of our own choosing
where we alone dwell
sharing common worlds
and common fates
while
our love consumes
the spaces
in between....

II
What is our love
but
a silent agreement
made only with eyes
and bodies
moving ever closer
in orbit around a
single moment
when transformed collected
energies that are
Us
become more than what was
intended
into infinite possibility
when we lay entwined shining
brightly as one
breath and knowing only
restless peace
speaking not with I's or me's
instead
in Us and We's
our love remains
a silent contract made
only
in lifetimes...

III
I often wonder
my luck
which led me to
your smiling eyes
greeting me
with green love so
intense and pure I
explode
with desires to touch
and consume your
every inch
in an everlasting
ecstasy
of Us
I often wonder
my love
which led me to
your smiling eyes
of green passion so
true
I have never known
before you...

To know you
as I do and
understand our place
in this universe of
swirling change dreams
of love
to ask the futility
of life when
death
looms greatly
I hear the
shining answer:
ringing like a bell
shattering
all barriers
making
what is and
shall be
worth the price of
our love
is life's answer
to death...

Yours
is the nature
of all
I could wish
wish for and
could not dream of
sweet melodies in our
hearts
beating close in one
moment of ecstasy
I fulfill a dream when
in your eyes I see happiness
I know what love is for
you my sweet woman
of women
and dream of dreamers
you are the nature of all
I could wish for and
never
be without...

Loving you is the
sweet smile on your lips,
(only sweeter is your kiss upon mine)
the lovely gaze in your eyes when in
them I know
the bliss of passions hidden
so true I
never knew any feeling
that could compare
the divine
glory
of loving
you...

When I consider what (Our
most perfectly imperfect)
design I am surprised
how loving I have become
through your gentle
teaching
my life is fuller in every
conceivable way I have
grown beyond what I
was into a man
I never was before
I saw the beautiful
woman
you are I think of
all the silly cliches
of love
which have come
true when I consider
what
(Our most perfectly imperfect
design)
We are...

XI
what is it
about Our warm inviting
body
that draws me so close
to desire i could never
deny
the attraction
i have for You even
though sometimes You
seem unable to believe
i find You so beautiful
can't You feel the power that
binds Our heart into
something
so strong no other
could break
Us to make new
what was old
hand
in hand We walk
into the shining light
of Our love
never allow one
to forget what it is
about Our beauty that
brings me into You my
love, my heart, my everlasting
dream it is not always what You
are but what We might
become...
