I love you always
With every breath I take
Rustling leaves in the meadow
Birds flying high in the sky
I love you always
Every moment we are apart
In my dreams, nestled close
Til we’re together once again
I love you always
Knowing you will never be mine
Fantasy keeps me alive
For dreams of you and time.
Date Unknown
Time has passed, like the millennium
Farewells not to be spoken between us
Fifteen plus years, face to face
Just frequent calls
Memories often fade
A little girl remembers
Sunday church, country drives
Trips to the ice cream parlor, days gone by
Baths in a wooden tub
On top of the kitchen table
Watching the cows come down the hill
Spitting watermelon seeds on the grass
Fresh corn right off the cob
Fried with young tomatoes
A journey to Alameda to see my Dad disembark
A young soldier just back from Korea
Reunited with his young family whom you held safe
I still can picture you
Your red can of chewing tobacco
A piece to place inside your mouth
A virtual habit of days past
Hanging on to my comforter and pillow
Stored lovingly among your treasures
Singing the praises of the Lord for his creations
Now you rest in his loving arms
No more pain, no more suffering
Someday we will meet again, and I can say
I love you once, once again
30 January 1996
Love, a four letter word
Knows no color
Picture, you and I
White, black
Color me love
Imperfect that I am
Erase your fears
Touch my heart
Bond, you, I
Across the divide
Picture me awake
Loving you,
An illusive dream!
December 1992
Fading
light
Against
the dark
Distance
separates
Two
halves
Of
one.
