First, thank you all for the birthday wishes !
Second, I got the ISBN # for my book
here are some more drafts from the Second book of Poem
Beauty and the Beast - a collection of Love poems
Seasons
for maggie
As summer fades to fall
I watch as my autumn arrives
With glory and distinction
Rejoicing; knowing - I have a full winter ahead
With this change of the climate
The dance season is again upon us.
Each year brings a new partner
To dance with and hold
Once it was techno
Then Salsa, then Tango
I look forward to a slow
Tennessee Waltz
Or an good ole fashioned
Texas two step
Beautiful and elegant
The Creators second greatest gift
Perhaps it is that
Amplified sounds
Does not agree
As a smooth and soft melody does
I have never seen you
In your full splendor
On the dance floor or stage
I hope you will - save the last dance for me
Train Wreck
for heather
I lay awake wondering
Where you are
I have painted this picture
In my mind a hundred times
Once you lay next to me
Only for a few hours
Each night you come back to visit
Even if only for a few seconds
I treasure each of those
Precious few hundred minutes
Knowing you could not stay
Even if you wanted to
Still my thoughts drift to you
Much like a train wreck about to happen
I can not bear, not to watch
The beauty of two locomotives
Recklessly running
Full steam ahead
Knowing they are each
On a crash course
The best way to survive
Is to impact faster
Than the other
Still I am glad to be onboard
Touch
for Vivian
Your touch heals my soul
Like that of no other
I can feel the pain leave my body
When you put your hand on my shoulder
The softness in you smile
The fluidness in your walk
Watching you fidget
And especially when you wiggle
Casual contact
Perhaps it is osmosis
Allowing your kindness
To enter my body as the evil leaves - willingly
All eyes are upon you
When you enter a room
The gentlest Raylette of light
Your inner beauty glows out
You touch each soul
In some special way
You make the world a smaller place
And keep its tears away
I love to hold you
On a long winters night
After a long full kiss
Goodnight
Senses
I want you to know
That I taste the beauty
In the air
After you exhale
Your scent lingers
Long after you have left a room
Still floating days later
Leaving me in a blossoming haze
So sweet
There is not substitute or equal
My pallet is not refined
Yet it knows greatest when upon it
The wind speaks your name
Calling out to me
Like a child looking
For a lost puppy
When I see you
My express is that of
The reunited four legged friend
And young searcher
I can not remember
And hope I never forget
All that you have done
You heighten all of my senses
Anima Bella
for Phyllis
In the park
On a windy day
I see a beautiful girl
She has your eyes
Her mother pushes her stroller
With pride and joy
They are radiant
as I remember you were
Bursting with energy
Full of life
You cared for one and all alike
Southing those you touched
As a young man
God gave me a gift
In the ignorance of my youth
I threw it away
I can not help but wonder
What would have happened
Had I and the courage
To tell you the truth
Perhaps you could have
Forgiven me
I wish I had not given in
Never did I mean, to hurt you with my sin
You loved me
With your heart
I caused you pain
And that I regret
I look back now
And realize I compare all others
To you and your
Beautiful Soul
Surrender
I have been captured by your love
You tenderness and kindness
Caught me off guard
In a world like this
How could I expect
To find such happiness
Joy without sorrow - raw and natural beauty
With refinement and Wit
With a single kiss
My life was changed
The mere mention of your name
Brings a smile to my face
Never before, have I felt this way
The air seems fresher
and the Sun warmer,
Even on a colder winter day
To resist would be futile
As I am willingly
Under you spell
And that is wonderful
I am your prisoner of love
Yours and yours alone
Raise the white flag
I have fully surrendered to you
