City lights glitter

And reflect neon

From winter’s covering

Snow and ice are evidence

Summer’s grown cold.

The thought of yesterday

Finds me missing you

And nudges me to look up.

I see you curled up

Feline under warm blanket’s paradise

Frosty haze lets me see

Your sleep-driven smile

And the memory of your womanly scent

Fills my soul with a breath of hope

Tender nudges into dream

I look closely at your sleep

Watch your bosom gently heave

With the breath of nocturnal scenes.

I carefully climb in with you

Disturbing no dream

Nor breath

Nor warmth

From slumber’s depth

I hold you in your sleep life

Safe in my arms.

Outside the window

Winter blows and swirls

A howl with snow

Behind drawn curtains.

The winter wind cuts a song

Through the trees and eaves

Of the woods and house.

Snow dust pits the glass

And I feel you press

Yourself against me.

Turn my thoughts from the winter storm

To loving warmth by my side

I lay my head

Just behind your ear

To whisper, I love you

Into your dreams.

We walk through the summer

Pass by the river

Stroll through autumn fire

Hand in hand

And warmly caress your shoulder

In the present.

The affection radiates

To all of heaven

The Universe

Turning the days into night.

The salty-sweet froth

Of time’s passing

And the bitter waters of your love

Rains upon my joy.

I wake alone thinking of you

Wanting, needing you

With wind-driven rain

Beating against my soul

I close my eyes and drift once more

To be near you.

The vision of your youthful glow

And beauty my heart

Years such an ache;

My days standstill.

It is in these moments

That my being reaches

Beyond the boundaries

Of every day and soars

Through the quiet towards you.
