Outside a tender Texas breeze carries dissolving time away,

Minutes fall into passing hours as hours fall into a passing day,

I’ve loved you every moment of my life since my awakening came,

A first sight love came to me as I realized you would take my name,

Love carries lovers across time’s realm at speeds beyond the norm,

Those burdened with life that know love’s absence in some form,

Endure barriers of time’s resistance that slows each click beyond,

Hours can feel tenfold as tragedy unfolds before reflex can respond,

Has Father Time allowed Cupid to speed through barriers of time?

Has love powered happiness to fly so fast it could be a love crime?

Each time the Texas heat has caused my rigid form to loosely flow,

Always she is near to hold me tight in a display of love only we know,

She has awakened my worn form with a kiss of love that regenerates,

At thirty my hair was white, still I live with a deep pain that penetrates,

The blood flowing through my veins breaks away from broken veins,

By love’s counterbalance I’ve survived hurdles as your love remains,

No doubt there’s a price to pay when living in a world made of dreams,

My heart has felt your heartbeat against bare flesh yet it always seems,

I’m yet to feel your bare flesh to mine as each time is always the first,

My hungering for you can’t be explained nor can this incredible thirst,

Dreams of love wrapped in happiness will speed rapidly towing time,

There’s never enough long minutes in play as I’ve said often in rhyme,

Lose that love or be starved of her and journeys will exceed the limit,

Time will stretch the very fabric of space dragging out every hour in it,

“Modern* English” coined a phrase “I’ll melt with you” still it holds true,

Melt came to be used in love verses, I’ve used it often in rhymes to you,

Our first kiss came to be while shielded from Texas heat that love day,

My love was born two years prior but with that kiss my love would stay.

The end, by Pat for Patti.

I love you

Those kisses? They’re from me and of my lips.

*Popular rock band from the 80’s and 90’s.

My heart has borne so much pain beyond the scope of vision now,

Desire living within my being is far too pleasant to hear somehow,

I am silent today as I feel the need to meditate in thoughts of you,

I have lived a dream yet they don’t remember it was me that knew,

I know life brings joy with payment due each time grace is upon me,

My life is but a blend of loving you as I try to remain alive just to be,

Sweet love has filled my being with sensations that feel to be gold,

My crippled eyes strain to see remnants of an angel I must behold,

This journey of the elders places men where old men shouldn’t be,

For I will cry and let unseen tears fall upon greenery I couldn’t see,

There are creatures small that dwell within the Irish coast for free,

With some envy I might prefer their plight of the repetitious unfree,

In search of an Irishman filled with brew is an easy search if there,

But the homeland of this Irishman is bare my DNA and bare my hair,

Exhaustion has overwhelmed my being so I must rest with loving you,

Deep thoughts played through as I relive moments of a love so true,

In thoughts, memories, dreams of paradise you are always near,

Nearly every moment of loving you is filled with joy year after year,

A blessed moment in my life was renewing our marriage vows too,

I love you sweet angel, I too love how sexual passion flows from you.

The end. For Patti, by Pat

A magic stone fell from the sky leaving a trail not denied,

Beautiful it was with reflections of hidden jewels inside,

Reflecting light in such way to be unseen in a magical way,

A slight clarity in crystalline stone reveal diamonds at play,

Playfully they danced within the confinement of their stone,

Reflecting light of rhythmic beats go unheard when not alone,

In a moment of resting retreat I reflect on how my love’s grown,

I insert this line of loving you so others may share in love I own,

To know you is to love you thus it is evidenced of little try,

Had any young man spent time to know an angel of God’s sky,

Effort to know you true in fulfillment of courting done right,

Means he’d fall in love as did I when we kissed that night,

Perhaps that mysterious stone that fell hard striking the land,

Influenced my being to love you in a way we don’t understand,

I know untruths bring doubt that it influenced my love to grow,

Yet I believe love so instant was of her nearly four years ago,

With but a touch or smile now and then my love grew for four,

Four years of desire without lust grew love as I needed her more,

So far away I was from her and each beat of my heart felt pain,

Many tried to block our way yet I loved you such I shan’t refrain,

Each smile you gave me along with giggles and laughter I adore,

Combining parts to be what defines you along with tinies and more,

In speaking of things laced with smart remarks about sex and love,

I said I love you, you respond of doubt in knowing what I speak of,

I love you so deeply that time is nonexistent in such depth of heart,

Love should have no barriers of touch if both love from the start,

Such love becomes ownership as what and all I am is given to you,

I give pixels I am in photos or cells of my being, I give my life too,

We could walk through paradise with bombs exploding around,

Exploding napalm bring horror to bear but I pull you off the ground,

I carry you away in my arms while bullets rifle through my being,

Is this a dream? I pray so but truth is an anxious witness seeing,

The stone that fell seems to have fallen from Venus or other land,

Mars appears covered with remnants of nuclear war of man’s hand,

Our moon is said to be hollow and out of normal for what should be,

I speak of things to awaken men if I can, we need help can’t you see?

I write of you and her making it appear I’m a schizophrenic guy,

With you being her and she is you translation could make you cry,

Space’s entry came from a stone filled with diamonds given to you,

My love for you came to be of the Heaven’s and you, spoken true.

The end, I love you Patti

I woke this morning to falling rain along with sounds to explore,

Falling rain relaxes me to a point of near exhaustion that I abhor,

Sounds of dripping water inside a room is not a sound to ignore,

My mind brings images in play of damage to the roof and more,

I escape the sound by thinking of an angel that’s within my heart,

My inner self thinks of loving you and how at last it’s time to depart,

I can’t refuse my heart to love you as I have done so from the start,

Your eyes pierced into my being as you smiled so tenderly to impart,

Your beautiful hazel eyes spoke truly with a visual whisper to me,

Those reciting my words to you ask can a whisper be a thing you see,

My heart is tuned to yours in such a way that you tune me so easily,

You’ve known without a notice when I would return home finally,

I seemed a million miles away from you yet I could feel your need,

I prayed so desperately at night to be sent home to you with speed,

Prayers answered in such a way through injury and internal bleed,

God blessed our love and sent me home so our love could proceed,

Your eyes sparkled of jewels upon hearing I was moving home at last,

At last I am coming to you, no one can keep us apart, the die is cast,

Four years of which my love for you has kept me alive as it grew fast,

Today I am born into a world of you to soon hear “I love you” at last.

The end. By Pat.

June 15, 1970. For Patti, From Pat.

I love you so! Thank you Patti.

My day of golden treasure began with a gift given me by you,

Precious days in your hold are true gold especially if times two,

I am grateful to Heaven above that you have loved me so long,

Those questioning my sincerity can now see my love is strong,

A good morning smile from a beautiful woman is another gift,

Given to me from your heart with a smile it gives my spirit a lift,

Only you can lift all that I am to be one within Heaven’s reach,

To never love then to fall in love is something they don’t teach,

My heart knows love more than most men’s hearts will ever know,

Said another way “my heart knows more love” than it can show,

To know your love and to feel you love me is impossible to explain,

Sensations of the heart deliver countries for Queens to name,

Kings give to their Queens and Queens gift their King with an heir,

I am the King of little but I give everything I am to you,I truly care,

A weekend spent loving you is something to be grateful for indeed,

Thank you little angel, I give you all my love, delivered with speed.

The end. To Patti from Pat. I love you
