I’ve reached so often through the stars in search of love’s grasp,

When found it doesn’t come as expected with release of a gasp,

A joyful smile came across my face as my heart responded in kind,

True my heart didn’t smile but it did find the love within my mind,

Once I found my angel’s touch I realized how quickly love can grow,

Her touch, her smile, her everything, I desperately wanted to know,

Passion seemed to present her aura that it could sync within mine,

Love’s brilliance can’t be described unless you’ve seen Patti shine,

From but a kiss of ten minutes came a lifetime commitment to her,

If reason came to avoid marriage vows, our love would still prosper,

Perhaps it’s brought by her precious kiss that gave a lifetime imprint,

Vocal vows penetrate mankind’s souls when said as a commitment,

At a point within each day of life, since our first kiss I’ve pondered,

I think of “the kiss” as it’s known, and pray time not be squandered,

Each moment with her is beyond spoken word when said of its worth,

My love is beyond every word of language since spoken word’s birth,

If only she could penetrate my being and our essence’s be joined,

My written rhymes describe that to only her my heart is conjoined,

I am complete, in absence of nothing, if only she could understand,

I just knew my life would be whole when in marriage I gave my hand.

The end,

By Pat for Patti, December 12, 2017

I love you baby, Merry Christmas!

My wings are spread wide,

In flight over the countryside,

Beauty abounds in all I see,

In reflected colors on the sea,

If you knew my every thought,

You’d be in all I know or forgot,

Sunrise is of you as all awakens,

Of you my heart is overtaken,

Whispers of love flowing in wind,

Fill my heart with love I will send,

To you, it rides upon wind’s back,

I hope it takes the shortest track,

Morning arrives reflecting on trees,

Daylight is welcome as the dark flees,

Dawn’s twilight brings songbird sound,

Evening twilight helps love to abound,

Everything will be alright I heard,

From your heart’s unspoken word,

It came, soft and tenderly sweet,

Worries known will soon retreat,

It broke the night sunlight did,

Somewhere the darkness hid,

My arms tire as fluttering wings,

I’ll rest and see what light brings,

You cuddle close whispering sweet,

It was you that brought woes retreat,

You brought flight to my heart again,

Of your love love’s journey can begin,

Daylight fades to show stars in dance,

Evening’s twilight will welcome romance,

Reasons to rejoice as I’ll hold you tight,

But from a touch of you I may take flight.

The end, for Patti

I love you,

As water flows across the land to exit at every ocean’s door,

Love courses through my veins but it will always be in store,

With each breath of fresh air I pull into my lungs it’s of you,

For the essence of you I seek to permeate my being through,

For many, raindrops relate to tears of sorrow from clouds above,

As I stand in falling rain I’m filled with thoughts of you and love,

I see beauty all around as I am overwhelmed by beauty of you,

Red roses are of your lips and your eyes reflect the sky of blue,

I serenade you with rhyming words of love written of my heart,

Flowing water creates a rhythmic sound as Nature does her part,

Songbirds sing as others fly about creating the sounds we hear,

As love for you fills my heart each moment in time is held dear,

Like water our love shall flow to wash away fear of future time,

As visionaries of united hearts we’ve tread forward in rhyme,

Love has filled my soul with such force I cry out your name,

Our love and our name…our name and our love..is the same.

The end, by Pat for Patti

I love you Patti

As the Sky absorbs daylight and darkness engulfs the night,

I think of you as I reach for an angel before she takes flight,

Over and over my mind pulls forth memories of loving you,

They are many, my memories, well over a trillion and two,

Your beautiful smile is in every memory along with your kiss,

Over and over the memories of making love bring soft bliss,

Have you felt an empty night or have I held you near and tight,

I pray you’ve never felt alone and instead shared in love’s delight,

Oh so beautiful, so tender to touch, I’ve loved you more each day,

Have I delivered love as promised and in every love word I say,

I love you more each day and absorb you into what I’ve become,

I’m a better man because of you, from but a touch of my little one.

The end, I love you

I woke from a slumber that seemed to be a hundred years or more,

As I looked across the landscape I wondered what else was in store,

I walked the desert sand as heat waves created mirages unfit to drink,

Heat of day penetrated my soul so deeply I found no way to think,

As I stumbled across barren soil made mostly of sand and dry dust,

I saw an angel in the distance that begged me on across earth’s crust,

So shapely of form ”twas the angel” yet my crusted eyes barely saw,

Soon I had to crawl as I was weakened of thirst and my throat was raw,

As I laid in heat I dreamed of the angel and realized she was of you,

I awoke to find raindrops falling to form small puddles of rain and dew,

I sipped of many puddles until I had my fill of the miracle of desert rain,

When deep in the water’s reflection I saw a man aged and filled of pain,

He sat alone in a place that seemed to overflow of a memory once held,

Staring at empty squares of the spaces where photographs once dwelled,

Clean spaces on an aged wall awaiting Kilz to overcoat a good time past,

That thought saddened my heart to think of how quickly a lifetime is cast,

When within my mind I felt a tug that summoned my heart to a place,

My speeding heart announced your image as it does upon seeing your face,

Am I in deep reflection or is a reflection from the deep all that I can find,

Have I passed through the ages or have I wondered to you from the blind,

I feel the angst of separation I once knew from a time that seems long ago,

As I depart the chains of loneliness fear creates sensations I use to know,

Will time be of such quantity that I might fulfill dreams now that I’m near you,

As I ponder and stare in absence of strain I’m unsure now what I should do,

Suddenly I see elephants that seemed to wave goodbye with their trunk,

A trumpeted sound from deep inside those beasts made me feel drunk,

What does it mean I wondered to my now intoxicated state of mind,

Startled at such a sight I awoke to find slumber had created the find,

“Are you okay?” delivered me unto you with a startle I cannot describe,

How often have I dreamed of you and awoke with words I had to scribe,

My recently repaired heart was pounding hard against my breast plate,

The sound of your voice has ignited love’s desire into a powerful state,

The beauty of your eyes in morning light ignites more within than just lust,

Childlike wonderment fills my heart as my aura is suddenly forward thrust,

I feel the essence of who I am engulf you as we truly meld momentarily,

Awake, once again I’ve escaped being the missing photo no one can see.

The end.  For Patti by Pat. I love you baby.  May 9, 2017

As the sky engulfs the sun in a caress of eternal love,

I’ve looked so often without realizing love shown above,

A full moon tonight engulfs the landscape with light,

The light wraps itself around all it touches so very tight,

And I, I hang on your every motion as I watch you walk,

Even today I become a blubbering fool when you sweet talk,

How many memories have I lost because I’m overfilled,

Perhaps it occurs when you approach and I’m thrilled,

As I pull you close for a hug I find the youth of yesteryear,

Still as memories of war’s departure come I feel a tear,

Each dance and each caress are more intense than past,

As I look into your eyes I know our love will forever last.

The end.  I love you Patti
