GRANT ME A BOON

Of material possession
I crave only
One strand,
Of your silken hair,
Whose shine surpasses,
The first light
Of the morning star.

That I may
Treasure it ever,
In memory,
Of you,
And in my
Darkest Darkness,
Bring it forth,
That it
May light
The way.

IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS

At night, alone,
In the dim light
An awareness of you
Creeps up
Upon itself.

What is that thing
Of you
That reads a book?
What is that thing
Of you
That writes a book?

The awareness grows
As the surge
Of live blood Swells
to a rhapsody
Of warm bewilderment
And the joy
of knowing.

THE MEDICINE MAN

When you
Are not well
I scratch my head
And toss my mind,
In search to see,
If I can find,
Something,
Big or small
To help you out
Of what you're in.

But that's not it,
For whether
I put
My wits in place,
Or scatter them
All about,
I find
And always see,
The only thing
That's good
For you
Is me.

SHARING LOVE's WORDS

Words of loving thoughts
Will always bring us
Closer, my dearest,
My beloved.

You are the most
Wonderful person
To ever come
My way.

You are that
Unique individual
That I have wished for,
As a best friend,
All my life.

You, who do easily
Respond with vows,
To my words, so much so
That you constantly fill
A pure empty well
With the nutritious
Waters of life.

A well from which
Springs your maiden self.
You are the source
That now inspires
My daily dreams.

With your kind,
Gentle words,
I have a new view
And direction for life.

You, my heart of love,
Are the first person
In all this time
Who has ever
Been able to match
The tenderness in words
That I never
Tire of hearing
Or using.

Love like this
Is all we need.
You are the keeper
Of what I have
Always known,
Is looking for me,
And that I am
Very much
Dressing up for.

Us, coming forward
In sharing these
Miraculous days
Of complete and
Total gentle peace,
Relaxing with each other,
While we languish
In comforting thoughts
Is the better life,
And in which, we bring
To each other
Through our tender hearts
All that is wealth.

Forever and ever after.
Affectionate and generous
Loving words gives us
A shining light,
Which shows the way
To evermore time together
And safety in our happiness.
