A candle within me
A small flame burning,
Fueled by your eyes, your laughter, your astonishing smile.
A yearning within me
An aching longing,
Deepened by your joy, your charm, your ephemeral grace.
A love within me
A passion everlasting,
You dance among the stars, and in my fevered heart.

The Reason Is You
You're the reason for these butterflies
That are fluttering uncontrollable inside of me
These butterflies will never calm
They've taken over my whole body
You're the reason for this smile
That brightens my whole face
This smile will never frown
You've unknowingly became my all
You make me feel alive once again
You've erased my past with just a touch
Chased my fears with just one glance
You broke my mold with that first kiss
I thought my happiness was forbidden
Until you took my world and killed my demons
Read into all my deepest dreams
And gave them beautiful wings
You're the reason I believe in love

Our Story
My grizzled eyes stalked your lissome limbs
And discovered camouflaged curves.
I purred a secret smile.
I'm not reckless and thought to retire.
But then your winsome smile.
My surprised spirit soared on seldom seen condor wings.
My excitement ripened like a restrained volcano.
You snared my mind with comfortable associations.
We progressed; each touch thrilled arousal.
Now, you welcome my eyes, my lips, and my feckless fingers.
My touch is no trespass.
You've let me pass the sentries around your soul.
And we soar.

Imagine
Imagine the woods,
Without a tree,
Imagine the rivers,
Without the sea,
Imagine yourself,
Without me,
Imagine how lost,
I would be.

Timeless Valentine
As time goes by from year to year,
One thing is surely true, my dear;
Though decades come and decades go,
Just seeing you sets me aglow.
Time shifts my body; I start to sag,
When I pass a mirror, it can make me gag.
My joints all ache; I can hardly move;
Still a smile from you, and I'm in the groove.
Getting older can be a pain,
But with you along, I can't complain.
Despite the things that we go through,
I know I'll never stop loving you.
Your loving heart turns life to play,
As we laugh at time from day to day.
So I write this poem, and I'll hang my sign,
Saying, "Always Be My Valentine."
