Beloved

My dearest Beloved …

Rescue me

These nights are long and lonely

And your shadow still sits beside me

Do you remember when we would walk along the lake

The night’s breeze danced around us like little children excited to play outside

And the softness of the full moon followed behind us, keeping watch I suppose

The stars lit, glowing ever brighter and I could not stop looking into your eyes

A story was being written that night

A long winded poem that would remind me of how it felt to hold you

The sadness I would feel if you were gone

And thankfulness I would know for the time I was loved by you

So much time has been wasted my love

And too many walls still remain between us

But love is an never ending treasure

A gift left on the door step for those few that dare take a chance

Perhaps in time, when the pain of losing you wanes

I will once again look into those deep eyes 

And without words ... understand.

Eighteen Years

Romantic words carved into a tree

"I love you" ... Still

Eighteen years later

Rug

Writing my dissertation while sipping wine in front of a warm fire
His hands touch my shoulders Bear skin rug

Anticipation

Holding your hands for the first time
White clouds drift above
Lost in anticipation

Fools Gold

Waiting for time to stop so I can breathe
Staring at the ring upon my finger
Typed papers that require my signature

Slow Dancing

Right down the street from me this lazy river flows. At night I like to watch the sun fall between the shading trees and find their place before the night sky takes over. The beauty of this cannot be described with the exception that I feel like I am watching day and night play hide and seek as children often do.


An evening sky offers its last glimpse of daylight
Growing old with him beside me
Slow dancing

Ex Navy Wife

An empty seat sits in waiting
Wondering if his lips still feel the same
Nine months at sea
