A thousand fair suitors all stab at your heart

A thousand fair suitors all stab at your heart

Those poets of movement and jockeys of art

The high-volume vendors who hustle romance

Splashing their canvas with color and dance

The blasters of trumpets, gold banners unfurled

They offer lush gardens in glistening worlds

Yes, bearers of torches and carvers of stone

Who whisper their sonnets and surrender their thrones

And there in your doorway, no shadow is cast

No lingering voices, no ghosts from the past

Just a cluster of walls, and a window of pain

Collecting the heartache like droplets of rain

Still I stand before you, with palms to the sky

No gold in my pocket, no thorn in my side

And all I can offer, where words have no place

Is a body that trembles, and this love that awaits

I love the way you touch me

I love the way you touch me

so soft and sensuously.

It makes me tingle all over.

I love the way you kiss me.

It starts a fire deep down inside of me

and makes me yearn for you even more.

I love the way you look at me.

It makes me feel beautiful and treasured.

Most of all I love the way you love me.

When you walk in my whole day gets better.

And even when you're not with me

you're in my thoughts always.

It doesn't matter what we don't have or what we do have.

The most important thing is we have each other

and no one can take that away.

I am the luckiest woman in the world

and I don't need or want anything

but you beside me loving me to the end of our days.

A Dream Come True

Feelings that once were hidden

Are now expressed to you.

Days that once were stormy

Are now the brightest blue.

Times that once were lonely

Are now filled with pleasure.

All that once was mine alone

Are now things we both treasure.

Nights that once were cold

Are now comforting and warm.

Fears that once were very real

Are now gone with the storm.

A heart that once was broken

Can now finally mend.

A person once alone in life

Can now call you a friend.

Dreams that once were longed for

Are now all coming true.

The love I once thought was gone

I have now and forever in you.

Until my last breath... until my last day

The sun rises above the hillcrest,

As does the joy of my heart;

Rays of warmth and love,

From her I will never depart.

Fresh dew upon the grass,

Young birds chirp in their nests;

I watch her gently sleep,

My love to her I silently profess.

I enjoy the stillness and calm,

Watching as she smiles and dreams;

She brings me to stillness and peace,

Like that of a slow flowing stream.

My heart and soul flow with love,

And I smile as I quietly reflect;

I’ve been handed a sweet princess,

A sweet princess to love and to protect.

A vow to myself I make,

As she quietly sleeps away;

To love and always cherish her,

Until my last breath... until my last day.

I was sort of hoping you would come along

I was sort of hoping,

That you would come along,

Like the answer to a prayer,

And the music to a song.

Like the kind of thing that happens,

At a special place and time,

That will change our lives forever,

Like a fantasy of mine.

The fantasy was there before,

I ever knew your name,

And now that I have found you,

We will never be the same.

So, pardon, if I look at you,

Forgive me if I stare,

At the fantasy I knew before,

I saw you standing there.

For I was always hoping,

That you would come along,

Like the answer to a prayer,

And the music to a song

It is said there are Angels In Heaven above

It is said there are Angels

In Heaven above

And they shine with the light

Of an inner love

Of these things

I had not a clue

But that was

Before I found you

For in you I’ve found

A love that is so right

It shines all around

With the brightest of light

It comes from somewhere

So deep within

That it has no beginning

And knows no end

Your love is a light

That brightens each day

Of all of the people

You see on your way

Where ever you go

Or whatever you do

All see the love

That you have inside you

That God sent you here

To a place where you’d be

Sharing such love

With someone like me

Is proof for me

That angels exist

And are filled with a love

That no man could resist

I thank God each day

For finding the time

For looking down on me

And making you mine

So yes there are Angels

In heaven above

I know because God

Sent me one to love

Your touch is with me always,

Your touch is with me always,

It’s burnt into my skin,

As soft and warm as sun rays

When a summer day sets in.

Your soft voice never silent,

It’s forever in my ears,

Serenading every moment

And calming all my fears.

Your arms always enfold me,

The strength of angels wings,

They support and protect me wholly

With the safety a true love brings.

While I can never repay you,

For the wonder you bring to my life,

I can forever be true,

And forever be a true wife.

It Is You I Dream Of

A flower grows from beneath a blanket

Of fine and purest white

It reaches toward the sun for warmth,

For heat and for the light

My love for you grows stronger still,

Despite the surrounding cold

My heart is yours, bartered gone

For yours has it been sold

Its petals shine from morning dew

Its stem grows stiff and strong

It stands strong through the freezing cold

It stands the winter long

I long for you, for your soft touch

I miss the way you smile

The longer that we stay apart

The longer every mile

The flower stretches through the snow

It reaches toward the sun

And now without you the color is gone

The flower's petals, dun

But as we talk, and as we learn

The flower comes back to life

The snow now melts and goes away

As you take away my strife

Spring is here and growth abounds

As you and I are one

We are together, we are in love

The snow for now is done

I see the future, in dreams I have

Of our life, long and true

I see the times where all I need

Are comforting words from you

I see the times when winter comes

As winter tends to do

But we still love, and we still live

And I do still love you

And so we live, with children ours

And a life of much to see

With love we live, to live we love

Happy together are we

I see the flower, older now,

But still strong with fresh new leaves

I see it growing, tall and strong

Reaching to the eaves

We are now old, as years have passed

But old together are we

And strong our love still today

As strong as it can be

If time could stand still

If time could stand still, I’d freeze it here,

So you’d always hold me, close and near.

In your arms, where I’m meant to be,

Filled with the perfect love you’ve given me.

A bond so strong, a hold so tight,

To know you’re the one; my ‘Mr. Right’.

A blessing sent from up above,

In you I’ve found my one true love.

Our lives entwined to be as one,

Upon this journey we’ve just begun.

Where you and I will find no less,

Than eternal love and happiness.

The first time we met, I could see,

The first time we met, I could see,

That you and I, were meant to be.

Your eyes were so gentle, your smile so true,

When you first held my hand, I just knew.

Now the time has gone by, through laughter and tears,

These days I shall cherish, for years upon years.

Those memories we have, shall never fade,

For those are the steps, that we have made.

That was the past, the future is near,

I anxiously wait, for what will appear.

New homes, more laughter, and children so dear,

Everything will be wonderful, as long as you're near.

When you're not here to share my days and nights

When you're not here to share my days and nights

My life is so incomplete

For you are my heart, my soul

The ‘oneness’ I had known to seek

Without you I merely exist from day to day

With you I know that I will find

All that I have been searching for

My completeness, my eternal peace of mind

You are the keeper of my dreams

The man who holds my heart in his hands

The one I want to spend my life with

The one with whom I will always stand

Stand beside through thick and thin

Through all that life will throw our way

Knowing that this special love we share

Will guide us, each and every day

This journey was started long ago

Before this time and place

The journey of completeness

As two hearts and souls embrace

Forever is what I want with you

For the search is at an end

Our hearts have found each other

As lovers, as soul-mates, as friends.

My Vow To You

When you are sad, I will dry your tears

When you are scared, I will comfort your fears

When you need love, my heart I will share

When you are sick, for you I will care

You will feel my love when we are apart

Knowing that nothing will change my heart

When you are worried, I will give you hope

When you are confused, I will help you cope

When you are lost, and can’t see the light

My love will be a beacon, shining ever so bright

This is my vow, one that I pledge till the end

For you above all are my wife and best friend

These words I have written, speak of my love for you

From my lips these words spoken, shall always ring true

God has blessed me, and with your hand in mine

Both of our hearts, will forever intertwine

Into all lives, falls pain and sorrows,

I promise together, we will meet all tomorrows

Happy in marriage, honor and love

blessed in unity by God above

What I Love About You...

The sparkle in your eye,

The warmth of your skin.

Your breath on my neck,

That quivers within.

The touch of your hand,

The smell of your hair.

The kindness in your smile,

That strength in your stare.

Your kiss on my lips,

Your body near mine.

The stroke of your touch,

That feeling inside.

The sound of your voice,

Compassion in your embrace.

The serenity in your stride,

The power in your face.

The calming of your presence,

The beating of your heart.

The promise of tomorrow,

That we may never part.

The beauty of your kiss,

and that magic in your touch.

It is for all these reasons and more,

Why I love you so much.

I Am Your Man

For My Dear Wife,

On This Usual Day;

I Write You This Poem,

In My Own Special Way.

I Wanted To Tell You,

In Words Of My Own;

You're The Most Precious Person,

That I've Ever Known.

You're The Prettiest Girl,

Than Any I've Seen;

Your Body Is Flawless,

So Slender And Lean.

Your Eyes Have That Sparkle,

That I Can't Live Without;

One Day Without Them,

And I'd Die There's No Doubt.

And I Just Lose Control,

When I Glance At Your Hair;

Those Curls Are Just Stunning,

So Perfect And Rare.

You're The Most Caring Person,

That I've Ever Met;

There's No One Like You,

And That I Can Bet.

What Attracts Me The Most,

Is Your Sweet And Kind Touch;

You're A Gift Sent From Heaven,

And I Love You So Much.

So Hold Me As Close,

As You Possibly Can;

'Cause Now And Forever,

I Am Your Man.

you really must know is my love for you is real

Sometimes at night, when I look to the sky,

I start thinking of you and then ask myself, why?

Why do I love you? I think and smile,

because I know the list could run on for miles.

The whisper of your voice, the warmth of your touch,

so many little things that make me love you so much.

The way you support me, and help with my emotions,

the way that you care and show such devotion.

The way that your kiss, fills me with desire,

and how you hold me with the warmth of a blazing fire.

The way your eyes shine when you look at me,

lost with you forever is where I want to be.

The way that I feel when you're by my side,

a sense of completion and overflowing pride.

The dreams that I dream, that all involve you,

the possibilities I see and the things we can do.

How you finish the puzzle that lies inside my heart,

how that deep in my soul, you are the most important part.

I could go on for days, telling of what I feel,

but all you really must know is my love for you is real.

My Sweetheart

So often when I am embracing you,

It seems that you exist in this world

only because of me and I exist because of you.

It's not easy to wander in this world

and not lose one's way,

but the greatest happiness of all

is in giving joy to one's beloved.

And if the king can have his throne,

and if the bird can have his Spring nest,

and God can have his heaven,

then I, my sweetheart, I can have you!
