In a hurry, then skip to the bold words at the end, the true heart of the poem, if not, then by all means, read all. . . it took me all these other thoughts to get there.
Happy 33rd Anniversary, Leon
Happy 33rd Anniversary, Leon
Love: All of This and More
On a bad day
I crawl into the security
of his pocket
On a great day
I babble into endless ears
that listen
On a sad day
I cry into the shoulder
of empathy
On a laughter day
I alternate playing
clown and primma dona
against his straight man
On a fearful day
I tremble into his
strong arms of protection
On a giving day
I give away what once
was in his pockets
On a selfish day
I demand all and more
as he fulfills those he can
On a self-doubt day
I see my true self
reflected in his eyes
and I rise to be the
reflection I see.

Oh, Damn! You made me cry again. I hope your anniversary is delicious. You are such a fine poet, Lady, and Leon must be a treasure.
This Eclectic Life - You're just a softy! It will be delicious, but not the way you mean, he picked up enough Chinese curry from our favorite restaurant for leftovers tonight - so we can work on Script Frenzy tonight! Today is the first day. I am waiting on him (impatiently) to get home from work before I type the first day. Symbolic, I suppose. PS.Thanks for the tears. . grin.
Ok, now I'll forgive you for liking Pepsi! 33 years? Hooray! Good for you!!!!! (But my parent's marriage busted up after 45, so I'm now always a bit skepical...)
I'll stop by again. What made you move from St. Pete?
PrincessAhah - And I forgive you for liking Coke! It was the heat and humidity that finally chased us away.
Thank you for the Hooray! and for taking the time to comment.
