The days and years | |
Tell me | |
Of color greying | |
Of skin weathering, | |
But in my mind’s eye | |
You are held | |
Fixed | |
Cherished… | |
Your smile each morning | |
Is like the sunrise | |
Cresting mountains | |
Across a fog misted | |
Blue-grey valley, | |
Breath-taking. | |
Your gentle touch | |
Still makes my heart pound | |
Like ocean waves | |
Crashing and cascading | |
Across a rocky shoreline | |
Within my chest | |
Your kindness | |
Caresses me | |
Like a gentle breeze | |
On a warm summer’s evening | |
Your love | |
Envelopes me | |
Like a warm blanket | |
On a cold winter’s night | |
How do I love thee? | |
Across the days and years | |
From breath-taking dawn | |
Through mid-day’s lust, | |
Evening’s gentle breeze | |
To Winter’s warm embrace. | |
I love you across | |
Our lives together | |
And, | |
God willing, | |
Beyond | |
[My response to Elizabeth Barrett Browning (Sonnet 43) — kmab] | |

On This Day In: | |
2021 | Closer To Understanding |
On My Knees | |
2020 | Profit From Ongoing Disintegration |
I’m A Dreamer | |
2019 | Even When We Have A Criminal / Dangerous / Incompetent President |
2018 | But It Keeps Trying |
Blue Wave, But Not Blue Tsunami | |
2017 | The Promise At Risk |
2016 | Or As Will Come In Time |
2015 | It Is Another Beautiful Day At The Red Pony Bar And Continual Soiree… |
2014 | Days And Years |
2013 | Currency And Transport |
2012 | Something Which Did Not Exist Before |
2011 | True Magic |
