Here’s to the craziness in our lives
I certainly
hope it stays
It helps maintain our sanity
Fear of
boredom it allays
Youth it keeps in our perspective
As we do
laugh at us
Still we are responsible
To needs
without a fuss
Tomorrow is a great unknown
As today we
bid adieu
But welcome we with childish glee
Each
adventure coming new
Act our age we cannot do
We’re having
too much fun
Enjoying firsts of every kind
Too bizarre
to try are none
As long as we have faith in each
Other to be
true
To principles we have set to live
No
experience will we rue
The fun is not in what we do
So much as that we share
The essence shown of who we are
Hides
nothing souls are bare
The result of all this craziness
Is laughter
loud and clear
And love between two kindred souls
Unafraid
their joy to wear
I have read,
The story of
One’s life is written
In their head
A story no one
Ever knows
From inside out
It never goes
But serves to keep
Contact asleep
And owner lonely deep
But if perchance
Some words might dance
Into another’s mind
Perhaps they’ll find
A kindred soul
Who’ll join to make them whole
The willingness to share
A story that might scare
To shine a light
That gives insight
And leaves no place to hide at night
Can bring a joy
Two souls alloy
Make life bright
Give love its flight
And make one feel that all is right
To the extent
That story’s lent
To give another
Access to cover
Determines how
We each endow
Ourselves, another’s love somehow
The giving of
Ourselves to love
Sharing secrets buried long
To another might seem wrong
But in the giving trust will bloom
Results of which you can’t assume
Joy before you then will loom
To take unto
Yourself the best
Involves for you this simple test
To let another see the real
You inside and come to feel
Your worth is great by their own measure
And find for them, you are a treasure
Birds are singing, Sun is shining
Grass is
emerald green
Palms are swaying, flowers blooming
Few people
to be seen
Sunday morning gentle, quiet
A time to
contemplate
Families mostly spending time
Each other
to relate
These are times I crave a hug
Desire my
love’s embrace
Close my eyes feel her kiss
Or breath
upon my face
I am upon the outside of
A world I’d
be within
Stand alone in isolation
As around
this globe does spin
Luckier than most I am
To know a
love so great
Life does balance all our gifts
Faith I’ll
not forsake
In what I have and where I’m going
I’ve no
reason to complain
Give thanks I will for what I’ve got
Even
flowers need the rain
Fingers trace a shoulder’s shape
Lips taste an
ear
Loving words exchanges make
Laughter
brings a tear
Walks together lift them higher
Experience
each the other
Boundless wonders of the world
Fascinate,
discover
Hands are held because they’re close
Shoulders
touch, …event
Strides coordinate by choice
Together, …joy is lent
Words caress each other’s souls
If bodies
cannot meet
Memories do what words cannot
Passion
keeps its heat
Favors done for one another
Courtesy
for sure
Vocabulary used is loves
Purpose
clear and pure
That contact always carry in it
Love’s
essence there
Making love is how they live
Defining
moments rare
Not a sometimes needful thing
But every
breath they take
Communicate in every way
Endless
bonds they make
Passions rise and passions fall
Sometimes
sexually
Woven in with all they do
Like
nature, form is free
Ebb and flow is natures way
Mix,
immerse, invent
All designed to integrate
In life
love’s passion spent
Subtle is what love’s about
Permeates
the soul
Exists in every element
Of life it
is the whole
Love is one long conversation
Form and
cadence vary
Choices made matter not
If love
their meanings carry
Love is freedom
Simple and
clear
Confidence bold
A lack of
fear
Love is dreams
Of two not
one
A future expected
As bright
the sun.
In the arms of my love
The world
is far away
Enveloped by her presence
There only is today
Yesterday, a filmy dream
Tomorrow
waits its turn
I am as if suspended
Time stops
as my heart burns
Fear is non existent as
Her love enfolds my soul
She is within as she surrounds
Draw her
in, my only goal
With every breath her love does fill
My sense
intoxicate
Light my head, full my heart
For more I
cannot wait
With urgency I try to merge
My heart
and soul with hers
Transcend the flesh that borders us
Be
something never was
I am become more than me
As she and
I are we
Respond the same if we are called
As one
named me, or thee
Time, space, connection sought
What is real?
what is thought?
Do you exist? Are you a dream?
I did touch
you, it would seem
The pain I feel without you near
Is real
enough, I know that clear
If you’re made up, in my head
Then
clearly all my senses fled
Dream I must myself unreal
So in your
mind I can steal
Together we will find a way
Dissolve
the space so we can play
Then we can dream ourselves quite real
Know the
joy to actually feel
Matter not if we exist
Reality is,
thought in gist
The scent of you is in my mind
As real as
if you’re here
My face I bury deep your chest
In dream I
hold you near
Never far from me are you
As time
does pass along
The visions and the feelings stay
Embedded
bright and strong
The surface of my skin does yearn
To be as
one with yours
To feel your warmth so close to me
To feel my
passion course
To know your love is mine as well
As we each
the other lead
To places never seen by one
In fusion
two succeed
To find a higher plain and know
A glory born brand new
Scale the heights of ecstasy
Hold hands,
enjoy the view
You are the source of my delight
You lift me
to the clouds
The taste of you pervades my thoughts
From my
mind all else it crowds
We’ll be together soon in flesh
Though minds
do touch right now
Love is such a wondrous thing
Breathes
life, I know not how
Lying on my bed
All alone in the night
Searching thorough my memory
For
feelings and the sight
Of smiles that played on your sweet face
As I learned
to know you right
I cannot pierce the feeling of
Alone though try I might
I replay each move and thought
Collected
from before
Try to lose myself in them
Past
passion to explore
But memory’s not warm enough
Though
times I get a rush
There is no substitute for you
Mental
image lacks too much
No matter how close I get
To feeling
you are here
You vanish in an instant as
I reach to
pull you near
As long as you are kept within
The
boundaries of my mind
I can keep you close enough
Some comfort
I can find
But if I try to bridge the gap
Embrace my
minds design
The worlds of real and not, collide
Leave
emptiness behind
Suffice it must for me to know
We’ll be
together soon
Though I keep trying for your touch
While not
your image ruin
There is a line that I can’t cross
I haven’t
learned the way
But every day our love grows stronger
Perhaps I
will someday
Azure sky cobalt sea
Golden
white the sands
Surrounded by this tranquil scene
Introspection
it commands
The past dissolves into a mist
As history
shrinks to nil
A thousand thoughts do race around
From my
mind they want to spill
Where have I been? where do I go?
What will
become of me?
I’m eager to begin anew
A life I
cannot see
Children grown have spread their wings
From the
nest they have flown
Into a life of their own making
To reap
what they have sown
The surf does crash, it speaks to me
Time has no
meaning here
I feel I am eternal but
The
meaning’s not yet clear
High upon this cliff I sit
Absorb the
warming sun
Observe my life from somewhere else
Where the
sands of time don’t run
Life’s been good there is no doubt
Of that I
can attest
My children are a source of pride
The best of
me invest
I am the product of my loves
And those who
have loved me
The lord has smiled upon my soul
Having
brought the best, I see
Something deep within me stirs
I know not
what it is
But all that I have been before
Is prelude,
‘cept for Liz
Two souls have joined to form one new
A
magnificent creation
A blackboard clean on which we’ll write
Our story
of elation
The wind is blowing in my hair
As I gaze
upon the sea
Mist enshrouded boats glide past
In silent
dignity
A squirrel digs for food about
A yard or
two from me
We coexist in harmony
As nature
meant to be
The beauty of the world we see
Is from the
inside out
If love I hold within my heart
I’ll never be without
So come on life bring on the next
Whatever it
will be
I glory in the newness
I’m reborn
and I am free
As good as life has been ‘till now
The future
will fulfill
All the dreams I’ve yet to dream
‘Till my
heart is wont to spill
I have no trepidation as
I’m standing here on high
Looking down as birds are making
Circles in the sky
I feel I see forever though
My eyes do not perceive
More than any other mortal
Yet my
heart knows more than sees
If life should cease tomorrow
I have
lived more than my years
While standing on this breezy cliff
Shedding
all my fears
I am anxious to begin this new
Period of
my life
Coupled hand in hand with love
That rids
my soul of strife
Tomorrow is another day
It surely
will be fine
The things I need for life I’ve learned
Are already
mine.
Love exists not in a vacuum
We must
will it come to be
If we think that it is here
It surely
is, for we
But even if for just one instant
Faith is
interrupted
Doubt will eat away the fabric
Pureness be
corrupted
Love is like the house we live in
Keeps us
warm, secure
But we must work to keep it sturdy
Not let
problems to mature
Keep the weeds of our neglect
From
choking out the light
Be prepared this place defend
With every
ounce of might
Fill the gardens of our hearts
With the
flowers of our care
Make the shelter of our love
A place
restorative, rare
Open every shutter, let
Fresh air
flow right in
Glory in the sharing, by
Not hiding
we both win
Give to each, all we are
Building
day by day
Soon enough invincible
We two
become this way
Weather every storm with knowing
The house
we built will stand
The bricks, unfailing love of past
The mortar,
faith’s command
The sun will shine tomorrow
Should
darkness come today
For us this is a given
Daily care
makes our love stay
The rooms are empty, not a soul is here
Only I to
fill the space
Silence hangs expectantly
My other
thoughts erase
The silence isn’t quiet as
Noises all around
Never noticed, now intrude
Somehow
alive in sound
Refrigerator motor whirs
Ice cubes
dropping down
Heat comes on, hot air blows
I hear from
all around
Somewhere a door is closing tight
A
motorcycle blares
An auto passes in the night
Footsteps
on the stairs
Suddenly I am aware
The silence
is demanding
My mind is stretching far and wide
My
consciousness expanding
Frantically I search for sounds
I know what
I must do
If not found my thoughts will turn
Inward
wanting you
I am adrift, out in space
The noises
are receding
Pictures of you everywhere
The past, my
eyes are reading
Movies of what we have done
Blend and
merge and twist
Memories of your touch and feel
And places
I have kissed
You’re almost real if I try hard
Then
reality sets in
Reaching for your fingers, I’m
Left wanting and chagrined
Silence is my friend at first
Distracts
me from my thought
Then aching soundless cry it is
In my
longings I am caught
Your voice is clear you seem to be
Whispering
in my ear
It’s just the technology that
Makes you
seem so near
The closer that you seem to be
The worse
it is for me
I close my eyes and I can see
But feel is
not to be
I’m grateful for your voice of course
But oh how
I do ache
To hold you in my arms again
To see you
when I wake
The time to meet is coming soon
A little
over a week
Every day eternity
Your touch
I urgently seek
But when we meet the void will fill
In an
instant when we touch
And I will not be able to
Recall the
ache as such
I’ll clutch you tight and drink you in
Intoxicate
my brain
The joy of reconnecting will
Erase all
trace of pain
Quite devoid of any plan
The day begins as our eyes scan
Each other in the morning light
Bringing both of us delight
Smiles and tenderness abound
In the dawn without a sound
Gentle kisses are the way
We start the music of the day
Notes created as we flow
Together in a motion slow
All the rest is loving dance
To the rhythm of romance
All the day we ebb and flow
What we do, where we go
All is fodder for our game
Mind and soul we entertain
A symphony we have become
Improvised, each moments sum
Two musicians jamming free
Write eternal memory
On and on we are to play
Ready for the futures way
Along a path we’ve yet to know
Eager to together go
Seems forever I’ve been gone
Though just a month I’ve stayed
Missing warmth I used to hold
And the wondrous ways we played
The world is somehow less than real
When you’re not here to share
The colors slightly less than bright
The weather less than fair
Your presence calms the storms of life
You save me with your smile
All my darkness quickly passes
You’re my armor all the while
Though time may drag when you’re not here
And we’re suspended then
It stops completely, when you’re near
Past and future blend
Like a clearing in the fog
That moves about at will
We drift without time passing
Each drinking in our fill
We each are times reality
The others clock, defeat
We only age when were apart
Youth returning when we meet
Keep my mind going all the time
So up the
walls I don’t climb
My love and I are far apart
It hurts me
deeply in my heart
My attention occupied
The best
solution I have tried
Don’t leave a space for thought creep in
Or
loneliness will surely win
So writing poetry is what I do
Endlessly,
not just a few
It serves a double purpose here
Honing
skill, keeps my love near
And if perchance you are alone
Waiting for
your love to phone
I know exactly how you feel
Grateful
for the time you steal
Every instant forever is
Shared
memory, remembered bliss
If you’re love is far from sight
Come with
me, we’ll share the plight
Of love displaced, cut in two
Agony if
love be true
I’ll conjure up the words we need
To keep
alive the precious seed
To carry us to that new day
When each,
with lover, always stay
If I should want to climb a tree
Or perhaps
a mountain top
Who would I choose to take with me?
Whose
company would I opt?
Whose presence helps to magnify
Each new
experience?
Who would help to raise me up?
With valued
common sense?
Who shares with me all my fears
And all my
goals extreme
The silly things I’d like to do
The stuff
that fills my dreams?
Who gives to me a place to hide
When life
is testing hard?
Rejuvenates and sends me out
With new
and strengthened guard?
Who stands beside me in the fray
Shoulder
touching mine?
Enjoys the camaraderie
Grown on
the firing line?
Who would I trust with all I own
With life
and limb and soul
To play with on the path of life
To see what
will unfold?
My friend, my love, my partner,
The one
that gives me joy
The one that is my buddy
Alter ego
to this boy
That lives within at any age
No matter
what I do
Though many are my total years
My buddy
makes them few
Together we are children being
Open to the
new
In laughter and in love we go
With a
friendship tested true.
When I lay me down to sleep
At the
closing of my day
My fondest wish is that my dreams
Will be of
us at play
That sun will shine throughout my night
Illuminate,
remind
Awaken all the feelings, stored
Away, that
I can find
That you will keep me company
As long as
dark does last
So I can face tomorrow, when
I wake up from the past
Over mountains through the clouds
Across the
many miles
There is a cord connecting us
It is what
brings the smiles
Invisibly, it climbs and turns
stretches twists and finds
Each of us at work or play
It is the
tie that binds
Sometimes it is the telephone
Sometimes
it is the fax
Sometimes it is a funny card
Filled with
blue wisecracks
Sometimes it is a message left
With humor
and with grace
Sometimes it is a thought of need
That
travels fast through space
Sometimes it is a dream so real
Our hearts
increase in beat
Sometimes it is our passion rising
Giving us
more heat
But always it’s the knowledge that
Whatever
path we take
No separation could convince
Each the
other to forsake
Elizabeth Lee Isaacson
It has a pleasant
sound
I guess it means for quite a while
You’re
going to be around
At least you have a piece of paper
To prove
that we have wed
I’m sure it doesn’t help you sleep
When I’m
not there in bed
And all those people, don’t believe
A husband
you have taken
Are joined by you, despite the note
When alone,
you do awaken
There are no clothes of mine to see
No razor,
brush or comb
Not the least signal that
I’m ever
coming home
No meals to make, no shirt to wear
The scent
of me not there
Perhaps it’s really all a dream
That
vanished in thin air
But then again you have the papers
Poem after
poem
And clothes I bought that you do wear
No matter
where you roam
And feelings rising in your breast
Too real to
be made up
Pictures showing you and me,
Remembered
hands that cup
And always as the time does pass
We shortly
are together
But heavy is the heart of us
As the
spaces we do weather
So every night I write some words
Your
morning to make bright
Helps us each to see the other
Without the
help of sight
