You always give me sweet feelings

of pure happiness, without a single

flower in sight; just your smiling

presence, that happy thrill of being

with you is all that I desire.

 

Your faith in my achievements keeps

me grounded there's no doubt, for

without your positive support I might

feel a little off track,

 

I'd be consumed in lonely silence:

flying like a misplaced spring

love bird, eager to loom;

spread my wings, fly away for good,

 

tripping on emanating white

feathery clouds, searching for plump;

downy quilts and dreamy pillows,

just right for my mirage of imagined

dreams.

 

You illuminate my darkness, tolerant as

you are: when I pour out my rebellious,

cruel nightmares; you're always there,

listening till my storm recedes.

 

So: Valentine share a glass this day,

draw deep breath; and I will break fourth

from any fears, tracing our journey

of nearly twenty two years;

 

a different kind of love now from when

we first met...spilling, overflowing our

simple pleasures into the future; whatever

it may hold, for together we can always

find our hearts desires.

What a wonderful gesture to your partner Jenny. I hope he's swept away by it!

When I met my partner, we both felt such a connection, and I knew I'd found my soul mate. Twenty two years later we still both feel the same, I just had to let him know in a poem.

Thank you for your kind words.

Jenny. smiley

A beautiful dedication on St Valentine's Day and the last stanza shows an enduring commitment over time and how that changes over the years. Just lovely. Paul

you draw a picture of a steadying and understanding friend. As Paul said, also an acknowledgement of the change and development and endurance of support for each other over time. May you help each other to the best hearts' desires. Rhiannon

when my partner read my poem he was smiling and gave me a hug and a kiss, so for me it was very much appreciated.

I'm glad you liked, and thank you so much for letting me know.
