Oh tender little fingers please expose how she truly feels,<\/span><\/p>\n

If you will dance a slight tap dance in my palm so it reveals,<\/span><\/p>\n

That she does love me with every ounce she carries inside, <\/span><\/p>\n

Tap out a message of love so I know I haven’t been denied, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let me hear too that cute giggle no one has heard but me, <\/span><\/p>\n

Or the nervous clearing of a throat trying to speak clearly, <\/span><\/p>\n

Please lock eyes with me to see hazel eyes touched with blue, <\/span><\/p>\n

Slowly moving across my face to find markers of loving you, \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I know every nuance of a childlike voice from within a woman, <\/span><\/p>\n

Every cuteness you exhibit is ingrained forever within this man, <\/span><\/p>\n

In times so momentous of this man’s life each one is clearly seen, <\/span><\/p>\n

During moments of torture although weak my love remained keen, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Burning forever inside as each treasured expression played on, <\/span><\/p>\n

Only you can see the lines of my face where teardrops have gone, <\/span><\/p>\n

Where teardrops have gone should be treasured inside our heart, <\/span><\/p>\n

As well bonds of our melding when stretched to nearly come apart,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anytime you drove by I felt elation mixed with sadness to near cry, <\/span><\/p>\n

So filled with fear you’d never accept my words before warriors die, <\/span><\/p>\n

As each fray came to be entered my heart yearned for your expression, <\/span><\/p>\n

If only you could hear me as I spoke of feelings in my love confession, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the gift of a sailor’s hat your heart and mind awoke at last to me,<\/span><\/p>\n

Through the fog of teenage years a woman of sixteen came to be, <\/span><\/p>\n

And with a kiss it was sealed without a word spoken the past was dead, <\/span><\/p>\n

Almost three years of mornings had passed with you first in my head, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where teardrops have gone are treasured memories of loving you, <\/span><\/p>\n

To see you brought elation although your apprehension made me blue, <\/span><\/p>\n

Yet each moment is treasured as through falling sand it came to be, <\/span><\/p>\n

The exact wonderful second when you decided to wait for only me, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I know your heart’s light became brighter as you awaited my return, <\/span><\/p>\n

And I felt it a thousand miles from afar as I felt your love start to burn, <\/span><\/p>\n

From a small flame silently burning to keep love alive from fourteen, <\/span><\/p>\n

The fire of true love ignited as if awoken when you were but sixteen, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was then you realized you’d loved me forever and the fear you felt, \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Remembering the sensation of love at first sight when you’d near melt, <\/span><\/p>\n

The trembling of your fingers as you stood in a closet next to me,<\/span><\/p>\n

I whispered are you cold in hopes you’d say yes to be held closely, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It seemed your voice would freeze each time you came to my store, <\/span><\/p>\n

Almost every week you came by after asking your mother for more, <\/span><\/p>\n

And you stopped by to tell me the words were no and ask what I’d done, <\/span><\/p>\n

The purity of my past tainted by venomous lies from the rejected one, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Three fights placed a reputation of violence as mine although untrue, <\/span><\/p>\n

That I had known many girlfriends were a lie as I had loved only you, <\/span><\/p>\n

Time has passed to find us deeply in love and the battle goes on, <\/span><\/p>\n

And the spoken lies continue from the one wanting me to be gone, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have loved the other more with each quickly passing day, <\/span><\/p>\n

And every cuteness you exhibit are even more on love’s display, <\/span><\/p>\n

Even when making love you have such a cute little “love you” sound, <\/span><\/p>\n

When love rages to burn like an inferno each nuance can be found, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your love is a beacon that calls forever to my heart that I’m found, <\/span><\/p>\n

Somehow you have known my presence without hearing a sound, <\/span><\/p>\n

When in your early teens you’d find me although I had just returned, <\/span><\/p>\n

You captured each moment of longing as my lonely heart yearned, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With your smile and expression I knew why you had found just me, <\/span><\/p>\n

Your love was apparent although unsaid it was clear for me to see, <\/span><\/p>\n

Your mother’s rules were to be honored if I had future plans of you, <\/span><\/p>\n

I realized that I must learn every nuance to help me get through, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where teardrops have gone is a place of elation although sad too, <\/span><\/p>\n

For without those tears this man wouldn’t realize what he had to do, <\/span><\/p>\n

Loneliness of the draft took me far away but somehow closer to you, <\/span><\/p>\n

Each day for nearly fifty years true love has found something new, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The age in my face and the etchings of teardrops past become unseen, <\/span><\/p>\n

Not from trickery or surgeon skill but from your eyes beautiful gleam, <\/span><\/p>\n

The red flecks in your eyes are said particles of this rusted man, <\/span><\/p>\n

Though you remain gold this rusted steel proudly does what he can, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And I pray for more years to love you and enjoy marriage to my wife, <\/span><\/p>\n

How many men celebrate their wedding day each day of his life, <\/span><\/p>\n

I study your actions and characteristics each day in search of new, <\/span><\/p>\n

Along with your tremendous beauty there is so much more of you, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I will stand forever at your side to proudly say I belong to this woman, <\/span><\/p>\n

If needed as a male slave I will tell anyone that I am your pet human, \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The dancing of your tender fingers will tap a dance one last night, <\/span><\/p>\n

Expressing sweet love for me in anticipation of my final flight. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The end. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
