As I lay in thought of you the wings of a butterfly were heard, <\/span><\/p>\n

In deep thought I felt I must put my feelings in descriptive word, \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With closed eyes I can see the sounds translated by my mind, <\/span><\/p>\n

Where beautiful creatures fly I know you cannot be far behind, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I sank deeper into thought as I searched for words of perfection, <\/span><\/p>\n

Too I wondered what it must be like to view near perfect reflection, <\/span><\/p>\n

My consciousness views every angle in the mechanics of my mind, <\/span><\/p>\n

As you walk towards me I can see a countering sway of your behind, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tell me what it is I can’t see and perhaps I can see it through you, <\/span><\/p>\n

Life is a gift and privilege no matter what I may have been through, <\/span><\/p>\n

Often you have pulled me from eternity’s never ending beginning, <\/span><\/p>\n

No matter my loss your touch tells me that a I am actually winning, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Too many qualify miracles by time spent together as reason why, <\/span><\/p>\n

Thinking love grows with time even if wrongly married is but a lie,<\/span><\/p>\n

No one knows of a never ending honeymoon we long ago began, <\/span><\/p>\n

It started before that November night as from the church we ran,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where light ends so ends our love thus we love forever in every life, <\/span><\/p>\n

A ceremony of love is celebrated as night’s light blankets my wife, <\/span><\/p>\n

My shine tarnished long ago yet she finds luster beneath my dust, <\/span><\/p>\n

She is of gold, what shine I have is but a reflection of her on my rust, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Perhaps it’s true the angel of destiny slumbered as I entered the room,<\/span><\/p>\n

Is that why I captured an angel’s heart ‘fore the angel came into bloom, <\/span><\/p>\n

A tidal wave of emotion fills me from her touch or to breathe in her air, <\/span><\/p>\n

Each love wave is filled with her essence penetrating my flesh and hair, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Diamonds and gold often share space with tarnished and worn jewelry,<\/span><\/p>\n

If jewels and bracelets were without tarnish I would have no reason to be, <\/span><\/p>\n

Yet that dull tarnished keepsake has value of heart for reasons unknown, <\/span><\/p>\n

And she treasures my tarnish unconditionally her love for me has shown, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She is of gold and one day I too shall shine once again to be at my best, <\/span><\/p>\n

November eight forty six years ago I peaked, of this fact I proudly attest, <\/span><\/p>\n

Tonight’s air mixed with essence of her says the best has yet to come,<\/span><\/p>\n

Truth be told only her touch can deliver me whole, then I’m again young.<\/span><\/p>\n

The end, <\/span><\/p>\n
