Poet Warrior

My spirit soars,
As the love you send my way,
Is unlike any I’ve ever known,
With every breath you take,
I become stronger,
Lovers’ poet warrior,
Battling minds with words,
That you inspire,
Your soul, like your beauty shines,
Reflected not just in these words I write,
But also in the way I chose to live my life,
My actions,
A reflection sincere,
Of the love you brought to my table,
Which I am fortunate to feast upon with you,
My love,
The queen of my soul,
The princess of my heart and mind,
X did not mark the spot,
But blessings made sure I’d find,
You,
And my spirit soars.

China Dolls

China dolls,
Abounding,
I see them with their painted faces,
Their glossy lips,
And their halfhearted smiles,
Hiding behind paint,
But what,
What is lurking underneath the cosmetic mask,
Fear, loathing, self doubt,
Confidence?
I wonder,
Having seen so many this morning,
On the way to work,
Just how fragile the hold is,
On what is real,
Important.

China dolls equal young girls with lots of make up.

Writing... Righting?

Words given to make a poem; Expression, Spirited, Exquisite, triangular, Attitude, Sophisticated, Apprehension, Horizontal, Emotive, X ray, confined, red garbage pail.

Confined to the words of another creation,
I wonder, if later, they might find their way to the proverbial red garbage pail –
Caught in the attitudes of the Bermuda triangle, searching for the appropriate expression which captures the spirited struggle of an exotic mind – Mine? Mine! Mine?
Sophisticated? Or merely a radiation emission worthy of Spiderman himself – Perhaps an X – Ray into my soul – Exquisite, the way these words inspired by the ladies to my left reveal the lateral thoughts of a horizontal boy seeking to be a vertical man. Its odd really, the internal dialogue, the momentary apprehension of this boy – seeking, trying, writing, Righting?

One Look

With one look of your eyes,
One peering glance,
You break through the chain male armor,
Of a soul that longed for you,
Prayed for you,
Dreamed of you,
With every adult fiber of my being,
Considering virtue,
Fostered by an unshakable faith,
An unprecedented belief,
In the power which understood,
Acknowledged and revealed,
The infinite wisdom,
Of love requited unconditional,
On a foundation,
Of daily discovery and affirmation,
Love,
Angelic grace,
Through virtue understated,
By you,
In the revealing reflections,
Of your eyes,
The universe unfolding,
One atom at a time,
Accelerated,
By promise,
And the realization of potential,
On wings only visible,
By those that truly see,
Through something even they cant explain,
You have come,
And with the grace of the tooth fairy,
My pillow,
Every morning,
Has born the just reward,
For the daring,
The curious,
The scared,
Who can believe,
In the sacred power,
Of a divine trust,
Love,
Wisdom in the revelation of this song,
That glorious song,
All lovers hear,
At the smack of the soul,
Manifested by the lips,
Thank you sage,
Best friend, confidant and every day more,
For unleashing,
Virtues eternal curiosity,
Contemplated,
Love.

My Angel

I want you to know,
Just how incredible you are,
How in just the blink of an eye,
You revealed a world bright,
And understanding of the night,
With patience and grace,
Seeing beyond my face,
Value,
Virtue,
And in deed vice,
Yet in your elegance,
Beauty, truth and light,
You’ve helped reveal my path,
Helped me see right,
Your love unconditional,
A spirit so soothing,
These words represent,
My absolute swooning,
I loved you when,
My eyes first glanced,
This woman who,
So greatly enchants,
You are an angel,
A guardian and more,
