You lifted me up
when I felt down
brought hope and joy
as I turned around
You told me plans
to take care of me
I felt secure
wrapped tightly in your arms
I returned the embrace
trusted your vision
as our words built a world
of our future divined
For first sight burst
forth an awakened love
glimmered a reality
of our deeply hidden dreams

You knew just how much
I would miss you here
How hard it would be
To feel this empty space
You couldn’t hold me
Not anymore, even from afar
Our last night bridged by screens
Closing the distance of longing eyes
Alone after you left me cold
I no longer feel you close
All through the night
Never letting go, pulling me tight
You always turned me to you
Never taking my back but heart
So you left this shirt
An offering off your back
You knew it good on you
So you gave tangible memory
Tucked in my closet, worn to bed
You knew our love, never dead

For what else can I do
But proclaim what I know
A simple light in this rain
Falling from my eyes
My shoulders are heavy
I can’t use my cheeks
To pull up a smile
Not even to hide anymore
Yet in your voice I find
A comfort where I rest
A small smile returns
I am not alone
In this solace, delivered
I confess my love
For yours unconditional
Where time has no limit
You stay by my side
Even when I resist
Waiting for my confession
Your mutual affection exceeds
Now I share my discovery
Rooted in softest desire
Where I join your profession
Simply stated once, it’s complete

I knew it was real
Evidenced in that moment
Frozen after we met
The mere first sight of me
Created your smile, venturing
Through your vision of two
Even still my eyes see
Light as they gaze back
Upon the day you changed
Those lips turned up
Toward a new road unfolding
Paving our whirlwind love

Yesterday, I looked happy again
I caught a moment
Looking right at the lens
Hoping your eyes may see
Sun glistened on my hair
A bright glow on my face
My honey lips upturned with joy
Pushing my apple cheeks skyward
Those rays inside burst forth
Straight through clouds of gray
That hovered in the wake of despair
But that beating warmth never dims
Love burns endlessly
Even if a soft flame consealed
Oil need not replenish the flame
What two souls do not extinguish

You know it won’t go
That ache in your chest
Beating since you’ve gone
It’s me for the rest
Even when you leave
The hole doesn’t fill
Not a soul compares
To mine steadfast still
My heart knows it
Yours keeps how I do
As love held so deep
It’s infinitely true

I wake from a dream,
A place where you’re with me,
With an empty seat now beside
I must wait to see
If our waking hours
Open our eyes to
Our story forever realizing
All our life will be
Though it may come
At a greater upfront fee
The choices honors the miraculous
I confessed missing you
As big as the sky
When you first asked nervously
Riding that discovered high
Now we coast the clouds
In vessels we don’t fly
Can you feel it too
That ache too thorough to deny
The hesitancy a sting that relieves
In love we can still purify
When you come back home

You wake up at night
Knowing in the stillness
You can’t let me go
So you pull me tight
You wrap me up
Laying in constant warmth
Together in your arms
Safe before the buildup
I awaken too
When you kiss me softly
Letting the memory linger
A touch kept after you do
I rise with the sun
Welcomed back to our dream
This life we share together
In a home we live as one
You open your eyes to me
You smile at the sight
And I’m ready for the day
Knowing I’ll come back to see
We live a dream
Better than the sleeping

I dedicate this year’s themed Valentine poem to all my friends at Home Depot.
You’ve got the tape measure
To size us up
With the figures sure
Our heart fits in our chest
So we draw the marks
In all the spots
As a nail parks
Our structure holds together
You hold the drill
The power’s in your hands
To keep our hearts alive still
Our beat’s as sound as level
We get all the parts laid
And dwell inside
where our love is made
Our house builds around us
It’s 2xUs forever long
Hands joined in strong embrace
In a power hold
Our heart is our home

I’ve got the promise of a city new
Made my move in bolder light
All that’s left is you
To keep us in one sight
I know you as one of few
so tell me this is right
when I don’t hear you
again for another night
I don’t know what to do
Not all times are bright
It’s all because of you
It feels I’m losing a fight
My heart runs askew
When I’m in your mind, out of sight
All it wants is you
To shine forth all your might
Because together, always new
We dance in the light
Where the guide is you
Always in my sight
