Over the past few years I have been inspired to write a great deal of poetry. These verses are labors of love, each one straight from my heart. A person whom I love and respect very much has convinced me to share this verse with the rest of the world. So, after a great deal of urging, I have created these webpages just to share my beloved poetry with all of you, my friends. I hope you enjoy these meager offerings, and that you come back often to see what is new. Hugs to all!

Please be gentle
With my feelings
It will take time
Because I have
Been hurt.
Please be gentle
With your words
It will take time
Because I have heard
Too many lies.
Please be gentle
With your eyes
It will take time
Because I have seen
Too much deceit.
Please be gentle
With your body
It will take time
Because I have felt
A cold body too many times.
Please be gentle
With your love
For there is a beauty
In being gentle
That only real love
Could possibly understand.
Suppose I were to say to you
If I whispered in your ear
Well, you and I were meant to be,
THE REASSURANCE POEM
That you're the right to my left shoe;
Or maybe if I was to say,
My curds are nothing sans your whey -
Would that put your heart at ease?
And lay to rest your fears, oh please?.
That you're the atmos in my sphere;
Or were I just to gently chide
Without your slip, I'd have no slide -
Would that all your doubts allay?
And help you find more trust each day?
'Cause I need you as you need me!
We have our ups and downs, for sure,
But love is strong and we'll endure.
So worry naught, oh love of mine -
For I am yours, to the end of time!.
