Time After Time

(for S. James)
eyes the color of wood smoke
laughing softly
chasing the icy fingers
of the dead of winter
from out my heart
while your warm even breath
sends silky shivers along my skin...
I sigh with the realization
that our years together
have been an odyssey spent in
the living knowledge
of each others inner beings
and I would stop time
in it's journey...
to preserve this one moment
through an eternity of night!

This is beautifully said, capturing the intimacy of a relationship over many years of knowing another, a soul mate. I love this eloquent poem. Well versed.

he is a very special man, I've been married three times in my life time. been married to Steven 42 years, now. and I am deeper in love with him than the day I first fell... he takes really good care of me. and I try to do the same of him. the least I can do is write him poetry...
