</span></span>I have learned a lot over the past year while trying to write each of these poems on a daily basis. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be but neither is love. There are good poems, great poems and poems that still need work...just like being in love, there are good days, great days and days that I could have put some more work into. Even though every line is true...just like true love, sometimes it is a stretch or hope that gets you there.<br />
<br />
I hope there has been something that eveyone can relate to and draw from...I don't think my experience is too far removed when you really think about why you love the one you do. Thanks for reading and loving. Most of all, thanks to Jill, for being the women who inspired this project and daily gives me reasons to love her. I love you.<br />

even though these rhymes may ceased<br />
stronger than it's ever been<br />
loving feelings over time increased<br />
<br />
In all my attempts to catch it<br />
I fall short of the mark<br />
nothing I can say will match it<br />
Love is a fire, words are a spark<br />
<br />
It now falls on me to live a life<br />
that poets will try to capture<br />
may I being deserving of a wife<br />
who fills me with love and rapture.dan knudsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08375949045187009127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2579497393932780474.post-33742995232796899462011-07-15T23:03:00.000-04:002011-07-15T23:03:43.811-04:00Never again so distantMy heart beats slows down<br />
the further away I am from you<br />
My body cold and numb<br />
blood thickens like glue<br />
<br />
But as time and space collapse<br />
and bring us near once more<br />
my heart begins again to race<br />
allowing my spirit to soar<br />
<br />
Sew my heart to yours<br />
with twine so strong<br />

before I close my eyes to sleep<br />
hoping my dreams will cast<br />
memories my mind can keep<br />

I try to think of you before I wake<br />
before the world I face<br />
for I know that one thing it cannot take<br />
thoughts of you are never erased<br />

as this day closes swiftly<br />
One more time in one more way<br />
maybe then you'll believe me<br />

You are something exceptional<br />
a different type, spectacular<br />
you exceed the potential<br />
of all human vernacular<br />
<br />
Breadth and depth are small measures<br />
of all you are to me<br />
the world and all its treasures<br />
are but a tenth of thee<br />
<br />
You enhance the life we live<br />
by simply being you<br />

the pace at which my heart wants to beat<br />

I will keep moving faster<br />
dam the disaster<br />
I'll go out standing on my own two feet<br />

This love I am needing<br />
will stop the bleeding<br />

And when I am able<br />
settled and stable<br />

how much it is I love you<br />
If only I had the words to say<br />
I would tell you how I feel each day<br />
<br />
When I wake and find you there<br />
my heart begins a faster beat<br />
sleep leaves my eyes as I stare<div>and take you in from head to feet<br />
<br />
While away I cannot think<br />
of anything but your face<br />
the longer away the deeper the sink<br />
thought of you I won't erase<br />
<br />
When evening comes we settle in<br />
and put the kids to sleep<br />
this is our time for a little sin<br />
secret's and promises to keep<br />
<br />
I wouldn't want another life<br />
I couldn't be more happy<br />
I know I have the perfect wife<br />
and I know she thinks the same of me<br />

this all seems too small<br />

The the scale is weighed<br />

and I stand afraid<br />
but stand a fighter<br />
<br />
I'll place my best upon the scale<br />
against offers of silver and gold<br />
in the end my love will prevail<br />
and have stories about it told<br />

You deserve the best I am<br />
and require of me still more<br />

and watch how high I soar.dan knudsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08375949045187009127noreply@blogger.com0
