There is a line on your face
which time did not place
whose presence is traced
back to God's very grace
From this line I define
my own piece of mind
spending most of my time
to have it incline
When the ends are high so am I
your face takes on a glow
I'm always sure to ask you why
so I can repeat the show
Its the occasions when
it downward bends
I try to make amends
so it isn't a trend
As the corner of your lips rise
they lift my spirit to the sky
I hope one day you'll realize
your smile is my heart's supply
Everyday Love: The Plan
About 2 weeks after my marriage to Jill, I left her the first of what I now call, "everyday love notes". It read simply, "Sleep on my queen and when you dream, dream me to be your king." 19 and half years, and several hundred notes later, I still find a new reason everyday to fall in love with her and I am still searching for the right words to express it.
So for the next year I am writing an "everyday love note" everyday. Honest expression of a man's love for his wife and how daily that love looks, lives and lasts.
All of these I will post here , and all of these I will write and leave for Jill.
Year in Review
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 boening in love, there are good days, great days and days that I could have put some more work into. And even though every line is true...just like true love, sometimes it is stretch or hope that gets you there.
I hope there has been something the 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.

Making a living is getting in the way of life
I want to make my life with you
but everyday I am pulled away
from 9 to 5 the whole week through
making a living just gets in the way
Can't someone hire me to love you
I'd gladly work the overtime
let my days off simply accrue
up the corporate ladder I'd climb
They would always find me busy
and focused on my task
I'd say stuff like, "in a jiffy"
and "All you have to do is ask"
My only to do is loving you
it is my passion in this life
and when I retire to review
I'll still have you as my wife.

Polish my heart
The current of your love swiftly flows
polishing my heart of stone
craving out canyons it seems to know
where I feel the most alone

where I feel the most alone

You stole my heart
I only have one question
keep your answer brief
I do not want your confession
I already know you're a thief
I caught you in the act
of stealing my heart away
I'm not asking for it back
you save it for a rainy day
You must need it really bad
probably more than me
seeing you with it makes me glad
and that's all I need to breathe
Be careful, because it broke before
it's not as strong as I seems
I'll never loose it again, I swore
until I find the girl from my dreams
So take it with you always
keep near your own
from now until the end of days
you will never be alone.

Your SOng
I will write you a love song
and when it is finished I'll sing it out loud
a tune from out the encroaching throng
a melody to part the hapless crowd
All will fall silent
as a single note rings out
bring peace to the violent
as back up angles shout
I love this women
and I want the world to know
my vows to her rest unbroken
my love as pure as snow
I love being by her side
together forever are we
This is the best ride
an endless road I see
This is my song to you this eve
and every day here on
kiss me now so I can breath
and get on with singin your song.

Pen to paper
Pen to paper
we'll write a letter
in a language all our own
between you and I alone
Pic to string
a song we'll sing
with lyrics and time
that's your and mine
Scene to play
we'll act a way
a dialogue unspoken
a trust never broken
Memories to life
as husband and wife
we'll create a few
just me and you.

Be mine
Be mine and only mine
For now and the rest of time
Be you that perfect you
That makes our love true.
