I fell for you
and I am standing tall
what was old is new
what was big is small
I lost myself
but found even more
I returned to health
after being heart sore
Love can do miracles
you stole my heart
makes innocent the criminal
makes whole from the part
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.

Just how you make me feel
This love I have tasted
has left me wasted
and I cannot find the door to leave
Another round I am buying
I'll keep on trying
to catch my breath and breathe
This love I am chasing
only seems to hasten
the pace at which my heart wants to beat
I will keep moving faster
dam the disaster
I'll go out standing on my own two feet
This love I am needing
will stop the bleeding
my soul it will cause to heal
And when I am able
settled and stable
I will tell you just how you make me feel
has left me wasted
and I cannot find the door to leave
Another round I am buying
I'll keep on trying
to catch my breath and breathe
This love I am chasing
only seems to hasten
the pace at which my heart wants to beat
I will keep moving faster
dam the disaster
I'll go out standing on my own two feet
This love I am needing
will stop the bleeding
my soul it will cause to heal
And when I am able
settled and stable
I will tell you just how you make me feel

My promise the bond
My heart is the room
and you are the view
My soul is the womb
and you are the new
My mind the race
and you are the pace
My eyes the ocean
and you rock'n motion
My life is the song
and you the signer strong
My promise the bond
for now and beyond.
and you are the view
My soul is the womb
and you are the new
My mind the race
and you are the pace
My eyes the ocean
and you rock'n motion
My life is the song
and you the signer strong
My promise the bond
for now and beyond.

I need to know
I need to know tonight
if you'll be mine all night
you make the world all right
when you hold me tight
I need to know for sure
your love'n is the cure
a medicine strong and pure
helping me to endure
Girl you should know
if you'll be mine all night
you make the world all right
when you hold me tight
I need to know for sure
your love'n is the cure
a medicine strong and pure
helping me to endure
Girl you should know
I think I love you
I need to know it's cool
before I take you to school
do you want to break some rules
dive in this swimming pool
Girl you should know
I want you to know
that I'm thinking of you
I need to know it's cool
before I take you to school
do you want to break some rules
dive in this swimming pool
Girl you should know
I think I love you
I want you to know
that I'm thinking of you

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

Our Love
Our love is a love of a lifetime
From this page to a stage
in stories to our bloodline
Our love is a love for the ages
with rhymes across times
written on stone pages
Our love is a fairy tale
with scenes and dreams
off into the sunset we sail
