Did I tell you?

A wise person is thankful for what he has.

Did I tell you?

I don't remember if I told you how beautiful you are.

I have allowed so many things to blind my eyes.

Allowing disappointment to steal my smile and laughter.

I know.

If you left me.

I would become lost again.

I have twisted up my life in useless dreams.

Victories seem so far away.

Now I know.

You are my  only sweet dream.

That  I  have  gathered in my time of living.

I want to tell you.

I love you more than my own life.

Without you.

I would have no purpose.

Your love for me is a blessing.

A gift to a man so thankful for you.

Thankful for a kind lady  that touched his life.

I love you.

Your words are beautiful truth Coyote. This poem is a jewel to put in the crown of your love. It matches her beauty, as the photo shows. Eloquent, lyrical, tender...a song to the person whose love must never be taken for granted...in good times and bad...”Did I tell you?” In this poem, you did. Superb!

Me thinks the same things could be said about the ones who did end up leaving us. This poem resonated well within me not because I currently have someone special, but because there was this special someone who made such a great impact in my life that I'm very thankful for just being a wonderful and unforgettable part of my short life. Wonderfully write. Very poignant. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for writing. I look forward to more magnificent piece like this one.

Coyote,

Glad to be back with you. This is less like a poem and more like a love letter; however, I don't care. It's beautiful!

[Abhishek Ramkissoon]

a wise person is indeed thankful for what he has. i can see myself, identify myself with this poem, to a certain extent. anything sweeter than this and the person for whom you wrote this might just die. its very sweet. can feel the passion. very beautiful.
