Where Home is Found

A poem for Valentine's 2023, for my husband of 31+ years.

You bring forth soul song 

inspire poetry from my soul

Our love speaks heart to heart

in tender, whispered kisses

These old bones revel in each other

We revel our love’s embrace

All my true joys found in your ebony eyes

devotion unparalleled down the years

Together, we bask in comfortable silences

As sun sets just outside my own backdoor

every never mundane backyard sunset 

is a magical revery where home is found

What a man!
A man who can inspire this kind of song and dance deserves to be celebrated.

Aw, what a beautiful Valentine poem. 31 years wed. A picture of tender and romantic togetherness. We have just celebrated our 40th. I hope you celebrated in style.

Thanks so much. We got take out and spent the evening at home. And, congratulations on your milestone anniversary.

We're still being circumspect about covid precautions, given my fragile health. There are still concerning signs around, plus flu and RSV numbers have been pretty high around here.

You take good care of yourself. It was good to read you again.🌺

Thanks! I'm pivoting back to poetry, at least for now.
