3 am BLUES

 

Bedside sleight of hand

Barking pain

Boredom creeping in

Hospital life

Not for this roaming wordsmith

Artistic prose from Jewel

Mel’s soothing touch

New secrets

She only shares with me

Awkwardness fades

Her love makes me smile

Brilliant

Shy

Her lip quivers slightly

As I gently kiss her hand

So natural

A deep relaxing breath

We thrive in harmony

When undisturbed by worldly hindrance

Tender balance

Delicate waltz

Blissful cocoon

A study in pain

Leads to complete surrender

Pent up emotions

Seven years nigh

Now bursting at the seams

Sweet synthesis

Requires only faith

My road

Long and weary

Perfect days pass

Difficult slumber

Harder every night to sleep without her

Our storied past

Defies explanation

I would do it all again

Anything for her happiness

To hold her close to me

No doubts

No regrets

My deepest love for her

Consumes me

Predestined path

Includes her hand in mine

As it was meant to be

Truest gift from God

Adoration

Consummate symmetry

Blessed daily alms

I feel her pull away at times

As she sorts through her thoughts

Understand her soul completely

Intimate union

I know she believes

No harm can come from His will

Holy gift of each other

To live as one some day

Delicious thoughts of forever

She

This flowing song in my heart

Always
