It’s true that
We go together
Like grilled cheese
And tomato soup
Find comfort together
Like puppies sleeping
Fit together like
Letter and envelope
As different as
Winter and summer
Yet revolve around
Each other like
Sun and moon
Sharing the sky
Shining when the
Other is asleep
Subtle as winks
Grand as laughter
So we kissed
The heavens opened
Revealing a new
Universe just on
The other side
Of now a
Place only accessed
In our minds
As eyes closed
And mouths opened
And fingers explored
As the hands
Of God himself
Pressed us together
And Angel sighs
Escaped our lips
Setting dew upon
The morning flowers
And like a
Breeze through the
Window on a
Sultry August afternoon
In South Carolina
Our conversation chilled
Me whisking aside
The depressing humidity
Making goose flesh
Erupt on naked
Shoulders shivers danced
Down my arms
Landing on my
Palms as I
Cautiously reached out
To your hand
Letting you know
That I was
And will be
Here for you
My dear boy
One of the
Hardest things to
Understand is the
Responsibility to others
That you have
Simply being who
You are yourself
To you you’re
No big deal
Young or old
But oh to
Others you’re an
Example of who
They might wish
To be never
Underestimate the gift
That you are
To the world
The root of
Lover is love
Love that’s expressed
In the eyes
Mirror that’s heard
In the voices
Laughter and felt
In the arms
Embrace love is
The verb while
Lover the noun
But in my
Case you are
Proper spelled Lover
You’re my capital
