However often I have lost my way
However many times I’ve given up
However much I’ve wished for a new life
It matters not, now that I’ve so much more.

Retracted prayer
Whatever prayers I’ve sent up to the skies
Whatever jealous musings I have pined
Away with them; treat them as pithy lies
I never knew what I, so blessed, would find:
Her.
Ode to furry friends
All praise to furry friends!
(The real ones, not “furries”)
They purr and my heart mends
They bark and I’m at ease
Sometimes they poo inside
Or growl when they should not
But I just let it slide
Because they’ve my heart got
These friends say ‘bye too young
They leave before their time
I think their song’s not sung
They still have lines to rhyme
But we’ll see them once more
At least that’s what I pray
That they’ll be at the door
When I, too, reach my day.
Blind
Sometimes I feel lost
I can’t tell left from right
I don’t know where to go
I feel lost, alone, in the dark
I can’t move
I can’t breathe
Can’t speak
Can’t cry
Can’t fight
See
Smell
Touch
I’m blind
But then there is you
And there I am safe
Forever with you
Two words
A moment
A kiss
Now here
With you
So free
So clear
So loved
We two
Yours
I never knew I wanted
What I now ever have
I thought I knew the story
And how it all would go
So glad am I my life has turned
So far from my planned path
I can’t imagine different now
It’s like it’s writ in stone
And for the love who changed it all for me
I have a promise that I give to thee:
I never shall look back to then
And what I’d wished to have
For greater pow’r has brought me you
To have, and love, and hold
So I shall ever hold you
Enveloped in my arms
And you will always know, love
I’m yours, I’m yours, I’m yours.
Sonnet 4
What if I were to steal you for a day?
I’d bring you off adventuring with me
We’d find some treasure; frightened, I would say,
‘What dark magicks await explorers we?’
What if we went advent’ring for a day?
You’d lead me down some gods-forsaken route
Finding some creature, I would, timid, say,
‘We ought turn back; I fear danger’s afoot!’
What if we went off-road one fateful day?
And finding some contraption, I began
To stammer uncontrollably, and say,
‘What devilry is this, I am but man!’
And you would turn and say to me, plainly:
‘You’re safe, my love, don’t fret; you are with me.’
Write you
I will write you
A song
As long
As your heartbeat
From its first to its last
I will write you
A verse
One for every moment
Every time I’ve looked into
Your eyes
Said
“I love you”
I will write you
An epic
A tale of strife and woe
A tale of love and faith
Something that rings true
Something that reminds me
Of you
Our adventures and
Our hurts and
Our love
I will write you
A note
And stick it on your desk
And you’ll find it
And you’ll know it
I will write you
Into my heart
In every moment
You’ll be
In my soul
Knowing
Since long before I met you, I have loved you;
Since first we locked our eyes, so have I known you;
No more can I recall not knowing of you
Than how it felt without you, me alone.
We
Why did we meet, lost, hurt, unknown?
Perhaps ’twas Fate, that e’er sly trickster;
Oft she plays, plots plans betwixt
Her list’ning ears; her eyes are fixed
On unsuspecting mortals, ‘lone.
Why did we meet, lost, hurt, unknown?
Maybe ’twas He who made the earth;
Seems likely He would find some mirth
In leading us from very birth
To find each other once we’d grown.
Why did we meet, lost, hurt, unknown?
Mayhaps ’twas naught, no fleeting thought
No meaning, tale, nor story wrought
A chance encounter, one unsought;
And to your arms I’ve blindly flown.
I know not why we met that night;
But glad am I for ev’ry day
And ev’ry hour and ev’ry ray
Of Sun that shines as if to say:
“O, lovers, ask not why today
No longer ye are off, away
One from the other; now allay
This doubt, no heed need you it pay.”
Such love we keep, it must be right.
