much.

My hope for you this Day …
     
    Is
for you to have a vision, or a reflection, of
    just
how beautiful and wonderful and special
    you
really are.
     
    For
you to understand, that without you,
    this
world would lose a bit of its luster,
    and
the joy that you bring to the people
    who
know you, would be the section of
    the
choir that would stop singing.
     
    I
want you to know, that there is no one
    on
this Earth, right now, or at any other
    time
in history that has had your blood
    coursing
through their veins, has had
    your
eyes to see the world the way you
    see
it, has had your laughter, your love,
    your
emotions, your outlooks, --
    No one has ever had your DNA that
    makes
you the most desired commodity,
    because
you are the only one in life to
have ever come this way.
     
    I
would love for you to see the beauty you
    created
in your boys, and the influence you
    have
in their lives, and the fact that, they
    would
have such a difficult time with out
    you.
     
    And
that, in your life right now, is a person
    who would
never bullshit you. Love you for
    who
you are, and bust his ass a thousand
    times
from Sunday to make you happy.
     
    I’m
so in love with you, that my heart is
raw, black and blue.
     
    But,
I couldn't think of a greater
    pain
to deal with, than the thought
    and
hope, that one day, you just
    may
- - really want to be with me.
     
    Baby,
I have some fairly good news.
     
    Please
believe in me a little?
I promise, that what you give to me in belief,
I will return to you in whatever you desire
    most.
     
    I
love you.

Thinking of her … To write a poem
after getting off of
work, driving home
and feeling like a
useless drone,
allowed my mind
to drift off in time.

And I imagined …

All the possibilities …
Of seeing her face,
hearing her voice,
touching her hand,
knowing it’s her,
and no one else.

The instinctive little
things that propel
a Man towards a
beautiful Woman.

But not just any Woman,
of soft senses,
wondrous eyes,
or delicate touch –
with playful laughter
and hungry kisses :*

These things cause
me to sway for her
much - and sway I
will, my own desires,
my own contentions
and my emotions –

A Gift for her fully,
and especially,
if she may be

– my given destiny.

A Letter Grounded in Gravity
     
    Good Morning Baby,
     
    I love you. I’m very happy that
things worked out yesterday. That you are not in some filthy place, surrounded
by useless people, wasting your precious time.
     
    I must tell you, you’re better than
everything that you have been doing and getting caught up in. You're so way
better than that, and you have better things in your life than to cheapen
yourself. No matter what the circumstances.
     
    I always feel privileged to be with
you, whether I pay or not. It’s worth it to me, because I know you need it, and
I know I love being with you more than anyone else in the world. But, even with
me, you are better than that.  Your boys would agree with me, because
you are their only wonderful Mom, and to me, you are the only person like who
you are that I know. In my eyes, you are special and unique and a gift and a
joy to experience. Your happiness is infectious and it spreads to me like a
flame.  Baby, please understand, when I say I love you over and over, it’s
not so I will believe it, or even to make you believe it, it’s just because it
is so.
     
    There are many reasons why I say
what I am saying now, and what I am about to say, so please don’t take offense
– but, baby, you believe in things other than yourself, you believe in right
and wrong and you believe in God. This I know because you wouldn’t have asked
me to pray for and you would not respond to me when I say, “I’m praying for
your peace in the situation you were in last night.”
     
    We are physical beings, having a
spiritual experience, and that is much like bread dissolving slowly in water.
That is sort of what life is like. We are dying slowly, and learning and
softening every day. For
