Life With Your Love  And what do I write for, what do I live for, without you? The sun, at least, has this world to awake But, to me, the day is already through  And I am dark before the night does break.  Without you, what else on this page fill? Talk of the Spring bringing the bird’s song? I should because our love’s rebirth does fulfill And the summer will come before long.  You are why I even write these lines at all Without you, no use for this blank page The loftiest lines only your beauty can call And read here our love would never age.  This is why I use this space for my feelings to show To preserve the one I could never live without  Else my sorrow not worth here to know  Your love is what my life is all about.       

Always Embraced   Here I am with this laptop instead of a pen or quill And its keyboard for its strokes impressed here But this should not be a barrier to a poet’s skill Another medium for our art to appear.   But my theme will remain the same Despite what means I use it to convey My love for you will, instead, appear in this frame But beyond here I wish in your heart stay.   A new way to express what is old The love I have that is still new No matter the means, this still told How much I am attracted to you.   Here I can capture what I feel No manuscript that can be misplaced And Time these words can’t steal Love in these lines always embraced.
