Valentine for Denise

Your dark eyes

the curves that grace your face

There is something about your presence

When I'm with you I know I'm home

where I've always belonged

This moment

This time

with you

A universe in a grain of sand

that is our life together

This one life

me, you and our children too

All eternity held in this moment
this one life we have together

I love you my darling Denise
I've always loved you
and all my longings are resolved in you

Happy Valentines my dear Denise

What is this longing?

What is this longing that hurts this way?

How can such sweetness make me undone?

I don't want anything else

only to be here with you.

To cry a thousand tears

a thousand years.

I don't want anything else.

Just this moment

just this one time with you.
