All Yours

Through It All

My Darling…
Through good times and not; through all the sweetness and what comes that’s bitter; through every sunny and rainy day, through agreement and difference, through health and sickness… I will love you and keep my place by your side. Always.

“Through It All” by Wayne Visser
Worlds may collide –
The sky turn to black
Mountains may crumble
The earth shake beneath your feet
Rivers may dry up
The oceans lash out with tidal waves –
And through it all
I will stand beside you.

Others may desert you –
Fair weather friends and fickle family
They may walk away
Turn their backs and harden their hearts
They may change their minds
Break their promises and leave –
But through it all
I will be beside you.

Storms may come –
The seasons turn to winter
Rain may fall
The sunshine blotted out to grey
Drought may strike
The soil left parched and cracked –
Yet through it all
I will stay beside you.

People may talk –
Wag their poison tongues and frown
They may whisper
Spread their rumours like a plague
They may sow their lies
Tut-tut and shake their disapproving heads –
Still through it all
I will be beside you.

We may be apart –
Separated by borders and time zones
Oceans may divide us
Whole continents stand in our way
Walls of belief may rise up
Demarcating your world and mine –
And through it all
I will appear beside you.

Sickness may visit –
Weaken your will to rise and shine
Time may grow heavy
Drag down your body and fray your mind
Doubts may linger
Gnawing at our love like a cancer –
But through it all
I will remain beside you.

Through all of this and more –
Through shining days and unexpected adventures
Through vivid nights and breath-taking summits
Through blissful moments and beauty discovered
Through passion flights and laughter spilled together –
I will be beside you
Because side by side, for now and always
Is where we belong.

My Heart Is True

Darling…
There is no meaning to be found beyond what I express. No amount of thought can figure out what was never spoken, expressed or done. Please accept what I say and what you see as the reality I live in. My heart is true.

affection

it.

More Lasting

Sweetheart…
Saying I love you sounds too simple. Saying you mean the world to me doesn’t say enough. There is no definition that could truly describe this love.

From “A Year From Wednesday” by James Browning

bigger than
four letters;
Far more
beautiful than
it appears.
Deeper than
can ever
be imagined.
Higher than
possible to
comprehend.
Wider than
a distance
can be measured.
And more lasting
than our lives.

Completely, Absolutely and Without Question

Sweetheart…
What I felt for you long ago was so vibrant and real, but I could not have imagined then how it would mature and grow. The weight of my love for you today is beyond explanation. I love you completely, absolutely and without question.

From the song “Everlasting Love” by Robert Knight
flow-of-loveWhere life’s river flows,
no one really knows
Till someone’s
there to show
the way to lasting love.
Like the sun shines,
endlessly it shines
You always will be mine
it’s eternal love.
When other’s
love-light’s gone,
ours will
still be strong
We’ll have our very own,
everlasting love.

The Remedy For My Yearning

My Love…
You are far, far away, yet right here with me. Your love is a poultice for my ache; the remedy for my yearning. Knowing how you feel in your heart about me brings joy that can not be described in words.

Whatever Price I Pay

My Love…
Time has caused what is in my heart to grow to healthy and strong. All others faded away over the years, but my feelings for you grew. My heart was once in my chest, but it’s yours now. Once given so completely it can not be taken away.

From the song “Old Friend” by Phyllis Hyman
woman running fingers thru his hairI miss the way
you run
your fingers
through my hair
Those cozy nights
we cuddled
in your easy chair
Oh, no,
I won’t let
foolish pride
turn you away
I’ll take
you back
whatever price
I pay

Overwhelmed

Sweet One…
Before I realized it, love for you filled my heart. When I discovered the depth of what was there I was overwhelmed with emotion. In every cell of my body; in every corner of my being my love for you fills me.

“Everything to Me” by Catherine (www.short-love-poem.com)
love lightYou are the light
when there is no sun.
You are the rainbow
after the rain is done.
You are the star
that twinkles in the night.
You are the moon
that glows so bright.
You are the wind
that whistles my name.
You are the love
when the world is the same.
You are the flowers
the bee’s never miss.
You are the beach
the warm sun kisses.

Perfect for Me

My Darling…
“This is not my first rodeo”, but I hope my last. Searching for perfect love meant what I desired was out of reach. You came along unexpectedly and are outside what I thought I wanted, but you’re PERFECT for me. Love wins.. finally.

spooning tumblr_mcqxjnidgG1rvs5c9o1_500EDITOn one side, there’s the peaceful kind of love; the one that offers stability, comfort, and security. There are fights included, of course, but minor and infrequent ones. It’s mostly a soothing, tender love that dominates the relationship. And you think that’s all you want and need, until… You discover a different side. It’s almost foreign to you and completely unlike the usual, stable type of feelings you get with that other person…but that’s precisely what makes it appealing. A rush. An unknown adventure, inviting you in to discover it. Then it becomes a problem. The tranquility of spotting your lucky bracelet vs the excitement of unfolding a new gift. The boring vs the new, Truth vs passion. Which in the end translates to love vs lust. And what sets them apart, is that love is always worth it.
