Below you will find an amalgamation of meager poems, letters and thoughts I have written about loved ones of the past and present. Love is an overwhelming concept that in itself is beautiful and grand. When I wrote these I was consumed and drowned by it, whether through fear of loosing that love or through feeling inadequate to my partner. Now I have learned not to let it consume me and to just let it be enjoying each moment. Little perfect pictures of moments in time. I leave these here as a reminder to never loose myself again and just let love be.
Good Morning My Lover,
In all the world despair, apathy and depression abound. I am often amazed in the meaning my life's existence has in this world. I am much older now and to this effect have few material possessions. I have neither a home, a new car or a Career which offers great benefits and pay. I have some college, am very well trained as a Police officer and have prior Military experience. Is there a guide book to life, which states where I should be now and what I should have? If so I doubt I have met those expectation set forth on those pages.
To all this I happily laugh, for I have been gifted beyond treasures and mere words. I have the love of the most beautiful woman I have ever met and have been blessed with the love of two wonderfully great children. Who have taken me as their own as father.Thank you honey for giving my life value.
Eternally Yours,
Your Husband
I wrote this letter to my ex-wife, Sherri, many years ago when we were still married.
A Quilt is All we Need
For on that quilt,
I would make love to you,
Passionate breathless affairs.
Our hearts and bodies entwined as one.
Watch countless movies and
Go on countless picnics with you.
Snuggle up on cold evenings,
Out at the lake with you.
And when I missed you,
The way I do now.
I could wrap myself inside that quilt,
And cry and smile and laugh,
For it would be like having you near.
Your smell would permeate it,
Your laughter would be whispers,
Along the thread.
For love is a tender
And fragile thing,
And while you have it memories,
Should Be Made.

Love's Vision
The breath of your hair,
The curve of your face,
The feel of your lips,
With each blessed kiss,
Erotic touches with fingers of lace,
These things my heart yearn for,
And hungrily ache.
In deep pools of crystal blue oblivion,
Your eyes enrapture my soul.
No longer for granted,
These things I will take.
I love you so Honey,
With each impassioned embrace.

Rib Reunited
My heart beats hard in my chest,
To see you each day.
My heart yearns for your presence,
When you are away.
My love grows to immeasurable bounds,
With each dream I have of you.
And when I awake and rollover,
I see you there, beside me.
I watch you in gentle sleep.
Your chest rises and falls,
In sweet rhythmic tranquility.
You're silky golden hair,
Awash the pillow in a vibrancy of Gold.
Your satin smooth skin aglow.
This is where I was meant to be.
GOD, I thank you,
From the depths of my heart.
For, I have found my other rib.
And it resides next to my beloved's heart.
I love you Honey.

NEVER FORGET!
When she speaks, LISTEN. For every word she speaks that falls upon deaf ears, murders a piece of her soul.
Always keep your teeth clean, for her lips may soon seek a kiss.
Plan special moments or perfect moments in romance. A quilt, bottle of wine, cheese, crackers, and a movie or beach at night. Do something similiar often. For each moment you waste with her, will be regrets you take to the grave.
Scented oil, a warm room, fragrant scents and a long massage. Is fun to give her and you may get one in return.
Prepare a fancy meal for her, not hamburgers and fries, and eat by candlelight. Put the toys laying around the livingroom up for this, at least.
On your days off, make a personal vow, to do more around the house. Surprise her by washing the clothes, the dishes, cleaning the house and cook dinner for her. Make your days off, moms time to rest and relax as well.
I use to iron my ex-wifes nursing scrubs every evening for her next workday.
A driftwood fire by the lakeside or beach at night and a quilt equates to serious snuggle time.
Post it notes stuck all over the house with phrases of affection. Could also lead to a nice gift.
Plan your anniversary, her birthday, Christmas and Sweethearts day (October 16th, for those of you not in the know) with care. never forget the flowers.
Make a Happy Day for your wife. I would send her a happy package to her work every coupla months with "Bath & Body Works" scented lotions, body sprays and oils; A nice blouse or nursing scrub top, a small box of fancy chocolates; a cute small gift of affection; a small bouqet of flowers; and a poem written on a nice card. She loved the attention and the praise her coworkers gave her and um... you'll like the attention when she gets home.
Do something together. Whether going to the gym, jogging, yoga, aerobics, Karate, dancing, card night, bowling etc. It doesn't matter what it is just as long as you both like it and can get out once a week or so and be social doing it.
Limit all activities that exclude your wife, no man I mean it. Listen having fun with a hobby, on computer, hunting if done to excess can lead to a fatally declining relationship.
Never forget to tell her everyday, that she is beautiful and that you appreciatte her and love her.
Never ever go to bed angry with each other. Learn to be more the willow and not the oak. Apologize when you are wrong and yes even quicker when you are right. They are never going to really loose the arguement anyway.
Open yourself an account at a jewelry store and get use to layaway. Give her something really nice every year. Bud it is called Anniversary. Commitment to saving and paying will astound her with how much you care.
BUY HER LINGERIE OFTEN. And if you follow at least some of the above, I guarantee she will model it for you. believe me she loves feeling sexy.
Try not to make her tell you to do something twice. If she asks you to change her oil in her car. Do it. Women acquaint procrastination with not caring about them.
Spoil your wife rotten and she will spoil you.
Be wary of your single friends. if they try and get you to go out alot without her. They are not your friends.
Become more of a listner and less a fixer. Sometimes all she wants to do is curl up in your arms and cry. Spend that time with her and share her feelings. Be sure to always ask her how her day was before complaining about yours.
Take your wife on a date.
Plan overnighters and just get away with your wife. Nice hotel, fancy resteraunts whatever it is important not to plan what you two do together, just let it happen.
If this sounds like to much trouble for you. Well my friend you won't see it till it is to late. If you do at least some of these things, You will be rewarded because she will be just as passionate and thoughtful to you. And you will find that being a great giver gives more rewards then you can imagine. I live to see every smile that blessed her lips. It became a labor and gift of enjoyment as well to myself. For each precious moment you let slip by with her. Will become regrets you take to the grave..
The above are attempts at wisdom, I am passing on. Please take heed. I did but to late.Written by: A. Sutton 1999
