For Michael

I wrote this poem for a man I have never met.  He told me what he wanted in life, the kind of relationship he was looking for.  I find it so interesting how many people want the same thing yet can't find the one they want it with. I have no idea if he ever found her but he liked the poem. Maybe he will share it with her when he does. Hope  you enjoy!

Two hearts joined together in bliss from the night before
Clothes, shoes and rose petals strewn out on the floor
Filtered sun light shines across her delicate face
Wisps of hair lay softly there like eloquent pale lace

She senses that I stare at her and turns to say hello
My heart begins to beat fast, my face is all aglow
She tenderly lays her hand upon my pounding heart
And gently smiles, her eyes twinkle, she's God's work of art

I take her hand in mine and touch softly on her chin
I say "Good morning darling, let's start our days again"
We embrace each other gently, smelling each others scents
And greet another morning that has to be Heaven sent

The crisp smell of coffee begins to linger near
We gently rise to greet the day with elevated cheer
Our days are full and long as we go our separate ways
Evening finds us sharing intimately the events of our days
