Poetry for Robert LeePoetry for Robert Lee
And you lean to me, whisper so soft
"Trust me, we can fly"
I will believe.
I will sprout wings--
Bright, Beautiful wings
With shiny, iridescent feathers
And you embrace me, and kiss my lips
"Trust me, we are brave"
I will believe.
I will be strong
I will have armor
And my sword will be invincible
And you smile at me, your eyes shining
"Trust me, we can sing"
I will believe
I will lift my voice
And the pure sweet sound
Will make the eyes of heaven weep
And, tearfully, you reach deep inside my soul
"Trust me, we can love"
I will believe.
I will shred the chains of doubt
With my strength
I will soar into an endless sun-drenched sky
With my wings
And I will sing to the angels a new song
With my voice
All because
I believe.
O my love, you arise anew each day
You're black flannel cloaking the frigid night
Sky-high and master of all you survey
You're the mountains that reveal unknown heights
And the pale, jeweled sky when I stir from sleep
You are Orion, my star warrior
And the diver plumbing the ocean's deep
You're passion's golden metamorphic core
And the dew covered meadow by the creek
You're the burning sun in violet hued hours
Illuminating ev'rything I seek
You're the grey mists of a pre-dawn shower
And the humble white knight of childhood dreams
Defeating the demons reality brings
It seemed I had waited an eternity
To hear your voice,warm and humorous
To feel the quiet, gentle strength of your hands
To see the silent intensity in your turquoise eyes
To have my soul set on fire
And after all this time together
It still fills me with awestruck wonder that
Your warm laughter replenishes my life
Your hands set my body ablaze with joy
Your eyes enkindle my spirit
And every time you kiss me or whisper my name
You set my soul on fire
"Still"
My own dear love, after so many years
Through so much laughter (and a few tears)
I can still say I love you,
Still drown in your eyes
Still feel my heart pound
When you near.
My forever love, after all these days
Through this lifetime of joy (and sometimes pain)
I can still say I love you,
Still sigh at your embrace
Still crave your presence
Like dry earth craves rain.
