I asked the universe for you.
I described you. I put in my request.
Compassionate
...
He was a man I found
As friend and lover as
One I could open myself to
Intellect, heart, eros.
...
Countless breaths in eighty years
Gave voice to
Reproach, complaint
Anger, envy and scorn
...
A warm blanket
You said I am a warm blanket for
You
That so often you had
...
Sunlight is intermittently dimmed
Then bright
Clouds of impermanence
Drift away in the light of your smile
...
The blue slate surface
Of a great river
I observe and admire
Each morning as I travel
...
I feel the wind shifting
Is it time to tack?
You will sail to another shore soon
...
Two ships sailing in traverse navigation,
Which of us sent out a signal first?
Wind, waves, sun, ocean spray
...
There were old growth trees and shrubs
Some were memories worth keeping
Some were diseased
...
The wedding ring I gave you
Sits on my dresser
Where you left it
Two years ago
...
I gazed at the perfect circle of your blue iris
First one, then the other
And I saw my reflection
Your eyes shone with attraction, affection
...
Space, light, energy, life, love
Is that God?
I pray, I ask, I am granted
Love, discernment, wisdom beyond myself
...
First words, speak those first words
In that first language
Of loving and
Being loved
...
A curtain of shy caution lightly veils the window
Draw it back and see the deep blue of an early evening sky
...
I have lived in Florida since early childhood. I have studied Art and Art History, traveled to Europe, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Cuba. The best was Italy. My day to day life consists of my position with a large company, to make a living. My great loves are Art and traveling. Within the United States, I have traveled to Arizona, Colorado, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, San Francisco, CA., NYC, NY. Of these, I would say San Francisco and Manhattan are my favorite places. I've raised a daughter, loved and lost..and loved again. I will go to Italy again before I die. I recently re-married. My husband is fighting cancer, and I am doing what I can to help...update: He died. I miss him.)
I Asked The Universe
I asked the universe for you.
I described you. I put in my request.
Compassionate
Passionate
Quick witted
Strong willed
Here
You are not what I expected
And you are all I asked for
In your eyes I see pain, kindness
vengeance, conviction, curiosity
friendship, love
empathy, anger, remorse
I have compassion for you beyond all I remember having for any man.
Now
In your presence,
I dance
Desire, so intense
I wake and find my arms aching for you.
I am terrified
My heart will burst.
