Poems

This was a sappy attempt to impress a girl, a girl who eventually became my wife. So I guess it worked! I like it because it reminds me of the passion with which our relationship began. After a decade together, with all the daily stresses and distractions, it becomes easier and easier to forget.

�Morning Sunshine�

You are my beautiful morning sunshine.
My heart cries for you during the night.
My dreams are filled with visions of your beauty.
My arms long to hold your body close to mine,
     to caress you forevermore.
My fingers ache to run through your hair and across your cheek,
     and my lips ask only to kiss yours one more time.

You are my beautiful morning sunshine.
Your smile fills me with joy.
Your touch melts my defenses.
Your presence completes my life
     and gives me reason to struggle through another day.
I wake each morning thinking of you and of the beautiful touches we share,
     and I long for the moment when I will become one
     with my beautiful morning sunshine.
