Love-notes
written under a Blue Moon
Written to go with popular tunes, not for style but to celebrate his
birthday, is all.
Forever will I hold your smile in me
To beam
Back at me
As I take a peak beyond towards my own horizon
Knowin’ when I seek your comfort
I’ll see your forever smile
Now

We stand together
Same comfort, same zone
Shared horizons
But you are My Blue Moon
Full and rare

New Moons come and go
Silver slivers endlessly rise and slip by
But you are twice-rich with flare
A blue flame
Gentle, brilliant, pure-hot

I needed keen eyes to spot
Your smile as it waxed
And waned
But I caught it long enough to know
You were for me
Some feel like standing still
…I see Time standing still
when I look in your eyes
my heart jumps one step beyond,
beyond time

my spirit flies…
then I feel
beyond dreams, free
child-energy
my joy and innocence given back to me

and I dance and skip and laugh
and be the me I was born to be

now I am real me
Truth be told
I hold in my palm
A gang of gripping hands
Making a ring of love
Fall into me

I’m not playing your brain
Clearly I don’t need a prophecy
To give you a new message
‘Cause my love is not
Written on the walls
But in my heart
Etched by your own fingers

Over tireless years you
Chipped away my marble
Sculpting lines of love
Until my new love-shape
Emerged
To true heart strings

Stand back at your work
As your once-cold Venus
Stretches her warm arms
Back to you in inviting embrace –

Find rest in my thanks –
You made me pink
The thought of you
Sears through me
Like liquid gold
In searing trails like lava down Hawaiian hills
Leaving a bed of loving memories
Rich loam to nurture me

Fresh green poems and melodies
Shoot up from me in sprays
That tickle you
Gently, healing
Fingers play up and down your spine
