Yes My Darling

Back in 2007, as I thought about my wife, I wrote this little poem. At the time, I experimented with different poetic forms. I used the Acrostic form for this one but modified it a bit. Instead of spelling with the title down the side, I extended it into complete a thought. And with Valentine's day around the corner, I thought no better time to share it than now.

Yes My Darling

Isolated within my mind, are thoughts of a friend,
    a lover, a beautiful wife.

Looking back on days gone by
    when we would sit and gaze past twilight
On ocean sands, sitting, waiting, counting every seventh wave,
Violet skies with shades of red,
    we watch as the ocean currents break;
Every seventh wave, a look, a kiss, an embrace.

You gaze into the ocean’s light
    as stars wander across a velvet night,
Our eyes embrace; we kiss, sheltered in the heavenly moonlight,
Untouched from these days gone by,

I reminisce about these signs of love.

Down the shores, along the water’s edge
On the sands,
    we walked through the waters swirling beneath our feet.

Yes, my darling, I love you, I do.
