How Do You Know

How do you know when you are in love

Is it the way you feel when he kisses you

His lips soft; the kiss urgent yet gentle like a dove

Or the way each day with him is new

And stolen moments with him seem too few

Is it the comfort he conveys in his words

Making you feel shielded and loved

The way they wrap around and protect you like swords

Keeping you warm and fitting like a glove

You can feel the promise of love

Is it the look in your eyes as you adoringly stare

The gentle way you stroke his cheek

The way you brush from his eyes stray hair

Or the way with a glance he makes your legs grow weak

And your voice grow shaky when you try to speak

Is it the way your mind is always on him

How to thoughts him subconsciously you always seem to roam

How he’s never out of your thoughts, making your head swim

The way you daydream of maybe sharing a home

Or writing your feelings in a poem

When My Life Comes to Its End

I’ve loved you so completely

I’ve loved you unconditionally

And when my life comes to its end

I hope you will be there my friend.

I hope you’ll be there at my last breath

And hold my hand at time of death

Please watch my essence on its way

From this life into the fade.

I’ll always be right by your side

Always and forever just like a bride

Even though I’ll just be a memory

I hope in your heart I’ll always be.

Fault

When I tell you that I was distraught

Over things about which we fought

I never meant to assign a fault

It takes two to tango I’ve been taught

I know responsibility you always take

For my tears and resulting heartache

And I’m a martyr as you’ve expressed

Two peas in a pod we are at best

It’s obvious a pair we two make

We’re so much alike for our own sake

I understand you and you understand me

So from fault we cannot flee

For conflict comes from participation

By both parties in syncopation

So this burden we’ll place in a vault

And no one will assign to it fault.
