you are
the hands
which once wiped
away my tears
touching my calmness
pulling it back
from deep inside of me
the one who inspired
my verses
and made poesy sing
in my heart
and when I think
of gentleness
your name sounds
in my mind
a sensitive soul
behind the loud laughter
of your comic space
you are more
than you believe to be
more than your eyes can see
if only I could
find a way
to show you that
besides telling you
how grateful I am
for have meeting you
Author notes
This is for Yem, a little thanks for his support during good and bad times. Not once he complained about my whining, bad moods and the terrible apparition of It - Probably because I never gave him the chance to, poor Yem...

This is a wonderful tribute, kind of reminds me of my husband, especially "touching my calmness
pulling it back
from deep inside of me" Isn't it wonderful to have someone in our lives to help us balance and give us inspiration. Beautiful, congratulations on the HM!

Thank you Mallig
Yem 'held' my hands during a hard time in my life, and made me laugh when I thought laughter was far away from me. One can only be grateful to have a friend like him.
I think I'll steal your turtles

LOL... Thank you, Mari.
The thing about love is that it NEVER leaves us where it finds us. That you both entered without knowing each other was writing at the same time... has to be more than fate!

...definitely brushed by the wings of an earth angel! ~ Klassy

Memories that build a poem seem to always touch hearts. This is definately one of those heart string moments that shows caring and gentleness from both sides. Great write!

Dear Mari,
I agree with you, even though Yem has his silly moods (which we all love) He is deep down a very caring intelligent man whom I admire very much and am glad to have him in my life too. I know he tries to hide it but he ain't fooling any of us.
Happy New Year Mari, may it bring everything you desire.
Love Joan

He may wattle a bit but the fella is right.

I rather think it's lucky 'Yem' everyone has a desire to be appreciated. Quality appreciation goes even higher. ---- Thank you.

Aren't we sad, sappy critters. Neither knew what the other was writing, and now you have your revenge on my recent trick. I had no idea you were writing about me. My idea just popped into my head and I started writing. Thanks Snickers! I think at the end of the day the feelings are mutual.
But once thing...I've never complained about your bad moods? Oh my, such revisionist history...please write my biography!

You might have complained a lot, in your mind lol
