My Joe… by AngelSeeker at All poetry

You’ll never meet another

Who loves quite like my Joe.

It shows in every suave caress

That leaves me all aglow

When my eyes meet his across the room

I know that I’m complete

And just like the first time

My heart still skips a beat

Women often tell me

How they believe they have a chance

For love because they see the way

My Joe and I; together dance.

To him I am an angel

Be he knows that I’m no saint

He has seen me delirious

With passion till I’m faint

He is my love; my heart; my lust

My all and everything

He brought me back from darkness

And taught me how to sing.

I dread even one tomorrow

Without him by my side

And so I bound my soul to his

Forever there to bide

If there is any God

When Joe is called by death

I will not live one moment

I will not breathe one breath.

I could not bear that hollow life

I knew before my Joe

So if God won’t grant us heaven

I’ll follow him below

A love like ours is humbling

A rare and special joy

That nothing can restrain

And nothing can destroy

Author notes

I don’t know if this is what you’re looking for, but I couldn’t sleep tonight… thinking about my Joe. Sometimes the love I feel for him is almost impossible to describe; and right now my worry over his health casts shadows over our lives. I don’t even want to try to imagine life without him. I think I’ll go lay down and hold his hand and pray.

beautifully written
Dear Patti,
I once thought poetry like this gone, archived and relegated to times we will never again experience. How pleasant it is, and how fortunate for us reading it now, to know that not only are love poems being written of this calibre, but that there are people, people like you and I, living living these realities. This is simply stunning!
I hope that things can be righted with your Joe. Rest assured though that all here on AP are in your corner 110%

But they grind exceedingly fine".

Keep the faith!!!!

How marvelous. Not only was the poem just fabulous, but your comment. The lay down and hold his hand and pray,oh my gosh how touching that was. I hope and pray you don't have to find out what it is like without him. But at least you do realize what you have. So many take for granted what they have, then when it is gone, well it's too late when their gone. So sweet you see it now. very nice write.
