Between me and the world
You are a bay, a sail
The faithful ends of a rope
You are a fountain, a wind
A shrill childhood cry
Between me and the world
You are a picture frame, a window
A field covered with wild flowers
You are a breath, a bed
A night that keeps the stars company
Between me and the world
You are a calendar, a compass
A ray of light that slips through the gloom
You are a biographical sketch, a bookmark
A preface that comes at the end
Between me and the world
You are a gauze curtain, a mist
A lamp shining into my dreams
You are a bamboo flute, a song without words
A closed eyelid carved in stone

This poem is dedicated to my dear sweet husband...my best friend and lover for over forty years. We are truly Yin and Yang. It's like they said in Jerry Maguire "You complete me."
HAPPY VALENTINES DENN
Your still the one
and I Love you more...

That is so very lovely. I feel the same way about my darling husband of 26 years. We've had some hard days, some difficult times. But the love endures.
This is so beautiful! Makes me sigh.
Are you okay? I miss you!
