Of all the husbands I ever chose
You are as rare as a purple rose.
Your voice excites me.
Your mind makes
My heart unfurl
Entrances me.
When I dream of
You
(and I do by the hour)
There is a great
Roaring fire
Your friends gather round
What a beautiful sound.
You talk there for hours.
There is music and laughter
Love in your voice.
I am joyful you are in my life
Thinking of you gives my day
A magical start
Did you know
Your way of life
Opens up Soul?
Having you for a friend,
My beloved,
Gives me a glow.

so beautiful and so lucky to have that kind of love!
Indeed, thank you for sharing the moment.
This poem won an Editor’s Choice Award many years ago. It meant my poem would be on the first page of an anthology. It cost about one hundred US dollars for a copy. I took the book to show my Father. (He not knowing of my poverty at the time, thought it was a gift to him.) He said “Thank you daughter.” That book was with him when he passed.
