For my love.


Poem Artwork


 

Over the past two-plus years
we have shared countless "I love You's"
kissed until our lips were numb
smiled until our faces ached
and eaten enough sushi to grow our own gills

We've spent endless hours
making hot passionate love
worked hard and played hard
Had tickle wars and squirt-gun fights
chasing each other through the house
giggling like kids on a sugar-buzz

Over time I've learned that when you
softly say "Eddy?" then pause for a moment
a rhetorical question is forthcoming
which ultimately leads to
an argument about nothing
Realizing the ridiculousness of it all
we've laughed until our stomachs hurt
Although you did indignantly pour
an entire pitcher
of ice-cold water on my head
when I had fallen asleep during one such episode

We've spent hours in the kitchen
testing new dishes
enjoying each others meals
(except for the ten-year-old
wax-display pasta
you used by mistake ;)

We've spent many days
in airports and on planes
at
industry events, premiers,
Vegas shows, romantic dinners
and dancing the night away
in each other’s arms
Quiet times in nature's solitude
from the forest to the mountains
and along the ocean shores
Quiet nights at home just spent
cuddling in the glow of a warm fire
I have even performed
my riverdance routine for you
(in tighty-whities), let you win at
countless games of scrabble ;)
and made you suffer through consecutive
visits to the Enchanted Tiki Room at DisneyLand
(I know it's dumb but I'm an addict :)

Together we've explored the heavens
(with the telescope)
but heaven is just being with you
And I love you more with each passing day

Dear Eddie,

Precious moments, living memories and loving futures.

An entire pitcher of ice-cold water over the head in summer can be most refreshing (grinning sheepishly) you go Chants hehe ;-)

A beautiful loving write, Eddie, thank you for sharing.

Hugs and love
Elga

By letting her win at Scrabble you win the greater prize and this poem shows, so well, that you're a gracious winner and writer.

I'm going to jump in quickly this time. This write brought back so many happy memories. Yes, we've shared a lifetime in just two plus years. There are many more I could add to this list and maybe I will in a sequel of my own. I just have to clarify that when I poured the water over your head, we were in the middle of an argument and after a time I realised I was arguing with myself. Imagine how indignant I was to discover you'd fallen asleep??? I woke you up quickly enough but I have to admit that I thought I'd gone too far when I saw the look of shock on your face. I started running, you ran after me and when you caught me we both started laughing and...mmm let's just say we made up in the most delightful way.
You say here that you "let" me win at scrabble??????? I have to say you do try hard. Keep at it...you may eventually get it right. lol
As for the wax pasta. Who keeps ten-year-old wax pasta on display in a jar in their kitchen? I must say it was disturbing to watch you gag after the first mouthful when I had taken hours to prepare such a gorgeous meal for you. hahaha
I love you my darling!
Snuggles xxxx
