-- My Night, My Day --

John Herlihy

 

The days always pass,

The hours never last.

This day forever ours,

Day of special powers.

Today you were born,

As if from heaven torn.

You are my only love,

Forever my turtledove.

To me you mean so much,

Without you I need a crutch.

You so dear to my heart,

May we never be apart.

Your love I do so cherish,

Without you I would perish.

You are my night and day,

No need for more to say.

A lovely message of love. Uncharacteristic of your poetry but enjoyed, nonetheless. I like this new turn of events. But I notice that it was written back in 2021.

A mysterious (middlingly antithetic) message. Who is the writer talking about. God? A new grandchild? A lover? I can't see Philautia in this. Thanks for sharing. Peace.... r

Very interesting to interpret this as both companion love or self-love. There is truly an arresting quality to it to think self-love, given so much of our thinking of love is without, ignoring the survival need to love oneself. As we get older, we realize without self-love, loneliness is easily ushered in. And, when all is said and done, as rewarding as loving another is, there is much to say for the courage to have a healthy love for oneself, given so much narcissism corrupts such effort.
