(Because I love you)
©2006 M. Bennett Hooper(Mikii)
Every minute that you are in my life is like an hour in paradise.
How can one compare that which is priceless to anything else?
I surrender to all that I held dear and pray that you not fear the whirlwind of my time with you nor allow it to become for you a burden impinging upon your life, your plans, or you goals some of which we shall share.
I shall remain in your presence grateful that you were placed in my life at this time.
My life has been changed by our meeting as it was preordained no doubt from another time.
I do unashamedly want you very much and do not want you to feel any discomfort about it or harbor any preconceived conceptions about my expectations.
I expect everything but willingly accept whatever you choose to give and or not give.
Many days have passed since you were in my dreams, my thoughts, and my ethos.
So tender is this love that its’ presence is recognized throughout a coming eternity.
I am that I am consciously expressing my freedom from a reality that was destined before time to be. And you are who I have humbly awaited to enter my life.
I therefore love you with an intensity that wreaks of my self discovery and capacity to be worthy of your love.
I am free yet willingly enslaved by life’s possibilities.
I am too old for continuing BS. The Den stated this rewrite was unnecessary. This is my choice, my God given gifts do not require that I plagarize anything. I have not shouted my prior literary accomplishments but I guess I'll have to, so be on notice. Peace, love, blessings, and gratitude to all who review,read, and inspire me in my sunset years. <Mikii>
Wonderful write!...and I'm so glad you have put the footnote there that tells us that several lines were that from Gwendolyn Thomas...as I admired both you and Gwendolyn a great deal!!!!!
Wonderful work to you both!
