Ten Years That Count
My entry into Real Poetic's One Year Anniversary Challenge
A decade has passed since I first heard your name,
No more than a face in the screen and the mention of you from our friend,
Nothing could have prepared me for what came next!
Your voice was calling out to me, I will always retell -
Verity Lambert would have been proud,
Especially as we carefully lifted the Dalek up Glastonbury Tor!
Remembering how we made each other feel, as
September draws near,
And we look back on 10 years in our lives,
Responding to the synchronicity of our growth and our paths - before and after - and now it's
You and me with ten years behind and what comes ahead which we shall find!

Love Struck
With smiles we wait, For our love to come find us, Love never ending.

The Nature Of Strength
When you have a love so deep for someone, that it transcends all earthly comprehension, it makes you see not just love itself, in a whole different conscious perception, but it also causes you to view the rest of life, through that same lens. I have a friend, who has a light inside of her, the likes I have never been blessed enough to encounter, until April 22 2022, when I began my job at a local medical facility, and met her on the job, we were co workers for about a year and a half. The only other instance I have had a feeling that is similar in nature, was the deep-seated feeling of protectiveness which I had for my wife. I feel very strong inner drive, to prioritize her safety, I believe in a large part, to the number of people I have lost in my life.
