Nose to nose

I can see only the dark outline of smiling eyes
Cuddled nose to nose on a Sunday morning
I poke your dimple and your grin widens
You make me feel so very dear
And completely content
Thank you for being mine

You Are

I simply say 'I love you'
But what I mean is this:

You are the answer, the question;
The beginning, the end;
The fresh, the worn;
The base, the summit;
The summer, the winter.

Of my entire life.

Grateful, ashamed

I saw my reflection in a hotel mirror
(They are everywhere)
And I was so....disappointed
And I felt grateful that you love me
Which made me feel ashamed
(Because it is such a sad reason)

It was horrible to realize that I
Have not seen myself as I am in so long

I feel powerless and hopeless
But still, grateful
