While sipping wine and listening to soft Latin jazz and samba, I thought of the great love women/mothers provide unselfishly with no boundaries. Sadly, it often goes unappreciated. I truly believe it is difficult for any man to truly reciprocate the endless love & warmth their lady truly deserves.
This poem evolved from those thoughts.
.
the infinity of you
.
The little boy in me
stands before the immense
universe of your poetry
Where metaphors are constellations
and your deep verses
are remote galaxies
Your words travel beyond
time and space
forever eclipsing me
like a lonely particle of love
For you are my sun
I, your loyal moon
a small bewildered child
forever admiring
the infinity of you
.

So wonderful to hear from you G. Worried I wouldn’t have the chance to speak to you before the holiday.
Thursday is my way of saying thanks. I have been blessed this year. So many wonderful things have happened to me, including finding your poetry.
I imagine this is a long weekend for you. I wish you the most Happiest of Thanksgiving. I hope
you and everyone you love have a wonderful holiday. And if you have to drive, please drive safely, sadly too many people take the road with too many drinks in their head. Be safe.
Be happy.

Let me say something to you. I love the way you see past all of my clowning around and occasional flirting on my blog. You choose to look
beyond this caricature of a lady’s man and you go straight to the core. You stop here and see the admiration and love that I have for
women. I am very grateful for that. I do have respect for all women and the infinite power they have to love and sacrifice, and expect
nothing in return. I am in awe of women.
You are a rare and special lady. You have an aura that glows about you, inspiring everyone, but never blinding anyone with your powerful
light. The world would be a better place if there were more people like you.
I am grateful and lucky to have met you. Thank you for your wonderful support. I never take it for granted. Thank you
