You and Me


Over time we have formed a
more perfect union.
Our names at the
bottom of a license
a quarter of years
ago.

Under time I have walked to
gather your shadow,
white as the snow,
the passion trailing, and
grace on grace.

And time after time I saw
us meet again fresh,
honest, standing
bare, with each other.
It’s you and me
babe.

  1. I especially love that second stanza. Grace on grace. Isn't this love? Sounds like you have a good one, friend. Keep treasuring that.

  8. Excellent love poem. Past the effusions of erotica and into the stuff that counts--not that erotica isn't a very nice thing and all, but its a fickle star in the dark compared to your gathering of light-filled white shadows.
