I don’t often write love poems. I have written only a handful and they are all about one person. He is a man who has Ireland running through his blood and a heart that beats with a strength and rhythm that makes everyone around him feel safe. He has faced grief and adversity, but has always persisted, always lived with a true voice and the courage to be exactly who he is. He is the embodiment of kindness and generosity. He brings laughter and pure joy into the world around him. He is at once brave and vulnerable, a man who takes care of everyone with gentle patience, and a boy who is delighted in the world of Doctor Who and Batman and video games. He loves science and technology, isn’t afraid of the future and has a mind for building things. He is a teacher and a scholar of life. He is a friend and a strong shoulder to lean on. He is my husband and my good fortune. He is my champion, my safe space, my home.
Happy Anniversary My Love!

Beautiful. I write love poems for one man too, he has the blood of the Norse running through his veins… but today, no not today, he will not get a poem… for I too have the blood of the Norse and I am in warrior mode, pissed off at his latest endeavor. So we shall draw ruins until the anger subsides and he will see his warrior wife was right all along. (Sorry about the vent.) Your poem really makes me want to get back to my love in the space where I feel safe. Happiest wishes to you and yours! Happy Anniversary!!! ~Kim
March 17, 2018 at 12:51 pm
Kim, I love this – this is a fucking poem, not just a vent!!!!!! Your husband is a lucky man and will see that his warrior wife is right!!!!!
March 17, 2018 at 12:59 pm
That’s a poem? What you write are poems! Cool words and ideas… I’ll take the compliment but damn! I just want the hubs to admit defeat! HA!
March 17, 2018 at 12:59 pm
Let me know what happens!!!!!
March 17, 2018 at 1:01 pm
Well, Susan, I will win… it is only a matter of time… 😉
March 17, 2018 at 1:56 pm
Happy anniversary to you, and your prince charming, Susan. You too deserve each other, you loving and lovable people. Now, how about a love poem?
March 17, 2018 at 2:14 pm
Thank you Bojana!! I have three poems in the making for him, but they are tough for me. A challenge is good though.
March 17, 2018 at 2:21 pm
Can’t wait. We both like dark poems, but a good love poem can also be a very pleasurable experience.

Susan, at last, my Norse man walked in requesting parlay with a bag of sweets for his sweet. As a warrior woman I respect the parlay and enter into negotiations but I tire of the talk quickly, knowing if I disrespect the parlay I will develop a soul of unrest. The negotiations finally come to an end and we live to spend many more days in the good graces of each other’s arms… respect the parlay! (marriage is compromise;))
March 18, 2018 at 6:22 am
I am thrilled to hear it Kim!!!! I love this so much!!!
