Retaining That Spirit

You bring on not only a chuckle
but a profound yearn to write.
As soon as your words touch me
I am overwhelmed with the light.

Hey, if there was ever a doubt
I'll say they have taken wings
for each encounter with your spirit
harmonizes like a choir sings.

Maybe I should get you on retainer
to keep the fire ever lit and ready.
My muse of late seems overtaken
inebriated, a drink quite heady.

I, at times, must stop and ask
how long you have lingered near
with that influence of sharing
where spirits are bound and clear.

I've shared with my soul's mate
for decades feeling it transcend
all the flavors the heart can feel
you've added to the spirit's blend.

Ofttimes I think just perhaps
we've stepped along the same trail
many are blind to their own spirit
we share a breeze on our sails.

I must know the value you charge
in keeping me on that branch of light
for each moment in that amazing aura
is filled with overflowing delight.

Hello Spencer

I really like this poem. You have a way of saying things that perhaps you might have written this for me. I think that this poem speaks volumes. Thanks for sharing this. Take care.

Your words of beauty and simple bliss,
Of muses and wondrous episodes of delight,
Ah, I yearn so deeply to feel like this
And stop the constant wonder of whether or not it's right.

Tears build up behind hazel eyes
And as your words sink in,
My mind begins to roam and I realize
I have to find a way, my soul must be cleansed.

Years worth of memories, I simply burn
And let my spirit float through the past.
Tears fall with each page I turn
And I know this time will be the last.

I know now is the time to let go,
I can't hold on to it always.
I must regain my hearts control,
In order to find happier days.

Your words of beauty and simple bliss,
Of muses and wondrous episodes of delight,
Ah, I yearn so deeply to feel like this
And stop the constant wonder of whether or not it's right.

It seems I've read these words before
But now they seem brand new
Comforting warm and loving...
Almost as much as you...
