Poems For My Love

Here are fifty-five poems inspired by strong emotions during my years of attractions, encounters, involvements, and finally the love I was seeking. They are very accessible and lend themselves to reading aloud. Some are rhymed, most are not. Opening lines of a few: 1) Taking, gently, with both strong hands/My upward-seeking face into your life... 2) You are like a big red flower/Blooming in my lettuce row... 3) Since you came thundering into my life/Like a train at final destination... 4) The greatest joy in human reach is/Kisses like firm and juicy peaches... 5) I want to feel your fleshy form and feel your fingers feeling me... 6) We didn't know that it could be so good./Having kissed at least a hundred frogs... 7) Like leather-bound volumes, pages gold leafed/We approach each others' lives...
