The Beat Is So Good...

The warmth of your fire, carefully fed
Lips of flame, still in my head
We were younger then...

I was afraid, you were bold
Love lies hurt me, had been told
Bandaged heart...

Twice before, my history repeated
Your's only once, had been seated
Abused and used...

I stayed that night, bike didn't start
She knew she couldn't hold my heart
In the face of you...

The years have been up and down
True heartbeats we have found
Weather together...

My ring, a symbol of the deed
Finger-tight, is all you need
I promise...

Glorious, the years have been
Ask me, I'd do it again
Forever and always...

Deep passoion

I love it, repeat 3 times. You have to be a catch. Your wife is the luckiest woman. I have read a few love ones you have written about your dear heart. You do not see it anymore,pure love. Always I feel this kind of relationship died years ago. You give me hope, and you should give your beautiful wife a gift of a bound love poems on your next anniversary, I would swoon to feel so much love leap off the pages into my heart. Better than cupids arrow any day, and so is this poem. Thank you. Love Lyz. XXX

I dove deep into passion when I met my wife. That is a capital idea! A bound volume of love poetry inspired by her. Again, I feel so lucky to get such a marvelous response from all of you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Gee

Diamond Huh?

I am so overwhelmed by your response! I only know that since I have come to Neo. that I have improved somewhat. But I will give credit where due. I steal a little from all of you. I cannot imagine life without my wife. Or Neo. In that order. Thank you, Gee.

The Beat...

I blush, I don't have much to give her, but what is in my heart. It is so filled up that I have to let it out or it will burst. I am pleased to no end by the response I get each time I write one for her. I am giving it to her in the morning,[well, about two or three hrs. now.] Thank you for the 'gush' L& Hugz, Gee

i didn’t relise you had

i didn't relise you had such a soft setimental side. you post a compelling write here.Gotta keep an eye on you.The name Geezer has special meaning for me I named my older brother that after hearing it in a three stooges episode ,over forty years ago. ........o

Don't tell 'Killer'...

He doesn't know that "Softy' is still alive. He thought he had killed him off long ago. I saved him after finding him lying by the roadside, whilst coming home from 'Heartbreak Hotel'. I am prouder of the name 'Geezer' than I ever have been after hearing that. I aquired it from a Frenchman I used to work with. My name [Guy] is 'Gee' in French. Being the oldest one of the group, it was natural that it morphed into Geezer. I remember that episode of the 3 Stooges. Thank you for the read and wonderful comments, Gee

Missing It...

No matter what anyone says, you never get over having been in the spotlight. I am amazed at how well this one has done, and it makes the spotlight all the more bright and warm, that it is this one that is getting it. Thank you, Julie. Gee

your wonderful buoyant sense of life is embedded in each line

Yay, Spotlight, woohooo. Dear Gee, you know I always enjoy any read from you, sometimes it's hard to keep your character out of your writing, with you it's always such a bonus, your wonderful buoyant sense of life is embedded in each line... I reckon you're made of rubber & you will always bounce, never mind what happened to Icarus. You are such a joy here & your writing sings it loud & clear.... & HAPPY ANNIVERSARY I am proud of you & hope you are proud of yourself, good men are not so easy to find, reckon I'd love your wifey, she clearly knows what to apreciate too. Give each other a hug for me. Cheers Anni~ "Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body". ~Elizabeth Stone

Yes, I do bounce...

My wife is the one I must thank for my bouncyness. I am sure that to know her is to love her. You have to get past the gruff exterior, but she has a heart full of cotton-candy. My sweet! She has a fan club amongst my friends, and is known for saying what is on her mind, but they have the utmost respect for her. We have already given so many hugz today, that my arms are sore, but I guess one more couldn't hurt. Thank you for your wishes, Gee

Speechless...

Thank you so much, Sourav. Thank you for your most kind comments, I in turn am stunned to get all the responses I have gotten for this one. All I ever intended for this, was to tell my wife how much I love her on our anniversary. I guess love speaks to us all. Geezer

Jayney is...

A ball of fire, she is so prolific. I no sooner finish commenting on something she has written, then I have another to read and comment on. You are right. I feel no shame, only the gladness of being in the same race. That makes me feel a winner. ~ Geezer
