** Hello, my dearest and shiniest of friends…
This post was supposed to be for Romantic Monday, but I finished it early and couldn’t wait until then to publish. I’m impatient sometimes. Please be sure to get your own Romantic Monday posts ready, visit Mr. Silly Person’s Blog, and link up!
And without further ADO, I give you…
MY LOVER’S ARMS
*
My lover’s arms are long and lanky,
Which makes them perfect for
Securing
A bouncy girl with ADHD
Who wants to run away into herself.
*
My lover’s arms are mighty
When he uses them to
Embrace
A woman so emotional
And ready for an epic battle.
*
My lover’s arms are sexy
As they present me with flowers
Showering
His bride with unexpected joy
Just because he felt like it.
*
My lover’s arms are unyielding
In the middle of the night
Caressing
My familiar and pleasing body
Leaving me breathless.
*
My lover’s arms are gentle
As he picks up his baby girl
Swinging
Her in circles while giggling
And being her first love.
*
My lover’s arms are protective
As he wraps them around my shoulders
Shielding
His beloved from the darkness
She allows to enter into her mind.
*
My lover’s arms are patient
While they rest upon his son
Reassuring
His boy of his unfailing love for him
Even when that boy is not perfect.
*
My lover’s arms are an alliance
Born on an October wedding day
Anchoring
A wayward ship lost at sea
To a harbor deep within his soul.
*
My lover’s arms are steadfast
Living with this fickle heart
Cultivating
A meandering and invasive vine
Into a landscape of contentment.
*
My lover’s arms are contemplative
As his hands are folded on his lap
Praying
For guidance over every step
And for help to be more than he already is.
*
My lover’s arms are weak
When for the first time they
Held
His firstborn baby boy
Who was instead a very pink baby GIRL.
*
My lover’s arms are compassionate
An example of chivalry and humbleness
Helping
Those who are less fortunate than he
Bringing hope where there once was none.
*
My lover’s arms are mine
To have and to hold
Surrounding
This unpredictable tornado
With a hurricane of calm.
*
MY LOVER’S ARMS
Your lovers arms are lucky
to hold and behold
such a wonderful woman
that can write an ode
like this.
Awwwww, thanks Guap! You rock!!
This is so beautiful and a perfect homage to your wonderful husband.
Thank You! He is pretty wonderful, MOST of the time anyway ;o)
I share in your homage.
<3 not for YOUR husband, of course.
Of course! Ha!
Wow Ginger….that was absolutely beautiful.
Thank You!! I appreciate that veddy veddy muchly!
Oh, snaap! This is awesome.
Thank You, daddy! Who knew?
That it was awesome? I didn’t until I read it.
Oh, if I wrote it, we all knew it would be awesome, silly stormtrooper!
Oh, damn. I’m not as smooth as a normally am today.
AACK! Eat some butta!
Butta isn’t smooth. What’s smooth? Hmmm… A ha! Kahlua and milk. THAT is smooth. Yummy. I need some.
Ewwwwww.
Peanut butter is smooth! And delicious.
Right, but if I don’t have something to wash it down with I’ll choke. Wait! Is that your plan? You devious litte…
Mwa ha ha haaaaaaa. *snort*
Vengeance shall be mine!
Sit down stormtrooper, I turned the tv off, remember?
Haven’t you seen that one movie whose name I can’t think of? I came out of your TV. I will get you.
I look forward to it!
LMAO. You’re crazy. You make me laugh.
Looks like we finally understand one another, then!
Oh, no. I’ve understood that pretty much from the get-go. I’m just now saying it.
I think you’re the first person who ever waited to call me crazy! *WooHoooo*
Awww…so nice, Ginger. Makes me all fuzzy inside.
Thank you! Wait, have you been drinking? Is that why you’re fuzzy?
Fuzzy….warm and gooey….not just brought on by alcohol.
This is beautiful, mama. What a lucky man (and it sounds like you’re very very lucky, too). I’ve seen pictures and you two are the cutest EVA. Please tell me you shared this with him….’cause you gonna get lucky!!!!!!!!
Living with this fickle heart
Cultivating
A meandering and invasive vine
Into a landscape of contentment.
- Favorite lines.
<3
Shucks, thanks! He hasn’t had time to read it yet today, but he will ;o) I always get lucky…snort!
CAreful waving this poem around – you’ll inspire men for miles around to drop to one knee and propose on the spot. Your man is lucky, and you are lucky to have him. But he’s especially lucky to have a woman capable of writing such an incredible ode to your love for him. I’m metaphorically speechless.
Who’s the girl at the end in the picture?
Daymn! Thank You!
That girl is a reminder of someone I once knew, in the arms of someone I know now…
You make me smile and sigh at the same time.
Same to YOU! Thanks!
Awww… I can feel my big blueberry head swelling with pride… you know what I mean.

He’s a lucky man.
