Hey Folks it’s me again, are you still out there?  I hope so.  Anyhow, Today I continue Poetry Tuesday with another one that I wrote for my wife when we were dating.  I can’t wait until someone says “Why don’t you write something new for (insert name or explicitive here)’s sake?”

I like to share some older stuff.  So there.  Maybe next week.

Anyway, Today I have titled this poem Forever.  Enjoy and let me know if you like some of these!

The Return of Poetry Tuesday: All Pales to You

Hello all.  Today I am returning Poetry Tuesday to the lineup!  This poem is one I wrote for my wife not too long after we got married.  I thought it would be appropriate with Valentines Day coming this Thursday.  Let me know what you think, and feel free to share it with your Sweetheart!

All Pales to You

By: Justin Matthews

There are stars alight in the winter night,

But all pales to you.

The Dawn shines golden o’er spring fields,

But all pales to you.

The summer is green, the trees shine with sun,

But none compare to you.

Trees are put to shame, You light the room, the space, the Universe.

My heart glows with thoughts of you,

My life better for having you.

You swell my heart to bursting point,

complete I have become.

Without you, Life is empty, the winter cold.

The midsummer blues can touch me not when I am with you.

You are my sun, my heart, my angel.

My everything is yours, do with me as you will.

I will never leave, nor be cast aside.

You my Dear are my one True Love!

-Justin
