There Are Days

there are enough to fill us up in crass and mature ways where we live up or down we decide these together wearing our emotional weather the smiles and not-there frown sees the times get better slowly slowly day by day the days when the time is right and our souls are wings taking flight what they attach to the silent notions shared by me and you as if we were different and we are, no mistake yet ever reverent the silent smile at awake and I watch you quiet and you watch me diet and so it goes the unheard mad urge to itch your back scratched, no contentment lacked sounds of the outside bird cooking and dishes loaves and daily wishes with seen and un-aclaimed joy a girl and a boy now known between the hours slowly proclaimed God joined in hands garden green walking a living esplanade this and more besides given and shared abide our focused eyes the guide born and cared for the living presence of now in the human form, a vow

Additional Notes:
This is a poem I have written in my current state of mind- which is clearly besotten- about where my relationship with Leila has deepened to. Alas, I arise each day to slay thee with words drawn from my heart, o love! and yet the threads only bind my hands to the keyboard, in another missive failed in dismissal of thine impulse! Thanks, Regis

Regis, I really liked this, clean, percise, the path that love takes, the blending of two lives and yes--the day to day events of life whether they be the simple or complex are the things that tie us to one another, that deepen the bond between two. Only one small nit, it is the word "esplanade" in line 3, 11th stanza simply because it feels out of place with the general language you've used to pen your writing... I enjoyed your offering and thank you for sharing.. Best always, Lora
