For Dia

 

For Dia

Men are visual

So we first respond

To the look

 

You wore red

And strode

Purposefully across

The room

 

I like that

That is interesting

I thought in my

Male way

 

Now years later

You greet me

Across the bed

In your flannel pajamas

 

In between I have

Fallen in love with

All that is inside

 

Your tender, stern

And loving mother’s touch

And all of the small acts

Expressions of your

Unrelenting love

 

You are my best

Friend, my passionate lover

And confidant and

My valentine
