I think I'm fairly versed in words and take joy
in the turning of a phrase
Looking for hidden meaning and hidden thought
Oridinary words used in extraordinary ways bring
new depth to shallow perception
Very special thoughts expressed in very special
ways enhance life's play
Even the most banal of situation becomes empowered
with the writer's pen
Yet despite the power of the scribe some words
I thirst to transform from pen to mouth
Often the written achieves common bond but some
words mean more when personalized with tone, inflection, and direction
Under the guise of this contemplation is an expression
of emotion concerning
Jennifer Anne Marie, whose loveliness of sould
has surely captured me
Every thought that I've expressed through note
has meant so very much but
Not as much as the day I hold you in my arms,
look into your eyes, and pass these words through breath
