Tomorrow, the 25th, is my wife’s birthday. I won’t be around much. She won’t be getting any diamond rings as we’ve already celebrated this month by us both now having iPhones. But I will give her this, right now, from my heart:
Craving
I crave your eyes.
I crave their deep souls.
I crave your lips.
I crave the honeysuckle kisses.
I crave your life.
I crave its ruby existence.
I crave your mind.
I crave our silly conversations.
I crave your smile.
I crave the happy warmth.
I crave your world.
I crave to exist in its golden heaven.
I crave everything about you.
But mostly I crave the simple love you give me in all moments throughout our prior and future lives within a universe that would be only dark if your eyes, lips, life, mind, smile, and world did not exist in it for all of eternity with me by your side wishing for you the most happiness that could ever be accomplished in this gloriously shining life that is much more glorious because you do love me and I know you do and I love you and always will because you are the light in my eyes, the craving of my soul, and the true meaning of my existence and I will forever be thankful to your mother for one thing: your birth.
(Poem has also been reposted at my poetry and fiction site.)

Happy happy birthday! iPhones are better than diamonds anyway. Diamonds are not seen as a commodity. At least the iPhone will be an antique someday.

I am reminded of Jack Nicholson in ‘As Good As it Gets’ in that you make me want to be a better blogger.
Seriously - the level of passion and life you bring on here is a vitamin pill for the soul.
Happy birthday!!

Wow. Lots of great comments. Again, my bride says thank you.
One day I’ll talk her into saying it herself.
And, wow, Ken. Great compliment! Don’t know if it’s deserved, but thanks much!

Wow, do you have a brother? Just kidding! I have a husband, but he has never said or written anything like this. You both must be very special people.

@Margaret: Cool! Hope you had a great day.
But you know, you stopped the sentence without the dot-dot-dot. Gotta have the dot-dot-dot. Dot-dot-dot is a great replacement for “something I’m not going to tell you so you can make your own inferences.” Leaving it out only ends the sentence prematurely. It doesn’t create the comical situation in the brain.
Actually, it does, but I just feel like picking on you.
