Your poems are so every day, yet so raw and full of emotion. Lovely.

Brilliant Sherman…love the double t’s, the teeth and tongue. Love the disheveled splendor of the marital bed. Thank you

The preciousness of lasting love. In the great good fortune of having it myself, I am so happy for you and Diane.

But so this tenderness could bloom, much cultivation came first. Men look for the external ideal rather than the glimmer of potential, partnership, and willingness to endure so the Other may be elevated. Your love poems reflect the cultivated investment poured heart and soul into the better expression of love

You are both so generous, they are so intimate. I too, a stranger!, am nourished by this love you share. Such a gift. Such a gift!

The poems are beautiful . They make my heart sing. As a widow I’m envious you both have each other.

Constant Heart reminded me of another pithy love poem for Diane you posted several weeks ago comparing her love to an "eclipse"!

Not too many marriages last three decades these days. Unless I misread the poems, it seems you are still very much in love. Here's to the next three decades!

These are among the most tender love poems to a long marriage that I have read. The quiet in the car, and the closeness that it engenders, feels like a hug.
