You come to me
so sweetly now

only the past
knows our distance

without dreams
we would have nothing.
Bennett Feb 16
Dreamlike
who will believe
it is over so quickly

I must be a madman -
because only one could invent such fiction

remember the bright sunny walks
the constant attention
and touching

it may have all taken place
one afternoon
or maybe not at all

I want so bad for you to believe me,
a card, a letter, a movie stub,
will that satisfy you?

perhaps there is no convincing you -
but, please look into my eyes
when I tell you
it was worth the journey
however short

I have come away
with more gifts of love
than I can carry.
Bennett Feb 16
Fall of my years,
come sweetly
come easily

take my hand
and walk with me
into the twilight

promise to be gentle.
Bennett Feb 16
I sense endless beauty
before me
within my reach

it is everywhere.
Bennett Feb 16
You live
in a world
without time,
your naked body
curled beside mine,

stirring to the morning light
with your even breathing,
your eyes open
and I gently tell you
of my love,
which words
could never express.
Bennett Feb 16
The years
have washed away your face
and your touch
but,
they will never take from me
your lasting gift
of love.
Bennett Feb 15
They have been waiting
since knee high
for romance -
even before they knew
what it was about

waiting to be cared for
and attended to,
danced and romanced
moonlit evenings year long,
little surprise presents
flowers sprinkled with jewelry

it never ends
whispers of love
always so gently

it is all so beautiful
truly a wonderful notion

I just can't bring myself to spoil it.
