For Patty, on our 4th wedding anniversary--January 15, 2006
Ideal realities elude one so decidedly common
What makes this man deserving, above others, of this
One fleeting – no, enduring -- moment with your generous spirit
Under cloaks of uncertainty you have fought for us
Leader, lover, confidante, most special friend
Dying once, it would seem, yet too defiant to leave
I would take it all, know this, were it within my power
Eros, utopia, a glimpse of perfection, you, my love
Forever woven in fibers of a soul, a reason to breathe
Open to you always, thirsty for dew of your breath
Reunion my daily quest as I await your soft footfalls
You, my present and my legacy, my hope, my desire
One person, yet so many, so many mysteries
United, committed, together, as one
