Was listening to Jefferson Starship Miracles. You know the part where they sing “If only you believed in miracles, so would I?” That’s my lyric to you. I’m here, heart open, bouquet of purple Irises, your favorite color, offering you all my love and more. If only you believed in miracles. If only you believed in the epic love of a lifetime, yours and mine, ever true, always new, only for you, ever glorious, me leaving never. The love poets write about, singers sing about, movies film about, people dream about. If only you believed… like I do.

Bob Boyd

Like a star shining in the sky,
my heart lights up when I see you.

Like the moon when it’s full,
my mind is filled with thoughts of you

Like the earth cannot stop spinning,
I cannot stop loving you.

Bob Boyd

This may sound surprising. I had no one in mind when I wrote this. And though I’m like a monk, I can write romantic poetry.
