Fear does not live here;
on the other side of fear,
fear is not welcomed.

I don’t want to compliment you,
I want to complement you.
I adore your antics.
I adore your smile.
I adore your hair.
I adore your laughter.
I adore your everything.
I adore you.
When I look at you the way a woman wants to be looked at,
I want you to know that…
I see your adorableness.
I see your sweetness.
I see your happiness.
I see your lovableness.
I see your eloquence.
I see every bit of you.
I adore you…
there are many words in the world,
yet – I cannot select just one to compliment you.
I adore you…
there are many men in the world,
yet – I want to be the one to complement you.
l adore you…
this more than an invitation to a dinner engagement.
I adore you…
this is the courtship that leads to a courtyard engagement.
When I look at you the way a woman wants to be looked at,
I want you to know that…
I’m not thinking about complimenting you,
I’m thinking about complementing you.
This is… “I will love you always.”
This is… something special.
This is… forever and a day – hand in hand.
This is… “none of your flaws can make me love you less.”
This is… seeing the smile in your beautiful eyes.
This is… you’re me and I’m you.
When I look into your eyes,
The Port of my Dreams remains afloat;
when I look at you the way a woman likes to be looked at,
I see the love that I’ve hidden being waded ashore.
When I look into your eyes,
this hopeless romantic regains hope;
when I look at you the way a woman likes to be looked at,
I see all that I’ve been missing – I see everything that I adore.

Her eyes were so beautiful,
even her blank stare was exquisite.
Her eyes were so beautiful,
they became my favorite place to visit.
Her eyes were so beautiful,
men were wooed to wanderlust by her wink.
Her eyes were so beautiful,
she bequeathed a rosette in every wink.
Her eyes were so beautiful,
her dry eyes became pink.
Her eyes were so beautiful,
she could no longer cry.
Her eyes were so beautiful,
they were infiltrated by the jealous pinkeye.

inHappy thanksgiving…
eating until you throw up
is not justified.
But the fat boy in
me says go for it – you can
do it – eat all day.
First plate, second plate,
a little dessert and a
few haiku will do.
P.S. “Who made the
potato salad?!” will start
a family feud 😂
Hope you enjoyed your
thanksgiving with family
and friends today – peace.

Her cornbread – the best;
she gave me the recipe
