NEED

This poem was a gift from my husband, and I'm sharing it with you as a present for this February 14th, when we celebrate Valentine's Day.

Happy Valentine's Day!

NEED

That loving isn't a need
That's a huge lie
Because your love is my lyre
My greatest celebration
What's necessary is your kindness
Your purity, your presence,
And that is love, it's the essence
Of your great genius.

I can tell you again
That you are my religion
My poetry, my song
My reason for living
I need to be in sync
With your air, with your breath
Because you are the nourishment,
The reason for my existence.
