Poems by Michael J. Malone

As the stars overtake the night sky
I drift off to a dreamlike slumber
Awakened not understanding why
Why my heart is beating in wonder

My eyes span the room, listening
Hearing nothing, I look for the cause
Looking dazed and not understanding
The truth is this defies natural laws

For what could posses my inner being
To the point now without any return
Is it an angel’s face I'm now seeing
Audible voice so sweetly to discern

The vision intense so indescribable
Circles around capturing my thoughts
It's beautiful and completely undeniable
And no this is not just afterthoughts

Slipping back now to dreamlike slumber
And regretting not sleeps interruption
I'm grateful you've captured my number
Visions of you, I welcome this disruption

The simple truth is this
It is within your love I find bliss
As each day passes by
I grow in thankfulness you are mine

You spoil me beyond compare
Forever more I will declare
For another year has gone by
Realizing time flies

Life changing is this year
I am sure there will be a tear
Comfort I will find in your embrace
As our boy grows up with grace

Happy Anniversary my dear
Because of you this change is easier to bear
For the truth besides
Is I love you by my side

With the dawn of each new day
I realize this more and more
There is something I need to say
That I never really could before

Not because I didn't want too
Just chose to keep it inside
So now I confess to you
For with you I now confide

I count each second precious
As if it were my very last
Just to be in your beautiful presence
Even though the time goes very fast

I could go on about your smile
But there is more to you I know
There's also beauty in your eyes
You make the world around you glow

Even on the darkest day
When storms are at their worst
Just the very sight of you-drives the storm clouds away
So, with my sadness completely reversed

There's calmness in your voice
That puts my soul at rest
With your laughter bringing me joy
And your happiness leaving me refreshed

So, there is no other way to say
With all my heart I have to confess
This message I'm going to convey
Everything about you I seem to obsess
