Loving - Expressions of the Heart

"The poetry in this chapbook is NOT meant to be read from beginning to end at one time but is meant to be discovered one poem at a time. Percy captured his feelings and observations of love over a period of years. The poems are not connected to each other. They are organized to take the reader on an emotional journey through experiences and expressions of love.

PLEASE give each poem time to touch you." 

Percy Kleinops, Poet, Author, Artist

May Your Marriage (relationship) be Strong - Painted by Percy Kleinops

May Your Marriage Be Strong 

May your marriage be as two strong trees 

Growing next to each other 

Enduring the winds and storms together 

Warmth of the sun and gentle rains feeding you 

May branches reach out in support 

Touch of the other always near 

Giving shade to your roots to grow old 

Never to smother the other 

May your beauty of growing side by side 

Give pleasure to those you come near 

Reminding all that marriage empowers both 

To live a life stronger than one 

Awake with Love 

You are in the morning breeze, 

The golden glow that lights the trees. 

As I awake to find, 

Your heart in time with mine. 

You are ever on my mind 

I see you in the birds that fly 

I see you in clouds up high 

When the sun sets and rises 

In places that surprises 

You are in the quiet night 

The silver of the full moon's bright

Where beauty is, you will be 

With your love for me
