What She Means To Me, poetry by Leon Gregori

Updated: Jul 5, 2023

I wrote this piece back in June 2020, just days after Jenn absolutely blew me away with a weekend birthday getaway. An all expenses paid amazing 5 star hotel getaway in Montreal... terrific food and of course the odd drink or twenty!


It was a special surprise and I will never forget it. I can only hope my words can do justice for the love I feel, for the love we have and the love we will have forever more! Sorry for the sap but I can't help it!


"The only thing we never get enough of is love; and the only thing we never give enough of is love."

—Henry Miller"

"There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved."

—George Sand



 

What She Means To Me


Tell my brain

No refrain

Can’t strain

Our domain

This is my aim

No need to explain

She brings me fame

Bells and whistles

Sparkling and glistening

Always listening

My sign

My symbol

She even has crystals

Sprinkles and sparkles

Her berth is my castle


Energy

Synergy

The things she does to me

For me

With me

She holds me tight

Treats me right

Every day

And long through the night

The shadows are cast

Far far away

We are taken

Now is our play

Here to stay

This is our way

Mainstay

Each way

Anyway

Both ways

Today


For many years

And years beyond

Will speak these words

Our darkness gone

Only light

Shall shine here now

Erase these creases

No furrowed brow

Our essence is phenomenal

Partners complete

There is no past

That can compete
