Sheri Owen

You are so far away
But always on my mind
Have such compassion for others
Things you do are kind

Sometimes its really hard
Finding the words to say
Love you more than anything
Love is such a cliche

What you see in me
Cant really work it out
Opposites attract they say
What love is all about.

I'm so straight and conservative
You wouldn't guess I'm gay
You're a German wild child
Now living in the USA

Cover you skin in art
Canvas for your imagination
They become part of you
More than just a decoration

Needles draw a little blood
Ink filters through the pain
But really in the end
Its beauty that you gain

But please don't ever change
Friends and so much more
The apple of my eye
Love you to the core

NOTE
Sheri's my girlfriend she has cancer but will never talk about it. She doesn't want anyone to feel sorry for her.
I just cant help but feel. Shes really wonderful

    This is so sweet and very touching. The rhyme scheme is great, the images fantastic and the flow is smooth, but it is the pure love and passion that really stand out in every bit of this poem. That's the great thing about love-it knows no race, color, gender, background, nationality-it just is and that is all it needs to be. This is beautiful.

    Peace, poetry & Power,

    P.S.-I can also relate to the cancer aspect you mention in your note. My mom's cancer has just come back for the 3rd time. My best to Sheri, it's rough and I admire all who must go through it.

    This is a very touching and loving poem you have written, the feelings that you feel for this person is strong and can be felt in every word you have penned. I am sorry to hear of her horrible ordeal that she is going through but I know she has found a caring and wonderful person in you.
