Partner In Crime

Long deserving 
Of overdue credit
In these passages of rhyme
She's never tried to change me
Alter or rearrange me
In so many ways she's saved me...
                                                       
My silent partner in crime...
​​​ 
She puts up with my madness 
Loves me when I'm sane 
I was a wilted flower
Forgotten on the window pane
Somehow she has the power
To lift my face from dour
I'm grateful for every hour 
That her sweetness 
Compliments my sour...

            
I'm the desert, she's the rain... 

She's uniquely crafted carpentry 
When she could be flat pack 
Like most the rest
I'm glad she's not normal 
'Cos normality 
I do detest
She keeps my blood flowing 
By never guessing 
Always knowing... 

She's the beating in my chest...

A strong willed woman
Always glowing
Never dull
With kindness
Always showing
Deserving of a crown
For putting up with me
A halo she adorns
Certainly no pushover...

She's the rose, to my thorns... 

She's the mother to my children 
A counterbalance 
To my unstable life
I'm one lucky man
To have her as my wife
I was lost in the darkness 
Until she emitted light...

I am death, she is life...

Chemical kisses 
Watching the sunrise 
Convinced me she's the one
Now thirteen years have passed 
Who says good things
Aren't meant to last?
From then on I was blessed 
Always a welcome invader 
In my consciousness
Privileged to have her at my side
She is better than the best...

I am the electric, she's the kool aid acid test...  

As If perfection had a personality 
She makes my dreams reality 
I know I'm not alone
A masterpiece of speciality 
Carved out of
Flesh
Skin
And bone...

I will be forever grateful...
That she made her heart my home...
