Walking With Audrey

I will walk with you....

You who shared my book, then saw love start

With a dialogue between my head and my heart

The Poet shouted in my ear to sieze the day

Your mind, body, and spirit carried me away


I will walk with you....

Through the park and bus stop, whispering JCK's

Listening to talking frogs and singing Cranberries

Making for you a garland of letters and poems

Yuri inspiring me to dream impossible dreams


I will walk with you....

My Princess, my Cinderella at the castle

Mo Choill, my Lara, my burning candle

A Prince am I, your endearing qualities to sing

To be your hero, the wind beneath your wings


I will walk with you....

Behind us footsteps, a warm trail of love leaving

Ahead a vision, a path of joy and passionate living

Introspective, heading East into eternity with a woman

Whose image and spirit long ago spilled from my pen


I will walk with you....

Into a shimmering world of beauty and splendor

Moving, breathing, feeling, and living together

Wild wind in our hair, torrid heat the sun sends

Choosing to linger in an August that never ends


I will walk with you....

Into a special communion of hot sensual pleasure

Embracing, kissing, and loving the woman I treasure

Ecstacy harnessed, falling asleep with you in my arms

A country cupboard full of intimacy and charms


I will walk with you....

Hand in hand, two halves becoming whole

Skin to skin, heart to heart, soul to soul

Step by step, down the golden path we wander

A road, more magical than Oz, to many a wonder


I will walk with you....

Day after day, alongside my pretty flamingo

Climbing the mountain of life so we may grow

With friends Ayn, Nathaniel, Stephen, and Emmet

You and I have learned so much since we met


I will walk with you....

Into the teeth of the fiercest storms Fate can send

My irreplaceable Soul Mate I've sworn to defend

We will purchase joy with all that pain can give

And cheat Death with nothing but a rage to live


I will walk with you....

T'il a million Tuesdays have gone away

Long after we have been touched by gray

We have been cast as a modern Romeo and Juliet

The best years of our lives are ahead of us yet
