Poetry from 2007, Painting of Tami Toops From 1991


                                      Chris Bakunas, Watercolor of Tami Toops, 1991

I'm feeling every minute of my life tonight
 
The happiness of every smile that's graced my face
 
Is reflected in the glass of my bedroom window
 
As I gaze out in hopes of rain
 
I'm tasting the lips of every lovers kiss
 
That I've ever known
 
I'm hearing the promises of undying devotion

I'm wrapped in the arms 

Of every hug forever
 
All the I'll-never-leave-you's are ringing in my ears
 
The warm embraces, the gentle caresses
 
Cascading over me like an entire ocean over Niagra Falls
 
Every hand in mine, all the echoes of laughter 

Bouncing off the walls
 
The sparkling eyes that promised a love forever
 
The quiet exhilaration in the joy of knowing
 
That somewhere, somebody, someone 

Promised to never
 
Leave, forget, stop, neglect 

Give up, quit, abandon, reject

I'm feeling all the love ever shared with me
 
I'm feeling all
