Date Posted: 16:32:47 01/16/08 Wed You can find his work and mine here....http://www.witchvox.com/poetry/po_poetlist.html?id=310130 A tribute to my late husband, Brian. His birthday is coming up June 30th, and July 3 it will be a year since his passing. These poems were written by him, for me and were at one time published. This is my special tribute to the love of my life, Robert Brian Newbill. These are all the things that people should remember about their greatest love...Their Soul-mate... For Theresa... I will Remember I will remember The first call I received A voice so soft and beautiful Almost too much to be believed I will remember The day that I proposed And how she reassured me We will never stand opposed I will remember How lonely I had been Until we found the courage To let each other in I will remember our fist kiss I will remember our first time And Angel I will never forget The day you let me call you mine. Poem # 2 A poem about a car and its final and most important mission... For Theresa Transportation This machine is far from perfect Much like its operator There are flaws and imperfections But it will take me to her I'll clean it up as best I can And hope my best is good enough The body isn't what it used to be But the heart and soul are tough It has been scuffed and dented Very much like its driver But yet it still survives Getting older.but still alive And even if it's not as pretty As perhaps it used to be It is still quite strong and powerful And will help bring me to thee. Poem # 3 To the fortunate ones among us...Along comes the one...The one who was meant for you. And you know you were meant for them... For Theresa... I Know I know my love is out there She speaks to me each night I know She is the one I know that this is right. A Midnight Angel She was sent from above She was sent to me So I would again know love. In my darkest hours I hid inside the night Until She arrived And brought forth to me her light. She's the sun and the moon And the crystal clear streams She's the Angel Of my dreams. Poem # 4 Dedicated to the one who holds me together...until we are together. For Theresa... No More Goodbyes I miss the sweet sound of her voice I miss the beauty in her eyes I need to hold her close to me Dear One, no more goodbyes She's beautiful like an Angel An Angel flying high And the love that I do feel for her Is the kind that never dies And the only wish I have tonight Save to have her by my side Is simply this. No more goodbyes. Poem # 5 A simple message of caring and the desire to protect someone you love. For Theresa... All Our Tomorrows For all of our tomorrows She will never need know fear Because each and every single day I will keep her safe and near For all of our tomorrows No matter how rough the ride I will never leave My Empress I will stand right by her side For all of our tomorrows From the moment the day begins I will hold my Dear One close to me Through the nights that never end For all of our tomorrows She is the one I will protect She is my one and only love The one the Angels did select. Poem # 6 Leaving a place of safety is difficult...Arriving in a place of uncertainty is scary...But when the reward is worth the risk...You go for it. For Theresa... Departure It was 3:00 A.M. I had packed up the car the day before I packed the things I thought I would need And the things I knew I could not survive without Now it was time to leave We had just celebrated the one year anniversary of our first call The gas tank was full. I had bought new tires, insurance and registration are in order Time to go. I put a few sandwiches and sodas into a cooler. I kept my road atlas out even though I didn't need it. "I took her to be a challenge and went into the night." A line from a song that always moved me. I had made this trip before. The difference now was I was running toward something. Not running away. Every mile that ticked off of that trip counter meant I was one mile closer to her. I saw nothing ahead of me but a long stretch of pavement And the pictures of her that were taped to my dashboard. I listened to my cd's as I watched the mile marker numbers progress I tried to keep my eye on the speedometer Couldn't get to her fast enough. Every song I played reminded me of her. "Wheels go round and round you're on my mind". I tried to stay away from the mushy stuff though It's hard enough to concentrate when all you want is to be there. I had played out this scenario in my mind For far too long Now it was time for action Now I had to get in the car, turn the key, go. And never look back. Poem # 7 A brief comment on knowing when to risk it all for the ones you love... For Theresa and Margaret... The Decision An escape was hardly possible. The gates were massive and strong. She wanted to fly free, to run to me And I had to rescue her. I needed her in the day. I needed her at night. I needed her outside those walls Free to explore the challenges And the beauty of our love. For far too much and far too long Her sweet beautiful daughter Was also a prisoner on that island In that off-shore prison. So I took my ship and crashed it Into the gates of those high walls. I held them open with all my will As the guards tried to close them, But my Angels flew towards the opening The one that I had made for them. I knew they could not pass my ship And yet still escape So I set to destroy it. Destroy it so they could be free The cannons fired inward My ship broke in two But I did what was right And My Angels both got through. I had made my decision My Angels carried me away And our love soared. Poem # 8 It is only those who have never known love, who think they do not need it...And it is only the foolish among us, who think they can survive without it. For Theresa... Without Her Without her, there is no me Without her, I cannot be Without her, I cannot feel Without her, life can't be real She is so very beautiful Her voice is like a song Her laugh is like the chorus Without it I can't go on She is my Angel of the morning The afternoon and night Whenever I talk to her I know that everything's alright Without her to say she loves me I know I would not survive It's the beauty of her heart and soul That helps keep me alive She taught me how to love again She brought me back to life I need her with me always I need her as my wife. Poem # 9 A poem about how two people who had once been hurt and lost, had found and learned to love again... For Theresa... Fallen Angel Beautiful but frightened I saw her from afar I knew that I did love her She was the one I hoped to find My sweet precious Angel The one who truly knew my mind And knew my heart as well And spoke to it so true Thus and so, I can't forget And I will always cherish you She was afraid So was I We'd both been hurt before Then we both decided It need not be so anymore We let each other in Absolved ourselves of sin We picked each other up So we could begin again My sweet Fallen Angel She knew just what to do And I knew as well Because I had fallen too. We picked each other up We showed ourselves the way Two fallen angels Who got up and flew away. Together. Poem # 10 All things in life that are of value have to be battled for...and when you know the cause is just...you fight the good fight all the more... For you, Theresa... The Most Sacred Of Rooms The most sacred of rooms Are at the end of the longest halls The most priceless of treasures Are behind the strongest walls She who is my Love Was one such priceless treasure Her walls were very high at first Too high for me to measure But I climbed those walls of hers A little bit each day Hoping with all my heart That she wouldn't get away My first glimpse of her.so beautiful Like an Angel from above It was then I knew I'd found her She who is my love. Poem # 11 Most of us build castles to protect ourselves...But sometimes you have to lower the drawbridge and open the gates...And trust. For you My Sweet Theresa. Castles I will be your castle Your fortress and your home And when you are within my arms You will never be alone. I will protect you from all harm You will never need know fear And should you ever become lost You will know that I am near. Each morning when the sun appears And you begin your day I will kiss your lips to let you know I am with you all the way. Each evening when the sun goes down And I hold you close to me We will know that the love we share Was truly meant to be. Poem # 12 Something for my Angel...She who helped me through them before and always...I love you! My Sweet Theresa... Thunderstorms Outside late last night there was a big one. That was cool though, I have never been afraid of them. Even when I was a kid, I love the sounds! The rain. The thunder. Almost like I could ride away on them. I loved them as a child would, when I knew I was safe, protected. Back then I got off on imagining space aliens attacking! Now I only enjoy them as long as the power doesn't go out. Did I lose something along the way? Now when I hear them. I worry and I wish. I worry that the electricity will fail and all lines of communication to my Angel will be cut. She saved me with her love and helped me tap into my inner strength. Everything would be so different if only we were watching this storm together. And I wish that I could be with her, holding her. And that we could watch and listen together, In each other's arms. And ride away on the sounds as one. Poem # 13 Love is like most things in life...When you don't seek...You find. The House And The Room It was dark and it was late Exhausted but I can't sleep A shot of brandy to numb the cold I lit a cigarette and went out The night is cool and clear I look up and I can see Orion, The Hunter When I come back it will have moved But it will still be there I embrace the darkness even as I fear it What secrets might it contain that have yet to reveal themselves What dangers lurk in the shadows of which I am not aware Walk with me I say aloud Even though no one is there The street, both strange and familiar The house, old but elegant Confusion now A thousand times I've passed this way Never saw this house before Or had I For reasons I can't now explain I felt compelled to approach the door My God it was she who answered The woman of mystery I had dreamt of before Now stood before me in the shadow of the open door Was this another dream I didn't know, I didn't care She said come in as she took my hand Come in out of the darkness She led me to a room Candles lit the night Shimmering lace curtains draped everywhere Reflected the softness of the light She was so very beautiful This Angel I named Midnight She said this is your room now You can stay here As long as you like I said I would If she would stay too. She smiled and said I'll stay here with you. And then she put out the lights. And as she held me close to her I knew that I was safe I no longer felt alone I knew that I was home. Poem # 14 This is a testimony to two "damaged" people who put each other back together again...Thank you, Theresa...I LOVE YOU!!! Damaged Goods By Robert Brian Newbill A beautiful crystal vase, Lay broken on the floor, Damaged beyond repair, Lost forevermore. The woman to whom it belonged Was prepared to throw it away, When a man arrived to tell her There was another way I can rebuild this if you will permit me... He glued it back together With gentle hands, and careful labor Undertaken, not of lust But of love and true devotion And when he gave it back to her... It was still far from perfect There were some cracks and flaws And still a few missing pieces But she liked it even better Than it had ever been before... She knew it was a labor of love. Poem # 15 Dedicated to my only love...My sweet beautiful Theresa... Beauty Beauty is that thing That comes from within a dream Beauty is that which shows the truth A truth before unseen Beauty is a wish To know the nature of I willed Beauty is what I see in you A wish from my heart has been fulfilled Beauty is a life with you A life I thought I'd never know Beauty is any journey we take Wherever it might go Beauty is to truly care Beauty is the love we share Beauty is a wish come true Beauty is what I see in you. --Robert Brian Newbill Poem # 16 An expression of love to the one I call My Angel... A True Goodnight I watched the tranquil slumber Of she who is my love All the ghosts from my past have vanished All thoughts of blame or failure Are very distant from me now I turned off the light And raised the window So careful not to awaken her Gently I slipped into bed By the moonlight I could see her As if for the very first time I reached to softly wake her She already knew that I was there We held each other, oh so tight. We became as one It felt so right As need paralleled desire In the immense complexity of love. poem #17 I Love You, Theresa I love your name I love your voice I love your laugh I love your sense of humor I love the way you write I love the poems you write for me I love the beauty that's in your heart I love the depth of feeling in your soul I love your beauty both inside and out You are the one I cannot live without I love the way you make me feel Like nothing can ever hurt me I love that I can be myself And you will still accept me I love the way you make me smile And believe there's nothing I can't do You're what I've wanted all my life My Angel...I love you.
