Lise…— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
The thought of her
is becoming magic.
Her eyes and skin
and spirit begin to pull at me
with an anticipation
born of love.
Smiles now burn at the thought of her
and the feeling inside
when she looks at me
is such a deep echo.

What can I capture of you?
The visions I call here before me
defy words to capture them whole.
Brown eyes and a strength like Gibralter,
a heart of compassion, thru and thru.
I want to say something of loving you
but my feelings are all that come through.
These dark eyes and the flickering candles
and the warmth of your skin melting on mine.
The frost of your Gallic composure
and the ache of your mother’s heart showing through.
But I cannot capture you here clearly;
that your strength and compassion are one,
and that the woman who now bends to caress me
is also my friend with a will of iron.

Hey Dennis speaking,
I've been looking at that little girl on my chest of
drawers. So cute, so submissive, so sweet. You, who have been used
to such strong women. You've got your rock of Gibralter down south,
keeping everything together for you, and then, there's me and the
others, all pretty strong women I suspect. How are you going to
deal with all that unassertivness? What? What did you say? You're
going to try hard? A new challenge? An enlightening experience? I
can see your smile from here.
This is all on my mind because I'm going to miss you so. My
feelings have evolved without even consulting me. So fast. Nobody
said, "Lise, we're contemplating going to the next step up. What do
you think?". No-o-o-o. It all happened behind my back. When I
wasn't looking. And I thought I had everything under control. The
girl needed to be humbled. But then so did you. The man with the
perfect life. Thank God I came along! You needed me too, sweetie.
And now here it is. I love you with all my heart. Can't go
back on that. Put that feather in your cap, Gallagher. Another one
bites the dust.
Not so, not so. I'm going to be just fine. But you are
going to leave me with such a big void in my life. I mean, what do
I do when I want to touch you, kiss you, love you. How do I do all
of that long distance? Who is going to kiss my breasts the way you
do, who is going to kiss my neck, touch me, make love to me the way
you do? Ask your computers.
It's not only that. You have been a great friend. You have
done so much for me these past few months. You have helped me
financially, emotionally, you have loved me no matter what.
Truthfully, you have surprised me. The way it looks is that I take
and you give. Do I give you anything? Can you let me? I love you,
sweetie. And I want you. So get your beautiful ass over here and
let me make you feel good.
Lise
