   From this guy’s perspective:
   my fingers in the water,
   playfully combing, stirring waves
   with anticipation, excitement and eager pure intentions
   looking for angelfish
   feeling instead the suction of emptiness, vapid expectations
   violently pulled by the vortex swirl of impossible magazine fairytale vs. real-life levels of happiness and success
   losing my fingertips and just barely keeping my vessel on keel
   knowing that, looking back on the enduring journey, my self esteem and course has always been true
   I’m sure I’ve violated multiple poetic laws in the above’s construction.
   I still love my wife but it was a long road in finding her. Our adventure together continues.

   The above was not formatted properly in posting but you get the idea with the “+” being each intended line break.
   EDITOR: I fixed the formatting, I think. If I got it wrong, let me know and I will try to fix it 🙂

   I would say most women could realte to that. I know if your step-sisters poem were literal, I would have had stumps for hands by the time I met my hubby! 😉
   Great poem.

   I think that is how she is feeling about now, which is so unbelievable to me. She is such an amazing young woman; Kind, funny, talented, smart, and accommplished.
   The men in New York must just be idiots, because she is quite a catch.
