I love thee, as I love the calm Of sweet, star-lighted hours! I love thee, as I love the balm Of early jes'mine flow'rs. I love thee, as I love the last Rich smile of fading day, Which lingereth, like the look we cast, On rapture pass'd away. I love thee as I love the tone Of some soft-breathing flute Whose soul is wak'd for me alone, When all beside is mute. I love thee as I love the first Young violet of the spring; Or the pale lily, April-nurs'd, To scented blossoming. I love thee, as I love the

If I could hold you close When the dark abides, And your eyes behold At the break of light, I'd write music by the moon And songs by the sun, And their melody and tune Would ring you're the one. Sandra Holder

My heart cries, but you don’t hear it. My heart breaks, but you don’t feel it. My body longs to feel your arms around me. My lips long to feel your kisses. My ears long to hear you say I love you. My eyes long to see your smile and eyes twinkle. My life longs to have you in it. My world longs to have you make it complete. My body longs to feel you lie next to it. My love longs to have you return it. My heart will cry, my heart will break. My body will go

When I think of you, so many emotions run through my mind. When I don't hear from you, so many concerns tear at me. Like a mighty waterfall, fierce and thundering a deafening roar - spray enveloping everything around. So am I surrounded by you. Like a babbling brook, slipping quietly over pebbles gently flowing, gurgling. Such is the peace you give to me. Like a gentle breeze, cooling a heated brow caressing fevered skin. So you calm my heart. Like a summer sky, glimmering sun warming the earth shining its light around. So you warm my soul. Like

I went through life, meandering, wondering... Where life's road is taking me. One day up, the other, down, searching... Knowing not my destiny. All these years you were there; committed... As was I. Firm boundaries in place. Then one day, these fences fell, clattering... Leaving us both free to choose. Now we have choices, yes we do - unlimited... A freedom until now not known. No demands, no expectations; hesitating... Could we meet our separate needs? You are most wonderful by far, more exceptional... Than anyone I've ever met. You give, you love, you share - unique... Could this
Continue reading You And I
When the lamplight of the Sun First touched the dark And rolling, sighing, seeking wave First kissed the land When the first drop of rain Met the very first leaf That moment God chose you And intended you for me When that tiny living globe Formed in the dark And with the rhythm of time and space First beat your heart When God knit your limbs And gave breath to your lungs Your days he ordained And intended you for me All praise to our God Who created all things Who gave us life and gave us life again

I Asked… “Pray dear, do you love me?� They say there are more stars above Than grains of sand undreamed of. You said… “More than all above I love thee!� When feeling weak and vulnerable In need from you a lift Then words like these Are a gracious gift! When alone and in need of cheer Asking if you really care Then words like these With me you share. When missing you until I ache So much longing for you Then words like these Confirm your love is true. When you are there and I am here Separate, yet close

I never knew Love could feel this way The kind of Love that makes you always want to stay I never knew what a wonderful feeling I could get Just by Loving you and having you Love me back To have you do things for me And me to you And it be such a simple thing to do I never knew what it was like to have anyone Lay down beside me Just to hold me, feel me, Love me Until I met you How it felt to be wanted just for me I grew used to being whatever

It is next to impossible To say why, exactly. So much is admirable. Still, things change. Behavior changes. Time goes on. Nevertheless, Character. It does not change. Who he is. What he is. How he is. Love is immeasurable. Its reason not definable. Love? Definitely! Just because. Erika Jackson

City lights begin to fade as we drive toward the suburbs. Music flows out of the speakers as we try to think of something to say. Cool October night sky lies overhead as we travel along the interstate. I sit in the passenger seat watching you drive and smoke, wishing we can keep driving until the road ends. Sitting in my driveway still making small talk. I wonder if you'll kiss first, You sit there looking at me trying to think of what to do. Something goes off in my head. I lean over and kiss you. Chemistry, sparks

Nature’s carpet beneath her feet. A granite boulder her royal seat. Pine needles soft between delicate toes. Crisp pine air fills the nose. Sunlight spills upon porcelain skin, While she is unclothed in the forest glen. Merced River water through the bladder spout, Trickles and refreshes, all about. Protection of boulders and thick pine trees, Guarantees only one person sees. He smiles at his forest nymph, As she giggles nakedly in idle time spent. Knowing that private moments there Are only for them to share, Within the majestic Moraine Dome, Their temporary Yosemite home. The birds sing, the Merced

The Magician's slight of hand Shifts the hourglass sand. Setting into motion The sea's intoxicating potion. Clouds fade without a trace. Moonlight spills upon her face. Regimental pelicans in flight Shadow and shine in the moonlight. Tiny prism quartz command Thoughts of treasure in the sand. Stars brazenly appear Reflecting in a seawater mirror. Caressing ocean breezes Deliberately tickles and teases. Salt mist kisses her skin, Releasing childlike joy within. Soul and nature joined in fusion, The Magician's ultimate illusion. Theresa Hasegawa

Warm smile...sweet kisses...your embrace Fingers upon my skin did trace... Little circles, swirls and letters too. Your cryptic thoughts beyond my view. What sweet feelings do your words convey? Delightful play to begin my day. You tease, “Keep guessing, my dearest one. Our wondrous game has just begun.� Theresa Hasegawa

You come to me Without a dream? No vision of What to do with me! No clear idea Of what you want from me. I bring my plans They do not fit Unveil my dreams They’re too much for you My fantasies You can’t endure. This party then Is a grounded ship And a broken wing Knees out of joint The pain is such I can’t endure. Tamunosaki Alalibo

Thank you for a season of love Of joy and happiness from above Of peace and laughter in my soul And brought to me by your tenderness Thank you for a season of peace Of calmness, quietness and ease That takes away my tears and fears All brought to me by your gentleness Thank you for a season of strength A foundation that can’t be rent An inner power that I can send O, brought to me by your yieldedness Thank you for a season of hope Of faith, that matches all my dreams And confidence where once I groped

Did you know? Your light shines so bright It lights the way. It takes away the shadows And opens the path. Can you see? The love you spread? The smiles you bring? The gentle caring touch We all love so much? Does your heart guide you? I think as much You see joy and tears of happiness flow down your face If sorrow appears, rivers of heartaches Stream down your cheeks Did you know? Your light is shown for all to see. This light is love that is given and received. Your love is welcomed by waiting arms Your

The night sky twinkles above The stars mirror the light in your eyes They fill with the look of love And with the bond that ties The eyes are the window to the soul Open to expose the heart's real need What is the payment of the toll? A spark that is planted like a seed This spark is a fire burning within A desire to expand the glow To some, it's simply a sin To others, the heart will know The eyes show the love you feel The heart is open wide My soul has to close the

How can I tell you about my love for you? The passions you have stirred in my spirit are more varied than the brilliant hues glowing as the evening sunsets … An internal inferno blazes in the deepest recesses of my soul … Kindled by the harmonious music of your precious voice falling upon my eager ears In You … I find myself … My true essence … You created a better me … a person I never knew existed … A person you set free by your empowering love … In You … I am complete … Whole, for

Weary and alone, adrift on the wine-dark sea Far from my home, a decade has passed from me Far gone in woe Far gone in weariness The gods up above They're flawed and they're furious Living on a prayer in a godless aquarium I shed all my possessions, it was too hard to carry them She comes to me now She come in disguises But I find her out I find her in time She's my Grey-Eyed Athene... She comes in the night and she whispers sweet strength to me She leads me to dine at the tables of kings

All is silent except Sam’s voice coming from the CD. We lay on my bed staring at the ceiling. I close my eyes, listening to you breathing. I open my eyes to find you now sleeping. A smile creeps on my face while I slip into a dream. I feel your arms wrap around me. This is how I want to be. Please stay with me until We can no longer see or breathe. All I need is for you to love me. I want to see what life can be Whether or not we cross the sea. The light

My beloved, Oh, my beloved…… I want to declare my love for you to the universe. Let me call your name to the sun and stars, Let me scream my devotion to the ocean's depths…… To earth's molten core. Why should any corner of the Cosmos be denied your radiance? Let the Galaxies themselves crave your divine embrace As do I……… Intoxicated with passion, I want to caress you like the wild sea's wave on the sandy shore. Endlessly…......, Endlessly…...... Pulling back some small grain of you to myself with each retreat Until our atoms dance intertwined……., the electric nuclear

I do not know Which I like best Your lips upon my neck? Your hand upon my breast? My arms around your waist And yours encircling mine? I only know That being with you is divine. Naked skin on naked skin When we are close together I want it to go on and on Forever and forever. The sweet taste of your tongue As it entices mine Intoxicates me more Than the strongest, honeyed wine.. You are always on my mind Through the day and too the night I feel your spirit touching me I shiver with delight.. If you

When you go away, On your trip around the world, Don’t forget to pack my heart with you. It won’t take much room, Folded up and slipped between the pages of your guidebook, Like some tattered piece of lace Or dried out rose petal, saved for remembrance… Be careful not to let it flutter to the ground Lost in some distant, ancient erg… Or be swept away by the wind On some far off and grassy plain… Instead, save it for a dark, and cold and lonely night When your soul is weary And you need to know That somewhere,

"Do you love me?" "Yes I do." "Why do you love me?" "Because you are you." "But why, I ask. What do you see?" "I see love in those eyes staring back at me. "Love for our children, family and friends. Love for our God That has no end. "I see your caring, laughter and compassion, Intelligence and humour, Strength and ambition. "Your beauty within And your beauty outside. Your sparkling eyes, Your smile and your pride." "If you stop loving me..." "That will never be so." "Do you believe that?" "I believe it, I know." "So when you

Ode to darling wife o’ mine Our loving team that’s blest divine, The best of partners I do opine, Our time together sweet. My life with blessing is replete, Our vows, though old, would I repeat, Gifts enough to fill a fleet, Could not her grace repay. Our love has grown from yesterday, She’s filled my dreams in every way, Side by side, in love we’ll stay, For now and ever more. Our love, just like great loves of yore, Holds countless treasures kept in store Treasures and pleasures unmeasured, for, We’ve stood through trial and fire. When one loves

You snap I growl You frustrate me I drive you nuts You call me Pyscho I call you worse You walk away I sit and cry This is not what you want This is not what I want You ask Why? I try to…… For better or worse Is the vow we promised I still love you and Know that you love me When the day is quiet And night is upon us Somehow the peace We lost during the light Rescues us and saves us And forgives us.

I hear you. Is that you? Your breath mingles with mine. I whisper your name – so soft. I feel my love for you Reaching out with invisible arms, To bring you even closer to me. Your warmth fans the flames Of my complete happiness. I taste the tear that escapes Mingled with the curve of my lips. And I know, as I flow into slumber, That you have completed me. And our love created rightness, Together - all because of you. Nikki Lally

As green grass withers and Time quickly fades away Does that mean we can’t have this moment, once in a day?

Absent from one another’s presence, I can confirm I saw your face 4 when we look within that mirror, all of it, everything fits into place As time is our friend, we can stand the duration of each twilight Learning about U through myself, didn’t U notice we’re the same body fluid, weight and height Every sunrise without U near, is felt like one under the knife U know as the saying goes, Where have U been “All my Life?� 4 what good is a dream, if it doesn’t come true Yes, how beautiful could I be without any

Parts of Love So much fun are the simple times. Every comment bringing laughter. Every day growing fonder. Every moment cherished. Waiting for one more chance to be together. Throughout the fun, there is pain. The hurt from a loved one. The pain unintentionally given. Unwelcomed, the pain comes. Forgiveness is there also. The ability to look past shortcomings. Memories and forgivings. All parts of love. Carla Branch

Slumbering, she lies dormant. Sleeping, her cinders warm your hands. Dreaming, her hair flows down the hillsides, kindling memories. Fearful, excited, the ancient attraction commands you draw closer. A touch of breath, the embers glow, sparkle, flash. Cupping her coals in your hands, your touch brings her to life. She flares up, renewed, her kiss seeking, hungry, immediately out of control and impossible to extinguish. When you feel her, your fingertips blister, thankfully. Her heat grows intense, you welcome the pain. She scorches your body and bathes in the glare. This sheet of flame, roaring in your ears, engulfs you,

She stands alone her petals so smooth I watch the Light hit her - and my heart is moved. Such elegance, such beauty, my eyes have never known- she stands absorbing golden rays, I sit and watch alone. Her silky petals... and tender green leaves... her long narrow stem with its thorns of unease. It bewilders me to think as I watch even now, that rose that I see has been battered somehow. Beaten by the winds and the rains of life, by the thorns of other roses, by pain and strife. Oh! to be the Gardener, and to

You, my love, were made for storms. Your eyes, colored like cloudy seas, Peer through darkness to compass the horizon— Your hands built of strength That manned dragon-ships on icy waves. Your hair falls, a dark bird’s wing, A flag held high though wind whips wild— Your body braced for sudden shock, A seagull flying against unfavorable winds. I have seen you before— Thunderstorm gray robs jewels from the sea Wind needles the sand and froths the waves, Birds seek branchy sanctuary One last sunray gilds a darker cloud, And there I see you… Smooth, curved, sun-silvered wings Free, wild,

Music in the night, Echoing, Lonely. A thin solo searching, Spiraling into the emptiness Of space. Stars' cold fingers Pointing, Laughing. Tears sob in the music, A break. Far away on a distant star A strand of sound, A light tentatively wavering, Pulsing with emotion, Probing the reaches of the black night. A bridge of light forms, Stretching across the void, Melody Pushing back the darkness, Piercing through the emptiness. Joy! and the songs join together, Closing the gap, Bridging the chasm, Meeting each other In a duet that wakes The morning stars to sing With glory and joy and

She sat alone, waiting, a small blue flower on a mountainside of life, a blade of grass in the prairie; a lonely melody without an orchestra, a lost star without a constellation. The winds of time ruffled her petals sang her a lullaby— she fell asleep. She dreamed… A breath of a caress smoothed her hair touched her cheek whispered her name. She stirred, not wanting to lose her dream, murmuring “no� Insistent, the someone took her hand; the warmth spreading to her heart. Gently, softly whispering “my love, wake to me� Opening her eyes she saw two chips of

Thank you for loving us more than you love yourself. Thank you for giving us more attention than anything else. Thank you for brightening our day when you come home, Thank you for calling, just to hear my voice on the phone. Thank you for loving the way my flub makes that sound, Thank you for loving me no matter who is around. Thank you for blessing me with 9 years of Valentines Day dates. Thank you for being my lover, friend and soul mate. Thank you for being a true man of God, Thank you for standing on

Those calls from work, just to hear my voice, The little notes left in my car for you I do rejoice. Soft kisses on my cheek or running your fingers through my hair, When you think I am asleep, you silently say a prayer. The "hey baby's, how was your day?" Soft hugs from behind, A hickey on my neck, your claim to my heart, soul and mind. Oh how you brighten up my day, it's the little things I treasure Holding hands in public, making love brings me pleasure. The little songs about food, making up after a fight

Dusty, old and yellowing letters, With tears along the creases And my tears adding delicate swollen bumps to the pages, One for every bump I've met along the way These letters proved you once loved me, Even if it was a time long ago And never have I been one for forgetting, Everything I used to know How your hair smelled sweet of summer, And looked of everything free How our feet glided side by side together, Along the shore of the early morning sea So I'm returning home to you now, To where I know you'll be Clutching

Hit me again, Mr. Trumpeter man, You prodigal son, reformed You're a captured man, With a free right hand, In a world where no soul is mourned. Hit me again, Mr. Trumpeter man, Is that sweat or holy water? Cuz the way you play, I could dance my way, Into heaven or to my own slaughter. You could save my life, Mr. Trumpeter man You play puppeteer with my emotions, And I move and I sway, Dance my nights away, Surrendering to your every whim or notion Anonymous

I have this gift for you today It’s not very big at all But it’s given with love and filled with kisses From the biggest right down to the small Each kiss is soft and tender Each kiss for you my love Each kiss to bring you smiles and joy As each day we walk in love Each one is for precious moments Each joy that we can share And when you’re feeling all alone You will know I’ll always care There is no mountain you can’t climb No challenge that will cause defeat I’m so glad we got to

Today was a day like no other before A day of rare passion you see For today we revealed our most intimate selves Moments in time seized for you and for me! We kissed and we cuddled and it felt oh so fine As we lay in each others arms too The passion and desire we shared it was great And I felt the love given from you I could say it just happened and I guess it did too Was this planned a long while ago? We needed to know if we wanted each other Could we really

LORD? We have come together, Our passion truly spent. I nestle in my husband's arms Surrounded by his scent. His gaze towards me is tender, His arms hold me so near, I hear his heartbeat's rhythm. With him I have no fear. Naked with my husband My soul is laid bare, too. He knows me as his true beloved With joy that's ever new. Deeply I am comforted Secure within his love. Gently I drift off to sleep Sheltered from above. Carrie Sue Babbitt

As I sit here in my room A thousand miles away There is something I should tell you Some words I've got to say I love you more than anything I've told you this before You are a special part of me An essence at my core Your smile and touch excite me Like nothing ever has Your warmth and humor lift me Like a masterpiece of jazz We're partners and we're soulmates This I know is true We've been there for each other When we're sad and when we're blue You're such a terrific person The one that's

When I think of you, I think of laughter. I think of sharing popcorn and cracking up at a silly movie. I think of imagining a silly sight and laughing with you until tears form. I think of a shared thought that only we know and giggling like school kids, upon remembrance. When I think of you, I think of security. I think of feeling safe in your arms as you hold me. I think of how you lovingly provide for our family. I think of being with you forever and never feeling alone. When I think of you, I

Sometimes… Your heart is made of ICE Like every tear you ever cried has frozen round it.. Forming a frosty… thick… protective barrier…. I try to wrap it in my hands… melt away your pain… But I am pushed away by your glacial suspicions. But other times… Your heart is made of FIRE Red hot with rage and anger. …Repressed passion… I try to get close….. Cool down your feverous angst…. Calm your chaotic emotions..... But the flames lick at me… burn me… drive me back Sometimes… Your heart is made of STONE Gray… heavy… dense… impenetrable… I put my

One wish, just one wish is all I ask, A simple thing, not too great a task. To wake beside you every day, The rising sun's light on your angelic face! To feel you beckoning, as I caress your cheek, Taste your welcoming lips, with love so sweet. Our arms around each other, will never be undone, Our hearts together, beating as one! My heart is yours, my love is true, For me there is no other but you! George Sommerhalder

I thought of you tonight and... Remembered Closing my eyes, my vision never dimming. You standing there... I could see you. Your eyes, so dark, Your skin so soft, Your hair...the finest silk You are the very picture of beauty. You looked at me... My faults, could not be hidden. Yet, your eyes began to shine With the light of the stars. You smiled. At me! For me! You loved me, your outstretched arms Allowed me to love you. Your touch, light as a feather, Hovering, unsure. But made passion bloom, Like flowers after a rain, Exploding into life. Your

It was a year ago, you chose to go; mysterious places still unknown. I didn't get to say goodbye. You'll never know how hard I cried. Angels came to escort you. Blue jets streaked across the sky. Their mission clear, fly Chris fly! Fly away to a better place, He's waiting there I know. To welcome you with open arms, Like us, he loves you so! Beyond this world, we'll meet again. For me , dear Chris, I know you will send! Forgotten, never! Alive forever, in my heart. Anonymous

The fire on the hearth, the only light Rain on the windows, thunder in the night Music on the stereo soft and low The look in your eyes, that soft glow Your smile that makes me tongue-tied Turns my bones to jelly, melts me inside Reaching for my neck, a long lingering kiss A night like this, this one I will miss We could not dance, the floor too rough So we just held one another and swayed Neither wanting or willing to say enough Two lovers embracing while hands played Holding, stroking, a kiss, nibbles now and then It’s

Storm approaching suddenly, Run to the window, look and see. Alluring glance from me to you, Without a word…you think it too. Clothes in a trail across the floor, from window pane, to outside door. Secluded place, a grassy field… In open view, (yet still concealed) A blanket lay upon the ground, Where you and I And Rain Fall Down Warm wet descends from summer skies, As birds and bees, cover their eyes. Alas, the rain comes to an end, Return inside… to wait again. Katherine DeJesus

I know it’s wrong to love you For reasons that are plain But my heart holds on to feelings That my mind can not explain I know if this continues, I’ll be crying in the end But my need to have you near me Won’t let me just be your friend. I know in time we’ll have to face What’s forcing us apart But I can not make decisions that are guided by my heart I know that though I love you I may have to let you go I don’t want to see the truth, But… I know

It is a folly I should think Your soul to be concealed Within the orange palace Behind lock and link And so my feelings are lost Caught and drowned Like newly-sprouted trees Destroyed in your frost My love shall grow again in spring I must confess My words freeze As I try to thaw you with this ring Still your floodwaters rush over me I struggle for the surface I try to reach the top Maybe if I break through you'll see When you say our love can never thrive The bright sun shines The green grass grows And its

Somehow I've been blinded, by the sunshine glow of your smile. The leaves rustle to match your soft laugh. As I hold you close I whisper, "There is only you." I have only you; I have only the world. The wind blows my hair to match your sigh. You look up at my face and shake your head, leaning closer to my ear you correct me, "There is only us." Amber Scodras

Gentle is your touch as I close my eyes and imagine I breathe ever so deep, filling my insides with thoughts and uncovering passions Full is my heart when I think of how I long for you, your smile, your touch, your embrace I inhale and anticipate you in haste Exhale and feel the ecstasy that comes from the mere remembrances of your lips touching mine The gentle suck on my tongue, your kiss so divine Ever so complete a feeling that comes deep and inward with just the mention of your name Everything about you, about us sets

I long for the scent of your skin warmed by the friction of mine. A musk, unparalleled, that cloaks my heart with love. I long for the taste of your kiss. Not a sip to leave me wanting but full and deep and quenching as water for my thirst. I long for the feel of your touch upon my shoulder, neck, or ear. Light as a fairy's wing brushing upon the air. I long for the sound of your voice; the gentle utterance of my name, the whispering in my ear of loving words meant just for me. I long

There's a secret smile I wear upon my face when you're not there. It echoes of a time when you placed it there for all to view. A memory of some time gone by when something funny crossed your mind and, knowing how we think the same, to my side you quickly came to share your thoughts or just your view on anything that came to you. I love the sharing, you must know, for that's what helped our love to grow but that's not all I'm thinking 'bout when that grin starts popping out. Sometimes when remembering a look,
Continue reading Secret Smile
When daytime turns to twilight When you and I are old When many years have come and gone And all the leaves are gold When we have walked many more miles Through the grass so green And we have talked many more times Of all the things we've seen When we have held each other's hands Through all the trials that came And I have heard a million times Your lips whisper my name I'll still have you and you'll have me And through remaining years I'll smile with you and laugh with you And kiss away your tears. Martian
Continue reading When Daytime Turns To Twilight
I sit back and think what a mess I’ve gotten myself into ‘I’m strong’, ‘ I can handle him’, ‘Independent woman coming through’ I’ve eaten my own words, I’m now your puppet, your love slave I only want what you desire, like a puppy, I behave. My will has melted into yours, blended all the same. You can do with me what you will, I can’t put up a fight. I struggle, buck, fuss, but in the end you win. I can’t keep this up, I am not strong enough I’ve kicked that I’m tough, stuff, right in the buff.

Gentle faceless stranger I have met you in my dreams Just a re-appearing vision I’m uncertain what it means I have danced with you in twilight Till’ the daylight set you free Hoping when I fall asleep again You would return to me I’ve waited for you many nights When my eyes closed, you held me tight Then finally my dream Revealed your face Your eyes green like a glowing moon Your hair that feels like silk and soon I wished for something real To take dream’s place Then every day I opened eyes And hoped to see my

Long before your hypnotic glide down the isle of the bank were we met Long before your candy apple voice melted my heart to sweat Long before you knew I would be your choice I knew you Long before our reunion on your birthday, Long before we connected emotionally in a whole new way Long before you wanted to know my heart’s desires I knew you Long before we intertwined our being, Long before our two souls became one, intimately Long before you decided to give yourself to me I knew you I knew you in my fantasies of love
Continue reading I Knew You
A taste of your complete undying love Your lips as soft as any thornless rose Your glance is all it took, oh what it shows You bring me up to heaven up above To fly together with the graceful dove My heart was self-contained, never to close It skips for you, for it you really chose Contend or come between, I push I shove Complete, our love will last eternal time You make my soul so pure, for you it yearns For I, no need to bite the hand that feeds If thoughts to drift away, an awful crime My
Continue reading A Taste
I close my eyes and I can feel you touching me, kissing me, loving me, and then reality wakes me and you're gone. Gone, but not from my heart, my mind, and my soul. I know in there you will always be there forever. These feelings I have for you are so strong, so vibrant, so complete. I ache to be with you. My days seem to be an eternity when I'm not with you -- hearing you, smelling you, touching you. You woke me from a slumber and you brought me ALIVE again. You are my prince, my friend,
Continue reading I Close My Eyes
When I'm old and gray and feelin' weak, And my bones play a symphony when they start to creak. I want someone I can laugh with still, When I get old or I get ill. To spend my days with enjoying the sun, To cuddle at night and have "just plain fun." To be myself, be a kid at heart, And so I've begun a brand new start. To find someone possessing respect, Consideration, compassion and trust. And also a sense of humor, for sure, 'Cause that'd be a must. We'd share the worst along with the best, And know

If only I could find the words To whisper in your ear The music of my heart undone Whenever far or near Remembering the chord Across my heart Fingers playing pianoforte As if in deceptive cadence Of impressionistic consort My mind welcomes da capo-dolce Making my heart soar Remembrance of the music Bows crossing with appassionato flare Creating desired andante In which within tempo Is sometimes hard to bear Often there are phrases My young soul wants to play Although experience forces A fermata Fear of making grave mistakes Albeit, I keep asking Must I keep my muse at

It seems to me, you're too good to be true. Now don't get me wrong, I do believe you, And everything that you've told to me. But you're like no other, can't you see? Your sweet sense of humor, your gentle ways, They do make an impact on my days. And turn my sadness into a smile, In your arms I'd sure stay awhile. Your words have a calming way all their own, I'm grateful for all the care you've shown. Like so often before you've shown unselfish love, Your friendship's a gift from heaven above. I don't know what

I cast my eyes on the blanket of stars, As I walk along the beach. I think of your smile, your calming voice, But like those stars, they're out of reach. I wonder what it feels like, To be held in your embrace. To hear you whisper in my ear, To caress your smiling face. To feel your fingers' tender touch, As you run them through my hair. These are the thoughts that fill my nights, And I ache 'cause you're not there. For now, it's just a fantasy, To play over in my head. My thoughts begin their nightly

I love you my dearest flower, You are my gentle rose, Fragrant and lovely, To be truly desired and adored. You are adorned with the deepest of red velvet, Soft and supple, smooth to the touch on my lips, I will gently caress my lovely flower, Careful to avoid the thorns, Forever savoring the aroma and taste of your lush lips, Dripping with the sweetest of honey. Oh, how much I need my brightest of all bouquets. How could I live without my dearest flower, My gentle rose, fragrant and lovely, I so truly desire and adore you my lovely

It grows somewhere inside of me And warms my heart, your love, you see.... And fills me with this fateful glow That longs for you, a burning, slow And as it grows it quickens that Which courses through my veins, and at The moment when it fills my soul It makes me love you, makes me whole. So take me, that which makes me love, And all of me is not enough, But take my spirit and my name, Take all of me from whence I came.... Leave nothing left to ponder That which doesn't feel and doesn't wonder,

Thoughts floating in my mind... Feelings of another kind... Inexplicable to me Are the visions that I see. The impossibility of such, This dwelling on you so much Has caused me to be free, and yet So captured by my reverie. This dream, uncalled for, yet so real That sets my heart up for the steal, And promises of nothing, or A chance to see you just once more. If I close my eyes I see you there, Royal, classic, golden hair; With eyes that light the world aglow With love and passion burning so. I am better for the

It is in you I find a solstice a true peace of my inner being In all the world the feeling in your eyes I am not seeing When you hold me all the fear is obsolete dreams appear, hope is renewed, I am complete Comfort abounds here in your embrace In you, my heart and soul are placed Protected you and I ,by this love, and I want to be here always, in a euphoria that surrounds us forever........ Laura Fredette

If I could never see your face again, Or reach out to touch you, If I could never again feel your warmth Against me in the night, Something would be missing in me. If, one day, you weren’t by my side, Together in comfortable silence, If your hand didn’t reach out to hold mine As we sat side by side, Part of me wouldn’t be there either. The minutes and the hours and the days Have molded our hearts into one, And I have found contentment and Satisfaction within your love. We belong together. Susan Lee

As we strolled the ocean shore walking along, listening to the waves rolling in like the many years of our lives. We reminisce the pages, laughing, crying, wondering where the time has gone that has brought us to this place. We look behind us at the footprints in the sand side by side hand in hand A pause to gaze into each others eyes to embrace and to kiss And as we hold each other tight we breathe deeply, a sigh of reassurance As our thoughts tell us that ,no turbulent storms no raging seas, just as the trials

Amber romance fills the air, Rusty twins glisten against the flickering flame. The irony of the Chateau Saint boasts of passion, Essence of the rose permeates the soul. Dancing with life, the night gently passes, Moments of ecstasy sway with rhythm. May this dream perpetuate into eternal bliss. Ricky Nelson Walker

Great oceans separate us, But you are close closer than the dusty desert air I breathe. Mighty waves crush our voice, But I close my eyes and hear your soft whispers. Many mountain top divide us, But one memory of you sends me soaring. Vast Ethiopian desert and star filled sky desperately cast you away, But destiny draws us oh so close. Ricky Nelson Walker

How does it feel to belong to Someone, Does it feel warm and cozy and snug? Does it make you purr like a kitten When that Someone gives you a hug? Does it make an ord'nary day sunny And special although it may rain, Does it help you get by on less money? Does it help on bad days ease the pain? Does it lighten the weight of your burden, Help you tackle a ton or a heap? Does it make your days somewhat refreshing? Does it make your nights "love and sweet sleep"? How does it feel to belong

Moonlight shining on my pillow As I lay asleep Is your skin, new fallen snow It rests upon my cheek The shooting stars that are your eyes Dance and glimmer just for me The cool and quiet night is wise With you, O night, I flee In my world of ancient dreams That have been dreamt before My love for you, O mortal, seems Another ancient door People love for days and nights And shall forever care But you, my heart, eternally white No other love compare. Lelly John

One wish, just one wish is all I ask, A simple thing, not too great a task. To wake beside you every day, The rising sun's light on your angelic face! To feel you beckoning, as I caress your cheek, Taste your welcoming lips, with love so sweet. Our arms around each other, will never be undone, Our hearts together, beating as one! My heart is yours, my love is true, For me there is no other but you! George Sommerhalder

I remember a younger time When life was full of promise. Full of laughter, love and hope; The years not yet upon us. I gave you all I had to give; My heart, my soul, my life. You returned with all you had And I became your wife. We struggled through and made a life; Children, hearth and home. Never once did we give up Or set our hearts to roam. As the years were passing by Our love did see us through. And now that life for me is done I wish one thing for you. Look back

A chance meeting by a Higher Power. Two strangers become friends, both feeling like they've known each other forever. An attraction so strong, and a feeling so deep, neither one could ignore. Separated by distance, but brought together by fate, and everyday falling deeper in love. A love that is true, strong, and gentle. A love that only happens once in a lifetime. Pamela Jean Padgett
Continue reading Once In A Lifetime
For every kiss, I take a second to say a prayer. Each time you hold me, I take a minute to thank God for you. For every hour we spend together, I wish for more hours in the day. And for each day that we're apart, I miss you so much my heart can't bear it. Love knows no boundaries. Love knows no distance. Fate brought us together, and only God can tear us apart. Pamela Jean Padgett

If I could send a letter to heaven, it's contents would be no secret. It would be a letter of heartfelt thanks and gratitude. It would contain many thanks to God for the blessings that He has given me, my family, my job, and most of all, you. You have been a wonderful blessing, and I thank God for you a thousand times over. He has made a generous, caring, loving individual, and placed him in my life. And I would thank the angels for keeping you safe and for watching over you, when I am so far away. If

In the fast-paced world of today filled with noise, worries, and chaos, one can’t help but look for a place to escape. Yet often because of the responsibilities from families and jobs there isn’t time or money to travel to an isolated island or even a lone cabin in the woods. In the fast-paced world of today, one finds it challenging to find a silent moment for reflection of who they are, what they are doing, and where they want to go. Yet many of these answers can be found in the person who consumes our thoughts when schedules, meetings,

As a child you learn of a soul mate…a person made perfectly for you, your two souls become connected as one and are destined to be together until the end of time. Through adolescence you grasp on to this idea of a soul mate, believing you will someday find the one. But after much heartache and many rivers of tears, this notion you’ve held onto for years begins to fade. As time goes by, day by day, year after year, you move forward, accepting of your failures and proud of your successes…until that day. This is a day like any

You’re sweet, you’re kind, you’re caring You’re everything I need. You lift me when I’ve fallen, When I’m lost you take the lead. At times I can be selfish, Refusing to compromise, But you don’t let that stop you, From bringing me home a surprise! You love me in the morning, Even when my breath does stink. You love me in the winter, When my nose turns pink. You love me in the summer time, In fact, all year round, You love me for the person I am, Head to toe, up and down. No matter what you can make

Ten thousand stars shine in the night Proclaim your love through twinkling light They whisper softly through the air About my longings to be there The crescent moon is waxing full, My heart to yours ‘twill surely pull. The nightbirds’ voices on the eve, Reminds my soul with whom I cleave. Arm in arm, with you I yearn The distance parts us, my soul doth burn. The mem’ries of our evenings past Must feed my heart till parting’s past. The evening creatures’ loving songs Intensifies what my heart longs; Spring’s mating calls float on the breeze, From ponds and reeds,

Sometimes I daydream about what it would be like If you kissed my forehead for no particular reason at all, Or if you picked me flowers from your backyard. You don't have to buy me the world Just write me a song. Sometimes I think about what it would be like If you stroked my hair for no particular reason at all, Or if you drove to my house just to say "Hello." You don't have to be perfect Just love me for what I am. Sometimes I dream about what it would be like If you kissed my

Late at night, secretly Into the woods I go, To run to the one, who holds me tight Where the spring does flow. Perched beside the sparkling spring He kneels to wait for me, To spend the night in his arms; No place I'd rather be. He stays all night holding me Telling tales of old, Whispering warm breath on my cheek, Saving me from the cold. From the moment the stars grace the sky Together we will stay, Until the sun licks the trees And steals the night away. There is no lust, no sex, no pain No

Have I told you lately how I want you? To forever hold you in my embrace, And to give my love without failing, as I bask in your beauty and grace. Have I told you lately how I want you? To gaze into your wondrous eyes so blue, to plumb the depths of your soul through those windows and kindle your heart's love anew. Have I told you lately how I want you? To feel your body pressed against mine, to feel the beat of your heart against me as we lay there and slowly entwine. Have I told

God? Thank You for the blessing Of those precious loving hours Spent in the arms of Steven; Those moments we call ours. You are always present In everything we do. Our love affair is holy. There is no shame in You. The loving arms that hold me, The passion in the kiss, The sweet release together, The bonding and the bliss Are gifts that You have given To those who will obey; To those who seek You first in life And in Your Will to stay. When I gaze deep in Steven's eyes As the passion peaks And I'm

With a touch she causes my tender heart to race, With a touch she drives me to rapture, With a touch she leads me to a beautiful place, Where I long to be held tight and captured. With a glance she tells me she wants me by her side, With a stare she makes my spirit leap, With a look she takes me on a wonderful ride, Where our passion runs wild and deep. With a smile she tells me she’s happy, With a smile she makes my heart sing, With a smile she lets my lonely soul free,

Let’s have a baby! He says to me, his eyes brightly shining. The dimple on his cheek accents his grin Like a cloud with a silver lining. My thoughts drift back to flowers and rings, A veil and a gown of white. My love waiting for me at the alter, A vision always in memory’s sight. The tuxes and dresses, the pictures taken, The “Bridal March� still playing in my mind, Start to mix with the sounds of the salty waves As I come back to the present time. I drift back to my love with a grin on

Tonight I listen to your breath while you sleep, and your reef arm cradles my waist. Your breath is a wave I ride as I dally along dream’s shoreline - I savor each tow’s journey, your sleeping fish against my inner thigh your cheek warm and rough like sand, a spray, a puff of breath, a miracle against the skin. As I slip into the pull between each sigh I remember that breath, ragged, cloaked by a clay frame, molded by a rip tide: tossed, tumbled into a gray sea slug with awkward appendages feebly embracing an August sand.

My Heart had been locked up my soul grew dim you see Then you came into my life you held the only key.

Today I went to church and as I knelt to pray. I needed no rehearsal I knew exactly what to say. I thanked God for Heaven and the stars that shine above. I thanked him for you and giving me your love. I thanked him for you showing what true love really means. I thanked him for you appearing in my dreams. I thanked him for taking away my troubles and what strife. Thank you God for bringing this wonderful man into my life. I'll Love him Forever & Always, I promise for sure. Thank you God he's all I

Today, tomorrow, and every day after; Yesterday, the day before, ever since I met her; My thoughts have been consumed My being, with her beauty, become entombed. Words, expressions, gestures, they all begin to matter; That smile, her touch, her kiss made my mind scatter; Those memories of her scent and laugh, Are all that mend my spirit when it splits in half. The meaning of love became clear to me; The essence of desire and ardor commenced to be; All of life seemed to revolve around her, And all the ugliness of this world became a blur. Her beauty

Could you be the one for me? You make me feel so wild and free, But yet there is a dark side, And I don't want to be taken for a ride. I get so lost when I gaze into your eyes, And later wonder if you've been telling me lies. You make me feel the sparks of fire, But is it love or just desire? I like when we're together And wish that this passion would last forever. I love to feel your arms around me so tight, But I wonder if what we're doing is right. But these

Even though you are so very far away, You somehow seem nearer to me every day. You are the life of my soul, Making me feel whole. You are the forever flaming fire, Everything I could ever desire. You are the spark of my dreams, All the ambition in my schemes. You are my true best friend, Someone on whom I can always depend. You are my guide, Helping me to decide. You are as close to me as can be, Because you are a part of me. Katherine Anne Quible

We have passed through so much time Merely existing As spirits soulfully entwined You happened across my path one day And decided that you'd like to stay Now we look at each other And we are amazed At how far we've come How our spirits have grown And how quickly the seeds of our life were sown. Someday, on the other side of forever We will look back and reflect How wonderful it was How we've come to expect More of ourselves and the world Knowing how truly wonderful life can be Together forever, You and Me.

Strange-I live with my heart outside my breast. Instead, thou holdst it in thyself, 'tis true, Since I to thee love finally confessed, And thou returned it, making one of two. 'Tis hard to live without thee in my sight; I sorely miss thy blissful countenance, Thy gentle touch which sets my soul to flight, And thy eyes, which, full of inner light do dance. I long for thy lips meeting with my own; Oh! to fall into thy strong arms again, As we share our deep love in dulcet tones- Sweeter, as it flows freely and unplanned. I survive

How may I earn thy love, my joy, my sweet? I live but for thy smallest fleeting smile. My honours all I place beneath thy feet, And tremble at my daring all the while. Thy silken tresses; aye, thy honey'd locks Flow smoother on than rivers to the sea. The yearning of my heart my thinking mocks, That I might dare believe that thou'ld choose me. I lose myself within thy sky-wide eyes, Calm as a breeze or stormy as a gale; Whenever thou art with me, my heart flies, Winging its way o'er fountain, hill, and dale. And tho

I lie here late at night Sleep eludes me A word, a face haunts my thoughts His image woven in the fabric of my mind Sense escapes me whene'er I see his face float before my eyes So many things I'd like to say Yet my tongue is silent with fear A terror that he would reject me I, a common coward, lie awake thinking of all that he is His calm, clear eyes, full of depth His bantering voice, betraying a sharp wit His nimble hands revealing a gentle strength My psyche clasps the image of this man of

The night was dark, cold, foreboding The ark I had hoped never to need Sat ready and self-sufficient, awaiting the drops The sky opened with gusting winds and torrential rain The new ocean tossed and tumbled my simple craft All alone amidst waves and thunder I sit in my misery and wonder if the light will come Forty days and forty nights passed over my dark soul As the last drop falls and eerie silence descends, I feel a new hope spring forth But the time is not yet right For my peace-loving friend wanders aimlessly Despairing for my sanity

Valentine's Day: A Funny Valentine Poem By Joanna Fuchs Since my Valentine got a computer, My love life has taken a hit. Nothing I say is important, Unless it’s a byte or a bit. Before she got her new laptop, Everything was just fine; Now she says we can’t talk Unless we both go online. "But honey," I said, "I’m attached to you; Love is what I feel." "That keyword isn’t relevant," She said, with eyes of steel. She clicked the keyboard furiously; The screen was all she could see, And then to my horror and shame, She started describing
