Our Shared Love

When I’m all dressy, you adore my charms -
I’m reaction-affected straight into your arms.

When morning touches our bed, our snuggle wiggles closer -
Light touches us as one and soft kisses are freshly begun.

In lighthearted moods, we laugh and play in rain -
Building ample joy to sail through any life strain.

We share secrets, dreams and life stories -
We grow by delving into all life categories.

Before night embraces our star bound wishes -
You seal them ambitious in love sewn stitches.

What I watch, you see, too;
When you need a fan, that is who I am;
When I laugh, it is echoed by you;
When in need of a listener, my ears heed;
What I feel, you seek to reveal; and
When you find joy in any minute, I am in it.

Content, you read your book while these words I write,
yet you have no knowledge of even being here tonight.
You have never gazed at me with love in your eyes
or even acknowledged me when I was within your sight.
Love thru fantasy is all I have to stifle my heart cries
and keep my entirety safe from unrequited love demise.

I think we all need a seccret love when we need to feel special and no-one is around at the time to make it so, to get us though a tough time or for reasons known only unto ourselves. Life without a little romance must be hard indeed and for some no doubt unbearable. I can relate to this poem on a number of levels. A 7. Glad the soup is still holding your interest.

Such a true to life poem, CayCay. I think, as poets, many of us live in a dream world.

Wow you nailed this one girl! I miss you...I know you are busy as I have been...two solid long days of working on taxes, then we still had to get an extension. I hope your weather is favorable and you are all well? . Blessings, Connie : ) 7

Love the poem and the thoughts put into it. To love someone and not have it returned is sad but not all people show love by emotion some show it by doing or simply by being there. love phyl

I really enjoyed the format of this poem, the changing stanza style really made an impact. The message/theme was fantastic and I loved the line "yet you have no knowledge of even being here tonight." It really touched me as I know this feeling. Nicely crafted CayCay
