"Even When You're Near" I saw you yesterday. You’re not far. Maybe five minutes, a handful of quiet streets. But I miss you. Not because you’re gone, you’re not. It’s just that the world feels softer when you’re in it, next to me, not just in thought. The couch feels bigger....

Families are not The same anymore They seem to be More distant, they’re Not close at all They barely have time To pray and eat together Everyone’s looking at Or on their cell phones Even taking sibling rivalry To a new low Jealousy and animosity cut Deep within their souls And the lack of respect Is off the charts Bedding down each other’s Husbands or wives Girlfriend’s or boyfriend’s Is way out...

Written: January 06, 2024 ______________________________________ Shimmering swaths of cerulean sea ionize comely light purple-tinged sand strewn with tattered shells during low tide, summon imperial thrones, tartly lovely youth amid sparkling Tyrian swells, whilst peering solace amid  vibrant splendor  of landscape, as serene slopes  and lucid pleas prevail,  I wait with ebbed breath for an ethereal grace to ignite a spark...

I want to hear you breathing Not just know that you're alive Proximity is vital For my beating heart to thrive The spoken words a niceness You won't hear me complain But the silence in-between them Life's invisible refrain I want to feel you breathing Just the warm breeze on my cheek As you lean across to whisper Something precious and unique I'll smile and...

I can see your soul Through your eyes Past your superficial exterior I can know your feelings In the tone of your voice The way that you move I can understand your thoughts In the things that you say And the way that you say them I want to know you – Susan Manley (C) 1985...

From the milky crimson rosy sky The buds come to make a dream To my eyes of hearty love to dye The beloved soul to be closed rim The rippling heart dances on a bud Womb to seize the soul of true love By the scythe moonlit with a squad In the closest veins to free fine dove Snowflakes on the white...

In our slumber embrace you talk in my sleep I sleep in your talk Does my furure lie in your words? Do my thoughts tell our fortune? I call it mystic 'cause you're treasures are true, giving way To my pleasured senses in you. Leave me at loves point break to Gather our tenses Leaving our notions to Travel the inner notions To a love...

SPIRITUAL CLOSENESS I know you are always with me As minutes gather, form together and mesh Then don't be afraid Then all at once, time stands still Infinite nights dictated by moonlight I know you never give more than can be handled Allowing for time forgotten, to be reclaimed and remembered Then go ahead, meet the challenges Recounting moments captured from memories I know you...

You knew me before I ever knew you. A child so innocent You watched as I grew. Still of this world I floundered and fell. Thank you my Lord You saved me from Hell. The day that you touched me My life became yours. You guided, you kept me From worldly lures. I talked about life How hard things had got. You listened and told me You loved me...

I’m in your life for a reason, though just for a brief season. You all ease by me everyday, breeze through me then slip away. Avoid my glance, never even stay. Hurrying by me quickly down this street in retreat. I’m in your life for a reason, though just for a brief season. Forgetting to share our lovely gift, by hurrying by our hearts adrift. Rarely our heads do scarcely lift. Hurrying by me hurrying down this Street...

We floated through that year together falling as a grain of sand, through the hourglass of time from Eden’s Edge unplanned. Those planes, in shifting, gifted us with vistas of our heart. We shared the passion born inside each new rainbow’s start. Mirrors of our eyes became the sunlight that we knew. Longing reached, with thirsty hearts, to grasp our...
