Empty seashore
The seashore is empty!
In the sea breeze, a vision—
your form!...
a puzzle!... with the pieces of your absence
joined in the refrain of the lapping waves—
pebbles, seaweed, and seashells.
Upon the emerging pebbles,
your light tread!...
An Aphrodite passing by,
steeped in the brine of youth,
leaving behind—in the fading wave—
a note of a wild waltz for this refrain.
Amidst the tangled seaweed,
your embrace!...
tight against the body of beauty,
loosened in the storm of desire,
two rose petals surrendered to the foam,
a note of stolen love—this refrain.
Upon the broken shells,
a shared promise—
the vow of an eternal love,
violated in the shifting sands,
like a shipwreck’s keel snapped in two;
the empty shoreline—a puzzle piece.
Years quietly slipped beyond us.
Today you stood before me.
Faded memories breathed once again.
Our eyes spoke forgotten stories.
Silence covered every trembling smile.
Your eyes still carried love.
My heart still carried pain.
Time refused our reaching hands.
Destiny separated our gentle paths.
My soul searched only you.
We will never reunite again.
My heart finally accepted truth.
Yet love never truly vanished.
Your memory became my breath.
My silence became eternal witness.
May your life bloom forever.
Let my sorrow remain mine.
Your smile brings lasting peace.
My love follows your shadow.
Goodbye never ends true love.
This meeting becomes our farewell.
Tears became love's final language.
Forgive my helpless broken heart.
Please stay happy, always, beloved.
Your happiness remains my prayer.
Eternal Love
--------------------
Pure love is like water
That keeps life alive
Not to get it rusted ever
To go ahead and strive.
Deep love is like ocean
That having no end
Stays in the heart of men
Forever echoeing till the end.
Life is hard but love is like velvet
That smoothens the way of life
To make it flourished and celebrate
The succes of the journey to strive.
Love not being old is evergreen That has no decay to be seen
In the journey of life till the ending
And its eternal to exist in living beings
Jesus walked among men,
Emmanuel, chosen one,
Saviour to faithful,
Unswerving in His path,
Steadfast at our sides......
Inspiring ministry of God,
Sharing immortal blessings to all....
Hope for human future,
Omnipotent divine sent,
Preacher and teacher,
Eternal love for us!
I close my eyes a moment, and the room begins to fade,
and suddenly I'm walking down a soft, sun-dappled grade,
The air is clear and gentle, like a perfect springtime day,
and there she is—my JoAnn-coming down the golden way,
She beams her cherished smile
I'll remember all my life,
the one that first told me, "You must make JoAnn your wife."
She takes my hand and says, “I've been right here all along,
I see you from Heaven, singing a beautiful song",
We sit beside a river that looks brighter than the sky,
she laughs about the fun we had and years that hurried by,
"You've still got work to do," she says, "and people yet to bless,
Share your gift of poetry, and your heart that will not rest."
"So visit when you miss me-l am never far from you,
Each time you share our story, I feel your love shining through,
One day we'll walk this path for real, no pain, no last goodbye,
but till that day, my love, enjoy your life, then come on by."
I wake to find the world in golden bloom,
the celestial dawn chases the night away.
Loving you is watching shadows flee the room;
greeting the hallowed warmth of nascent day.
Our quiet hours, though small to mortal sight;
scripts of fate, dressed in regal finaries.
Stars guiding wanderers into the night,
granting the weary spirit holy rest.
Of your stunning eyes, a glance I seek;
a lightning bolt across a midnight sky.
Whispers and a soft kiss upon my cheek,
makes the very towers of reason fall.
Thy voice, a steady anchor of life's veil,
declaring all the works of nature good.
The humble cup, left by thy hand for me,
is like a peace-offering from ancient earth;
In shared and solemn silence, I am free,
to find within thy soul my second birth.
We bide our time until the tempests cease;
two spirits pacing to a single beat.
In every breath, I find a new release,
laying my heart—forever—at thy feet.
To Emma
Delete my life. A memory
It was honest. But illusion
Life is way. Love is way
We can’t do. Time gone
I love you, from the past
Inspiration. Loved heart
Take a past. Dead heart
Emma, go. No be future
Don’t be. Lives died, gone
Our family. The noble. Blue
Don’t remember a passenger
See the children. On our train
Watching you. All
I loved you
Still
Loving
You
Bye
I needed you

When Your Heart Loved Mine
I have wandered on the Earth for eons now
Been in mystic places longer than a lifetime
Moments from the past I can see somehow
Less vivid than when your heart loved mine
In a dream I hear a voice say be there soon
Nurtured my thoughts in the midst of night
And teasingly wandered beneath the moon
Begged me to hold her hand under its light
You descended from the sky to comfort me
A soft touch transformed into a solemn kiss
When time comes to finally end a love story
I would beg fate to grant whatever you wish

Aboard Vision of the Seas
Cruising back toward Baltimore
Dove whispers the peace of eternal love.
A warm apple night,
moonlit tunes sprinkle around us
like snowflakes in July.
I collect them with open pulms:
silly dances, smiling eyes,
tightened arms when time felt too fast—
in the fabric of cider air.
The city wore coal dust, but
he smelt of cut grass and
noon lake so serene—
I dreamt of bluebirds from the west
eager for new water.
Green leaves as tonsils, for our
eternal midsummer.
You say you’ll love her till the day you die
But when she feels unwanted and broken inside
Will you hold her and tell her she’s enough
When she’s tired of pretending to be tough
Will you love her when she’s a mess
Her hair in a bun, her face not at its best
When she is cranky, mean and sour
Will you make her laugh for an hour?
When she wears funky socks on her feet
Will you love her when she isn’t neat?
And when she wants peace and quiet
Will you love her in the deafening silence?
When her hands tremble and shake with anxiety
When she’s being tormented by society
Will you stand with her, in the loud mess
Will you love her when she’s deep in distress?
When her skin becomes wrinkled and dry
And her joints crack and groan with a sigh
Will you help her rest, relax and heal
Will you love her even when you have to kneel?
She's so woke
Very awaken
Never let none
Ride on her man
She's so fiercely
Always protecting her man.
What an amazing grace
Luck and bless
The man she loves
Unconditional love
She always give
Without hidden intentions.
She's so crazy
For the one she adore
She's so lovely
Always amazing who she wants
She's so lazy
She's allergic to heart break
Good loving her strength
Eternal love she's always seeking.
How can I express my thanks from afar?
Lately, drove past me, smiling and waving,
In such past times, he was my guiding star,
Treasuted image of him I am saving.
"Sit tight, dear one, you see things to the end,"
Always I recall what he had to say,
Separately, path did onwards wend,
I really never know, except to pray.
Steadfast, he came turning back to me,
Inspiring in this dear eternal love,
Far and beyond in that century,
Teaching that all our gifts sent from above.
He gave all he ever met happy heart,
Before time and our human breath do depart.....
When twilight whispers secrets to the stars,
And moonlight dances soft upon the sea,
I think of fate, its ever-winding scars,
That led my soul through time to find thee.
Life's winding road, so rugged and unclear,
Held shadows deep, where dreams would fade and fall,
Yet through the dark, your light drew ever near,
A voice of hope, a whisper through it all.
Two hearts once lost now beat in perfect rhyme,
As if the heavens wove our paths as one,
A thread unbroken, stretching out through time,
Bound by the stars, beneath both moon and sun.
For life’s true gift is love we cannot see,
A timeless vow: "You are my destiny."
Bury me in the warmth of your embrace
Drown me in the scent of your skin
Let your lingering kiss feel like Heaven
Your pounding heart is my home and haven
Make my fears disappear in the whispers of forever
Let our passions ignite our souls
And flames of longing engulf us both
When two souls beyond bodies are lost
In eternal love surpassing fantasy.
