As I gaze into my Crystal Ball
What do I see
Is it the future
For you and me
Or just dreams from within my head
No, it’s the real thing instead
I can see us together for eternity
So what will be, will be
Happiness love and everlasting passion is ours
It will grow and grow just like the flowers
And will bloom more each single day
Because true love has come our way
My Crystal Ball, this earth of ours
Come Rain, Sun or earthly showers
We will be in love for ever more
Because I can see just whats in store
So my darling never fear
Our love will last for many a year
Through all darkness into the light
Many a hot, steamy passionate night
So everlasting love is ours for the taking
So grab with both hands, not forsaking
Our love will last till eternity
Because its truly real, this you will see
In moonlit hush and morning's glow,
Through silent storms and rivers' flow,
A bond unseen, yet deeply true—
My heart, forever bound to you.
No passing time can wear us thin,
For love like ours starts deep within.
Through youth and age, through joy and strife,
You are the rhythm of my life.
Seasons may shift, the stars may fade,
Yet still we walk, unafraid—
For every step, your hand in mine,
Makes even darkness feel divine.
We’ve whispered dreams and dared the sky,
Laughed with the wind, and learned to cry.
But through it all, we’ve stood so tall—
Together, we can bear it all.
This love will never break nor tire,
It's etched in soul, it's forged in fire.
A vow not made in fleeting breath,
But carved in time, beyond all death.
So when the world forgets our name,
And only echoes still remain,
They'll speak of us, and softly say:
That love like theirs won’t fade away.

Constance La France
The white roses that stemmed in her heart blossomed in her eyes
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.
Song of Solomon 8:7:
"Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If one were to give all the wealth of one’s house for love, it would be utterly scorned."
Hearts beating in rhythm, softly pulsating
Writing rhymes between two connected souls
Wondrous love story God is creating
Poetry that only true love controls
Hearts believing in such hunger for light
Breathing in gentle words, exhaling hope
Amazing grace in each verse God shall write
Wondering if we should runaway and elope?
Hearts meant for one another, two as one
Brought together by the light of truelove
The poem is birthed by the Word, God’s Son
Writing hope and faith, mixed with Jesus’ love
Romance grows in hearts who’re grounded in love
Eternal, God’s love from His home above
The glycan sparkle in your eyes like an emerald sunbathing in the sun the purity in your smile so bright even the sun couldn't compare to how bright you are but when it comes to the sound of your voice it's like the sound of an angel singing and calling out to me under the night sky a sound so beautiful it truly puts you to sleep with ease and blesses the ears with a heavenly song darling you are and forever will be the brightest star in the night sky and the number one reason to why my heart beats every day.
As midnight approaches, your day will begin
So many years passed, but your day it is again
I have written about you often, it will never get old
Like all the changing seasons, I watch unfold
A broken heart from loss, still holds the cracks seen
Like imprints in fallen snow, once seen as pristine
I write with depth, not with pain for readers to see
I write with forever thoughts, in your memory
It is you willing to reach in the sky, giving me stars to shine
In the darkest of times, you represented a shrine
Because the sacrifice of your life, elevates far above
Anything someone could do, gone with everlasting love

On the periphery.
Shattering hope
With drunken glee
Strange wreckage
With intoxicated spree
Prepare to fly high

Her coffin slowly drops into the ground,
the little group of mourners huddles there,
all standing pokerfaced, without a sound,
the vicar speaks his lines without a care...
I watch and gulp the frosty morning air.
Although I hadn't been there when she died,
my heart is breaking, overflowing grief;
it's been so many years now since she'd lied -
and yes, although our love had been so brief,
our feelings never died (that's my belief).
And as the rest depart, I stand alone
to wonder if she somehow knows I'm here.
My ear detects a sudden muffled moan -
has she been buried still alive? I fear,
or is she telling me: 'I know you're near'?
written 22nd July for Constance's Q contest - Death
I sit here reminiscing about the past.
Pain and sorrow are not meant to last.
Maybe time does heal all wounds, for I no longer cry.
Letting my tears run dry.
Life is a gift that shouldn't be wasted.
For sweet victory today, I've tasted.
Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring.
But as of now, I choose to be delighted, forever grateful and to sing.
Learning from previous mistakes.
Yes, a second chance, is all it takes.
To feel God's love, sent from above.
I cherish the time we have together.
Knowing that I will love you forever.
I never thought that I could feel so protected and respected.
Then you came along, and I realized just how much God loves me.
Faith is believing what you cannot see.
Everything I've been through, lead me towards our encounter, face to face.
There is no color, no boundaries, no race.
This is what fairytales are made of, they do exist and come to life.
After all the agony, loss and never ending strife.
I'm grateful that God chose me as your wife.
the eyes of the Steiff Teddy hung from its threads
loving can take its toll when small nimble hands
poke and explore in innocent fashion and passion
what lies underneath a warm glance into the truth
the button in the animal’s ear like a hearing aid
attended to sorrows tears nightmares and joy
like a sounding board for emotions it listened
Teddy always knew how to deal with the pain
his fur was fuzzy from compassion and touch
naked patches showed signs of wear and tear
but his resolve as tested and trusted companion
never diminished and comforted the young child
the soft toy was better than a psychotherapist
and he talked way more than Freud at the couch
his messages were clearer than psycho babble
and his embracing caress secured childhood
when he growled it came from a place of support
a warning sign here and there and encouragement
not one harsh word ever came from his sweet mouth
and even today the adult cuddles him every night
sometimes simply being present is all that one needs

A tender Moment from Childhood

Tethered to eternal and boundless souls:
God's an endless chain of unbroken love.
Dreams and fantasies fuel hopes and goals
tethered to eternal and boundless souls.
Unconditional love levies no tolls;
both infinite and limitless above.
Tethered to eternal and boundless souls:
God's an endless, unbroken chain of love.
Tethered to eternal and boundless souls:

Unconditional love levies no tolls;
both infinite and limitless above.
God's an endless chain of unbroken love:
He spreads His love like the wings of a dove.
Our love will last forever,
Of that we’re both quite sure,
And when time reaches that distant point,
We’ll simply ask for more …
Could I be yours
Following stars drifting the distance ashore?
Could I be yours?
Would you be mine
Beyond the stars having a reason to shine?
Would you be mine?
Scattered bouquet, petals in the grass, you walked away.
I need you
stay
In two years and wildflowers we found each other in May,
And as I’d prayed,
You said to me we always were meant to be one that day.
Could I be wrong?
I still see stars and it is you all along.
Could I be wrong?
Waking up with the person that you love
is like watching two morning doves
You never expect them to be in love.
The moments that they share together in pure devotion show their love.
You then realize that the person you were with was a gift from god above.
That the love you have for each other will always be like two doves.
Simplistic and everlasting, always knowing and that forever will never end
even in the time of the end.
