Whispers and echoes
I’ve known you before
Souls touching and singing
Through lifetimes adored
Hold on so much tighter
The wait nears its end
Soon dreams manifest
And for you I will send
Home is with you
Safely snuggled next to me
A life so deserved
You are finally free
I’m yours forever
With you I’ll grow old
On this journey together
Two bodies one soul

"Ligella 2"
by: Eric L. Boddie
Lasting more than just a couple of days
In total awe, your pen leaves me amazed
God Is In your ink, it's not just a phase
Everything about you is what any heart craves
Love knows you well, your journey has been paved
Lust knows you better, any REAL man wants you, I must try to behave
All I know is this Spiritual Beauty that you gave...

I’m not sure what is to come of us
I’m ready now
Send me a signal
Light that fire inside
Inside of your longing heart
Set it on fire -
burn it bright
Make sure you take me -
Passionately
So I know you’re signaling my heart
Cause I’m just a man with a big heart
Oh yes
Oh please please
Kiss me
Hold onto my hand
Take me with you in this long journey
If you look up
You’ll see
Love showering you
Oh it’s a sunny day
Oh it’s a lovely day
Love love showering you

Narrative

After many travels
Through time and space
In her hands he had arrived
In her hands he was found
In her hands he could now hear
The fairies sing the angels praise
Yet in her hands he lost himself
Yet he remained contented
Satiating his need for her
In her hands he had anchored
His traveler’s vessel –
Now he needed
To explore this new land of beauty and charm
The gaping valleys and towering mountain moulds
In her hands his journey had taken a most exciting turn

Honey
As we embark upon this journey
Cherish the little things
Oh, the joy that it brings
All that remains
Will stay the same
A still image
Stands in an invisible frame
Grandma’s singing behind a wooden podium
White blouse
Red skirt
Microphone to her lips
Her head tilted upward
Life is in her eyes
The words are good
And must come out
A testimony of bare feet running free
Goods exchanged for honey
Your memories are your friends

She has been walking by my side on life’s journey
Occupying my heart with her gentle smiles
Unlocking those feelings with the sound of her voice
Lost in those dreamy blue eyes that make my knees weak.
Mesmerized by the person she has become
Always happy inside because she is my wife
Todays always seem better than yesterday
Enjoying each moment with her is my present

Your smile is beautiful and shines so bright
It can light up the darkest cold winter's night
Your heart is pure as gold like the sun
spending quality time with you has been so much fun
Life is a journey with it's ups and downs
but when I'm around you it's impossible to frown
You bring me up and calm my weary mind
This was something I was unsure I'd ever find
My heart is getting lighter each and everyday
You've helped me to toss my pain and burdens away
Thank you is all there is really left to say
I'm overjoyed God sent you my way!

Light Verse

They say a life journey is full of ups and downs
They also say in life, you should start at the bottom and work your way up
I find this totally confusing and no help at all when I’m with you
My muddle is your bottoms in the middle, how can that be true
Plus your bottoms at the back, surely that’s all back to front you see
Now do you see my quandary, not only am I starting in the middle I’m also back to front
It’s no wonder I struggle understanding you, I don’t even though where to begin
Oh! the pleasure of life and it’s complexities and I even haven’t started to begin

the warmth of your hands feel good on my all
it picks me up each time i take a fall
the feeling that they emit is like no other
i just want to have another accident so i can have another
though you are older, your youthful expression stands out
i never thought that i would fall so deeply or even go near that route
however i am glad that i did because you take me to higher heights
you make easier all roads and more copable all flights
numbers vanish in the the mystic midst of the wind
i love you like a properly learned teenager, and i will journey with you till the end

I will come for you, I will walk you home
When evening light bathes the tree trunks in gold
I will be with you, you'll not be alone
And your sweet soft palms in mine I will hold
Together, our arms entwined, will we stride
The busy streets of Unity Gardens
Just as on the aisle with you as my bride
And casting away all our life burdens
As a worshipper adores a wild god
So shall I, your countenance my delight
And till pale stars shine, love's ship let's aboard
Then glowing, you'll mirror the gloamings light
Before we embrace the night sweet honey,
On love's wings we'll fly a heaven's journey

We traveled,
Without a single word.
Left abroad, as all things that pass.
We were the only thing that furnished the space around us.
Without a single word.
We partook in sights that denounced us as things.
We soared as the clouds that journey through the sky.
We were the only things kept afloat.
An oasis in the desert of pillows where we rested our head.
Pleasant. Calm.
As we snorkeled into a deep sleep.
We partook in sights that denounced us as objects.
Faraway into the tourism which quinched our thirst.
As we never left our seat in the voyage of each other's eyes.
Without a single word.
We traveled.

Love, I wanna love you, forever
But I don't know if you I'll ever have,ever
I wanna kiss you, make you dive in so deeply
Listen to your heart beat
Listen to it forever
Let me give you of my heart every bit
Have you fall in love ever so feebly
We share a love so common, we will easily journey us into the unknown, I know
So much love darling, but too many hurdles
So hold my hand, let's skip these puddles
Baby, the river flows inside us
Steady and calm as we pass the last bend
Passion, affection, we give both class
And they're gonna get us home, to cradle of our hearts
Love, this feels too good, I hope this flow never comes to an end

Although tomorrow isn't promised.
Today was once tomorrow;
Becoming yesterday.
A depth often taken for granted.
Consider waking up one of the most beautiful of arrangements.
Perfectly gift wrapped and opened each time we blink.
Eyes coming to full bloom in the promise to make today better than it was yesterday.
Every breath a fragrance of its own as we journey through the garden of life as elegance is elegance,
Sometimes we prick ourselves in anticipation. The constitution of thorns protecting something pure.
Perfectly unraveled as the day grows on.
For we all toil for the fruit of harvest, sometimes forgetting how precious the fruit really is

Dramatic Verse
|
I remember pausing on the round
of your upper-lip...thinking, surely
no round was ever so soft, so finely
appealing. Proceeding over the wing
like curves to edges, feeling as if
in flight, lingering on the lower –
a journey of tastes, and longing...and
then the parting, and divine probing...
Afterwards we laid back, admiring the
stars; each sparkle seeming diamonds
are indeed forever; each one counted
a thousand more burst into view, as
would a rocket glitter the night sky
at a fair...
We were young and knew everything
and nothing
Several days later our Four Wheel
Technology took you from me
Time stopping both our hearts....

Those hills were pretty steep.
Those tracks were pretty long.
The mountains that we meet.
When we try to get along.
The road goes from smooth to rough.
The altitude closes in.
The questions we ask of us.
Sometimes the answers seem so thin.
Now we have to find a new direction.
We have to find a way.
They want us to give in.
But that gamble for them will not pay.
New mountains we have to climb, just to see the sky as blue.
New faces come into our lives, to you it could be me, to me it could be you.
We’ve lost something deep within and our instincts will start to wane.
But for the loved ones that we’ve lost, our journey forward will not be in vein.

The beauty of you
Ups and downs in life
This beautiful journey
If life was just good days
It’d be flat just like the Prairies
But its not
And neither are you
As much as we are the same
We are different too
Our beauty lies within
Sometimes it is in a dark place
Sometimes it is hidden
This beauty of yours
Is not just your reflection
This beauty is in your mind and heart
True beauty is inside you
Locked away like precious art
Please see the signs
Please find the clues
The true beauty of today
The true beauty of you
Is who you are deep down
And all that you have been through

Ms. Cooks loves to cook
As she designs and creates some of her dishes
Specialties and fancy dinners
Prepared for the elegancy
Ms. Cooks is a young entrepreneur
One-day shall have her own business too
As she works hard with a busy task
As her journey is everlasting
She cooks with a great passion
Breakfast, lunches, dinners and more
Home-made cakes and pies for show
Busy and busy as one can be
No time for the drama you see
Ms. Cooks, a special love goes out to you
Keep on pursuing the gifts, with all that you do
More Blessings as you continue your journey
All will pay off as you are the one and only
The older you get the more of learnings.
From: Grandma.

Hold my hand and walk with me
To a place that's beautiful we both can see
Follow me in and hear the sound
Of joy and passion that comes around
Come with me let's go so far
To a place unknown of where we are
Hold my hand and don't let go
Look at the light watch it glow
Follow your heart to what it seem
Is it real or is it a dream
Grab the hearts that pass us by
Each one is special I do know why
The love you give is o so sweet
A journey through time our souls will meet
The path we took it led us here
The joyful sound of angels cheer
A solid heart is where we stand
Always remember to hold my hand

Today I share love
Like no other I've known
Our lives became one
Just two years ago
We've shared of our time
Most good yet some bad
Knowing the other
Will make happy from sad
We share of our dreams
Our hearts and our souls
Continuing the journey
As we walk down lifes road
May no man take away
My angel without wings
My wife and my friend
My all and everything
For you gave me a gift
That is second to none
A true treasure in life
In the form of a son
God has blessed unto me
A great family and life
For that proof can be seen
For He made you my wife
May our love remain steady
As we grow gray and old
And when it's my time to leave
May you hand I hold

Bio

What were you to me may I ask?
And may I answer you real well?
You were at first a secret masque
of balls whose guests I could not tell;
a maiden who was light of task,
whose thoughts were like a hidden dell.
Oh, but now you're a raven-haired
with state and rank fit for a queen;
a soul who has most often dared
to be the friend I've seldom seen,
the one to whom I gave and shared
my quiet hopes that might have been!
You're thus to me a map and chart
to navigate life's hardships through—
the answer to my joyless heart,
and to a world that I did rue.
So now you're the sublimest part
of my life's journey which ensues.

As the shadows start to lengthen
And the colors turn to gray
The sun concedes its dominance
For night it's making way
A barque for you is waiting
To take you out to sea
To sail you to the sunset
The captain of it, me
Please come aboard my bonny
I've made a place for you
The best seat on the forward prow
The sunset in full view
I've got your pink knit slippers
And yellow blanket too
You'll be warm and comfy cozy
As we sail the ocean blue
I know the deepest channels
The surface smooth as glass
The journey will be pleasant
Though it won't be very fast
Against the tide we're sailing
The reason why is clear
The longer it takes to get there
The longer you'll be here

In twilight's glow, our love begins to bloom,
A sonnet forged from heart, not ink or plume.
For you alone, this verse of passion weaves,
An ode to love, that only you shall perceive.
In realms uncharted, our souls collide,
A love untamed, in depths we cannot hide.
This poem, unique, forged by my desire,
To set your heart aflame, and never tire.
No other hand has penned these heartfelt lines,
They're born within my soul, where love defines.
So rest assured, this verse is yours alone,
A precious gem, with sentiments unknown.
Let "Eternal Embrace" be its rightful name,
A testament to love's eternal flame.
For in your eyes, my words come to life,
A sonnet's journey, with you as my wife.

I won a gift
That's not a lie
It's not a thing
To get surprised
You wont find it
In any maze
Nor a journey
Or arcade
You only win it
While alive
By peering in
To someones eyes
It is a living
Breathing thing
It might be more
Than just a fling
You never know
When it hits
But when you get it
You feel a win
I can't describe it
With any word
But it will make you
Feel absurd
The thing i speak of
Isnt small
You could find it
Big or tall
Doesn't matter
What the size
But in time
You will despise
Everything
About your gift
Everything
You might of missed
Maybe even
Start to think
It's too much
Or not enough
But all in all
One thing is true
If this happens
Good luck to you.

Today is your wedding and you will look your most beautiful.
He will turn around with tears because you are so special to him.
May love be the first and last thought of your day.
You will have struggles, but each struggle comes with a gift. These gifts may be at first hard to see at first, but they will make you stronger.
Your love and life will be transformed as you go through life hand in hand, wondering what is next because living life is more than your dreams.
May your milestones in life are those working together as a family.
May the only scars you see in life being in the hands from heaven, holding you up on your journey.
