Sweet in good days, sweet in bad nights,
Suited perfectly for me and you.

Radio’s playing jazz.
Red wine is poured in flutes,
Ribeye steak; in oven,
Rose petals are scattered.
Rediscovering us.
Romance is in the air,
Ready set go, my love.

Romance I kissed the vision of her soul;
I embraced her heart I and the Lord;
Her Father’s my Father too, both of us subdued;
By grace we’ve been united, faith has decided;
The purpose of us so true, to God be the Glory;

Bid On My Love
Give me unconditional love and I be your slave
No harsh words till I reach my lonely grave
Give me my own breathing space to engrave my niche
Waltzing romance in our idyllic world sequinned for the rich

A romantic meal for two.
Though romance can seldom be new.
It can lift two battered hearts
It can make a couple remember who they are.
Memories of past times together flow.
Memories no other person will ever know.
A romantic meal for two.
A husband and wife’s love for each other will always do.
No matter what the horizon brings.
A life loved together forever sings.
Songs of love play the tunes of life.
This wife loves her husband, this husband loves his wife.

Do you feel the need for love and romance?
Option number one: dinner and a dance.
Chill at home with Netflix and a hot date.
Turn out the lights and make out till late.
Option number two: gifts galore.
Remember the one you'll always adore.
Love at first sight and your heart is pounding;
Once you're with that special one, it's totally astounding.
Valentine's Day is here with flowers, candy, and doves;
Every single person needs somebody to love.
I hope your day is filled with excitement and delight,
And wish you a happy Valentine's Day and night.

My God, When will it start
The love
The romance
The passionate kissing as 2 connect in the deepest part of their heart, mind, and soul
The chemistry of getting turned on by the touch of the other person
The nervous talking and bumping noses
The little laughs from eyelashes tickling the cheek bone
Holding hands winding fingers crazy thoughts
Tightening the space between each other
The control of slowing down to enjoy an adventure without judgment

Dear boy with the brown eyes
I was wondering where you were tonight
If you were going about town
With some cute girl in your arms
Dear boy with the brown eyes
I wouldn't mind, oh how could I mind
When we are but thousands of miles apart
Calm this senseless beating of my heart
Dear boy with the brown eyes
Don't you dare promise the moon and stars
For my heart, oh this heart of mine
Couldn't help but wish you were true
Dear boy with the brown eyes
With the jazz and alcohol that drowns me
Tonight I long for unadulterated romance
You are the illusion I hold on to as truth
Dear boy with the brown eyes
Will you ever be more than a convenient dream?
Reach out your hand to touch me
Let me know, let me know you are real

Often in the spoken word,
perhaps a long farewell,
Passion, romance soon to bud,
but only time will tell…
Once again yesterday,
and twice before next week,
in a simple act of kindness,
or a gift that’s quite unique…
An ode to trenchant dreamers,
matchless lovers from afar…
It’s okay – tomorrow then,
they gaze upon the stars…
Will two star-crossed lovers,
spell bound nonetheless,
spend their lives together…
and be jointly laid to rest?
Some believe the perfect life,
is likely just a myth.
Live and learn - and look again,
for life itself’s a gift….

Here we are again in the center of the desert
Don't know how we came to know a second chance
drowning in a drought of inspiration
thirsty still we both know that we can dance
timid and a tiny bit off of balance
my hands are shaking, heart is heavy beating
I look into the endless sky of your eyes
here and now there is no more retreating
Sands of time are shifting all around us
shards of absence seem to disappear
possibilities are promises in the breeze
and i'm complete now that you're here
You're the water to sate my starving senses
The master of mirage, you take me home
The desert is not as desolate at it used to be
now that I know I am not alone
Here are again in a second chance of romance
and the sands sing a slow song as we dance

To eternity and beyond
(Dedicated to you M.S.)
And then there you were,
Standing in the sunset.
Looking perfect as ever,
Romeo to this Juliet.
I smiled and rushed down,
Dying to be in your arms.
Smitten by your bright aura,
And irresistible charms.
You are the idyllic answer,
To all my wishes and prayers.
Someone who's my confidante,
Unraveling my convoluted layers.
Stars that shine so bright,
Are the ones that burn the most.
A love like ours soars the skies,
And scales across the coasts.
Passion that burns within us,
Connects us at the core.
A once in a lifetime romance,
Has emerged from a lore.
This bond that connects us,
Is eternal, infinite and true.
We'll always be together,
My sweetheart I love you.

Without warning you came - fortuitous
Baring your corporeal psyche - unclad
Without inhibitions i surrender
Bequeathing my all in your arms.
With clear sagacity - im aware
Conscious of things forbidden
Heedles to detrimental consequences
Carelessly played - determined not to get burned.
Gambled and unafraid - I risk
Clandestinely you took my heart - undisclosed
What we have is a fleeting romance
Born out of elusive yearning but not out of love.
A dalliance i will always recall
To lament is never perceived
You unceasingly exist in the realms of my sanity
Helpless - forbidden, restricted and concealed
I can only mourn on every thoughts of you
I have kissed you one last kiss
And felt your one last touch
Gone and never to return - i acquiese
From here and now - im drifting from our last goodbye.

For a while now,
I thought I feel no longer.
Transiently this gravity etiolated,
But you, like Optimus Prime
came to my rescue.
Like magnetic flux you appeared,
And lured me into your field.
Now I am lost in your radar,
You give my heart a real beat.
I am Spellbinded.
In my head a tenant you've become,
In my head you are the stars I gaze.
And in my heart a resident you've become
And I hope you won't depart, for you've became my Chum
YOU are my favourite thought of the day,
My Venus in a clear morning.
YOU are my cup of soup,
My latte on a cold day.
You give me the "heebie-jeebies"
Those willies, getting my knees weak.
Selfless as you are,
with the sweetness beyond.
Unmatched you are,
with a smile so contagious
And that is a complete reason why I have a renewed faith in Romance.
Perhaps you are my fairytale.

Cicada shell needed discarding, fast
Desperately ready for what she will become
Stepping rapidly out of her pitchy past
Towards freshness, her chance to succumb
Wavered mirage solidified as suitable man
Opportunity usually slashed with cruelty
Sigrid's vehemence needed a complete ban
Skin uncovered to reveal her new duality
Kind intentions filled fault lines, offered aquit
Approaching face to face day stirred her
Softer side on show, finally primed to submit
Pleas to release rancid shield heard her
New page turning requires vibrant virgin title
Her odd request, capable Ace conjured
Renewed endurance from Libby arises vital
Crowned with liberation, love pondered
Dazzling effect flung her mortality's motions
Scope to partake in romance unafraid
Libby's demeanor walks as waterfall, potion
Christens her effusive decision made

IS THIS WHAT I AM FEELING FOR REAL.
IS THIS JUST A CRUSH OR SOMETHING MORE.
ALL I KNOW IT IS YOU THAT I ADORE.
I NEVER KNEW THAT I WOULD BE FALLING IN LOVE.
GLOWING LIKE THE STARS ABOVE.
I NEVER KNEW IN MY MIND THAT I WOULD BE FULL OF JOY.
I KEEP TRYING TO HOLD IT BACK I KEEP TRYING TO KEEP MY HEART LOCKED UP.
BUT SOMEHOW YOU CAME IN ANYHOW AND NUTURED HER.
FOR HER WOUNDS ARE DEEP SHE IS SO NUMB SHE CAN'T EVEN SLEEP.
ALL I KNEW IS THAT I WAS OVER THE MOON.
WHEN YOU ARE AWAY I LONG FOR YOU TO COME BACK.
I HEAR YOUR VOICE AND I MELT THIS FEELING I HAVE NEVER FELT.
I HAVE HAD MY REASONS AND I HAVE HAD MY DOUBTS.
BUT HAVING YOU AT MY SIDE MAKES ME SHOUT.
HOW CAN THIS BE I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ALONE I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE SHUT
OFF ALL ROMANCE.
BUT WITH YOU I FEEL AS IF I HAVE GOTTEN ANOTHER CHANCE.
THIS LOVE I SOFT AND GENTLE THAT IS SO SWEET.
WHERE ARE TWO HEARTS MEET AND THEY ARE COMPLETE.

Would you tell me of this fling
how many games do you play
this tete-a-tete of cat and mouse display
taunting and teasing every heartstring?
It's a wash set out on the clothesline to dry
fastidious blown gusts chilling the skin
makes me wonder why this might begin
meandering of eyes on currents in the sky.
How well you play these games
so like a tantalizing kiss or touch
my loins and emotions fill with such lust,
have you or I, no modicum of shame?
It doesn't matter if you're black or white
not even if you're young and old
fortune and satisfaction favor the bold
there's a date waiting for you tonight.
E harmony, match and tinder call
peruse the photos and find your prime
someone not me, for a good time
romance is available for one and all.
So, keep playing your game
I'll be here waiting when you're ready
and in the end, I can be your only steady
not rich nor famous but your one true flame.

Hello it's me at your door
Don't you love me anymore?
I didn't believe that
You would ever leave
Me this way
How I wanted you to stay
I remember what you used to say
Now you went away
I miss your kiss
I remember you used to call
And how much I used to
Wait for you
To walk down the hall
When you called my name
Nothing was the same
I was so glad that you came
Now I am knocking
At your door
Don't you love me anymore?
I made a mistake and wonder
What will it take for
Me to have another chance
What can I do?
To prove that I am
So in love with you
Do you care?
Remember the love
We used to share?
Nothing can compare
I am knocking
At your door
Don't you love me anymore?
Hello it's me I
Just wanted to let you know
Because it doesn't always show
Where did we go wrong?
We used to be so strong
Now I am writing
Another sad love song
It's so hard to move along
When you and I
Used to dance
Now I'm asking for another chance
To save this romance
What will it be?
Don't you still love me?

Forever together, through good times and bad,
Our pledge to each other when we exchanged our vows.
Right from the moment we met I knew how special you were.
Even now I can’t believe you said YES on
Valentine’s Day when I proposed to YOU
Even though it wasn’t a Leap Year!
Romance was in the air for us on that special day.
I tell you every day that I love you with all my heart.
Now we have just celebrated our Silver Anniversary.
You are the one I married, the man that I adore,
Our son is testament to our love for each other.
Understanding and listening to your partner is the
Recipe for success, along with a sprinkling of romance.
Even though we have seen difficult times recently
You have been my rock and without your
Emotional support I’d have struggled to get through.
So my darling, remember that I’ll be here for you until the day I die.

In the BEGINNING, at the surface, we both met,
Two strangers, excited and uncertain, yet to set.
Down the memory lane, doubts manifold did GROW,
Knowing not how we’d together learn and know.
Through seven years our journey before us unfurled,
From infancy to youth as the coil of time curled.
Crafted with CRESTS and troughs were the weeks and days,
And you showed me my good and ugly parts lost in a MAZE.
I had asked my adolescent dreams to spin me such a soul
That completes me and becomes my true WHOLE.
But you came and saw my happy, angry and restless sighs,
And dug out my FRAGMENTS under the clear skies.
I fail to ascertain if you are a friend, lover or foe,
In musing about VALENTINE, feelings seem to plateau.
I pondered intensely what a mate, a lover, an other half is,
He is a reflection of the level of fullness within, the inner bliss.
Love truly is not in sweet cuddles, romance and gifts
It is one’s core building block, an experience WITHIN that lifts.
Through you my love, I heal the broken pieces inside me,
In our bond unbreakable, you are a MIRROR forever to be.

i wish it was you and me, the way it should be
mistakes were made and our time escaped
stealing our true chance for romance
i want you and you want me, but we cannot be
we love in secrets concealing our passion from outside eyes
peeling the layers of our clothing as i crumble the walls guarding my heart
my lips adorn your body with encoded messages
the secrets my kisses whisper along your skin
only the two of us can understand
i tried convincing myself it was only infatuation
but the way your eyes, lips, and fingertips connect with mine
infatuation is too far of an understatement to describe the desire the two of us confine
if you’ll let me
i will interlock the pain in your heart with the healing in mine
i will submerge you in the depths of my ocean unleashing our deepest devotions
i will awaken your inner euphoria exiling the afflictions that keep you from me
i await the day i can finally unapologetically love you
but until then, you’ll remain my secret lover
the one i share my heart and soul with
under the protection of the cover

Although I'm little distant, I love you on this day
Because I love you more than I did yesterday
Come lay with me on this beautiful today
Don't hesitate let's have fun and play
Each moment with you is spring time in May
Follow your heart, and let it have it's say
Give me all of you, that is the only way
Handle my heart with care,I'll never stray
I want to be with you forever and always
Join me on this lovely and romantic sleigh
Keep our romance fun, let's roll in the hay
Let's be together until we're old and gray
My heart and soul is yours, and will forever stay
New beginnings are coming and always at bay
On this day I want to be your wife don't delay
Please say yes, we'll go to Hawaii and I'll wear a lei
Quit thinking about all we have on our tray
Rest assured I'm ready to throw all negativity away
Sorry I brought all this up on your birthday
Trust in God he is the potter we're the clay
Understand we can't do this halfway
Venturing out of the box will make us giddy and gay
With you I will take you hand down life's pathway
X-ray your heart so it could be on display
You are my whole world, I'm happy as a bluejay
Zestfulness is what you give, is what I'm trying to convey

In a dark dusk canvas, I watched the wine red sunset go down on my way,
I wonder if your heart can paint out my feelings for you?
This evening, we both have plenty of time, so let's spend it with each other,
Let's be at ease and sit back, watching as it begins~!
Miracle Painting,
Miracle show time,
I'll put you in a trance with my magical brush strokes,
Up to the tip of my nails, your colours will be on my canvas.
With my beautiful dress, I'm basking in the starry sky's bright limelight,
With pride, I dance on my tip-toes, looking at you, I feel so happy!
This evening is the best, as I apply highlights around a blue eye pupil,
Embrace me tight, if we pile layers of love, we'll move along~!
Miracle painting,
Miracle romance,
I'll put love into this magical brush stroke,
Up to the tip of my hair, it's all for you.
This night with you, I wonder how many dreams there are, the overflowing feelings,
I can't count them out, I just can't convey them! It's not enough...
That's why, at this magical moment,
It's not over.
Miracle painting,
miracle show time,
This magical brush stroke has already entranced you,
But I still want to give you more of my colours.
Please don't end it yet, miracle painting,
A technique full of captivation,
There are still more final touches I need to apply, so please wait,
Then I will tell you, from the bottom of my heart,
I love you~!

My will not to break down brought me here ...
Impatience is becoming stronger,
My mind becoming so unsorted.
Can't wait till He walks along with me,
The feeling that hes by me.
When the sky's dark,
All dogs come to bark.
When the stars are out,
Or when the clouds create a blackout.
Raising freshness through air,
No one is to despair.
Atmosphere abundance ,
Till next morning leaves come to dance.
By that time me and him will be after trance,
Of being together,
Possibly in romance.
A new commence.
Being together,
I wish not to rush,
All I need is him next to me.
The rest will sort itself.
I have no doughs to knowing if it's worth,
It's an opportunity ...
To make best of it I need confidentiality.
I must although be myself,
Without stress without planning.
Just letting the beauty of moments go flying.
Smile if any awkwardness..
Stick to his Lovely Sweetness.
I'm going crazy,
Without him I'm hazy.
Often covered in thoughts,
I end up being called lazy.
It's not his bad influence,
But my feeling of loneliness...
Once I meet in a couple of days,
I will realise if he got the keys,
To unlock the futures beauty rays.
See if me and him can stand up tall,
Be there for each other every call.
Although this all needs time to form.
No matter how easy or how much storm.
I don't lose strength in hope,
Brought me here to him.
Will keep guiding,
And I hope to keep on Thanking.

The Sun shines as gold, down the west Full moon is on the move, to rise in the east
When one gets to set,
The other begins to get
Birds are settling, into the nest Courteous caress of the breeze, is the best!
Sky is colorfully painted Many themes, this has hinted!
Stars are peeping up to glow Passage of time, added to their flow!
Strained soul sets to solace Stirred senses, suggests the romance!
I desire here, forever to stay As the mind fails, words to say!
When the lap of my love is lent as berth, This place becomes, a paradise on earth!

All of these feelings, how did they tipple?
A few weeks back I surely was ok...
Like dropping ice down on a hard nipple,
We could part ways now. Yet I still delay...
Am I still hoping we’ll find a way?
Fool myself with longing. We meet again.
A high and then depression? God, no way!
I reason the odds are I’d wait in vain.
Another tragedy? Another fall?
Oh please! I've been there. I won't surrender,
I'll bang my stupid head against brick wall.
I hear you sing, your voice is so tender.
These poems are alive and all that's left
Of you and me, magic, time together.
I want to know your flaws, you are a heft.
You deserve heart's front row seat forever.
How are you doing when you don't read me?
Get up with no note of me by your door?
Both of us are fragile so we agreed
Such intensity's killing us. No more!
Yet I'm willing to pay this bitter price.
We would meet again, we'd live the moment,
Obey the thirst. We would eat some plain rice.
Nothing fancy. Should I be a poet?
To glorify this lifetime of romance,
Mutual understanding that we had.
I felt it instantly. I grabbed my chance
To be accepted once your face was read.
Yes you are a bird of just my feather.
You read a lot, you sing and you compose.
Wish we'd find a way to be together.
Violets, lilies, orchids, ruby rose.
I’ll keep these intense verses to myself,
I will not disturb you with my presence.
I think of you while you are swamped with self.
We’re back to earth after glide in heavens.
