One silenced February morning,
strolling through the barren fields
he glimpsed amongst mangled thorns
a flicker of dull yellow,
its smiling eyes and flashing grin
a mellow beacon in the grey.
Despite weathered petals and the weight of snow,
its face still yearned to feel the sun's warmth
searching for the rays to break its icy cocoon.
In generosity he marched over,
clasping its petals in his hands,
feeling the ice melt and slip away,
fondling gently the softness underneath.
In satisfaction he sauntered onwards,
his footsteps ringing merrily on the frozen earth
continuing through the fields and frost
toward the roaring hum of the removal van.
One summer many years later,
as the click of a walking stick
rattled wearily along a muddy path,
an old man returning to his childhood
looked up to see, in shock,
a field of sunflowers,
laughing and swaying in the breeze.
Loves hand is outstretched, asking me to walk and talk, making me feel so near.
Love wants me to go and never leave, but love sometimes has to grow and weave.
Love is like a thread and grows and grows till it reaches the stars above, then it shines for all to see, making the light that only true love can make.
Love, your hand is so strong, and I feel you hold mine with all your divine love.
Always and forever, my love, our shining love is bright like a light guiding us through all of this life.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
Just one last kiss, my little stotty-cake!
You are my cate, my sweetmeat, dainty dish.
Be happy, hinnie, for your "Old Man"'s sake.
You've made me happier than I could have wished.
My sugar dumpling, custard, treacle tart!
Let's part with smiles, and try to hide the ache.
It couldn't last - we knew that from the start.
For us, there'll be no happy ever after.
Go off, embrace your future. Love and thrive.
This thing, this fling, was just a young girl's dream.
It was a pudding "de nouvelle cuisine"
- that's short and sweet - but how we raised the rafters!
Remember me. And, (if I'm still alive!)
I'll often think of you with love. And laughter.
the moon whispers your name
heard so gently amongst the glittering stars
ah… sweetness of a kiss

My love has shadows, they are dark like a moon, they turn day by day, leaving their mark.
My love has never shown me the dark side, but I feel it from afar.
Like a calendar every moment in time has stories it tells.
Stories of love and hate, the thin veil between time and fate.
Like the moon wants the day and the sun burns the dark away, my love has the struggles with the shadows each day.
My love is so sweet, like the berries on the vine, they fill me with sweet divine.
My love also has a shadow, that is like the lion, and will roar, when needed.
My love is strong and works for good, not giving into the evil doers.
Life has shadows, we all can see and feel, so pray and love each day.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
I remember a moonlit kiss
you and me seeking immortal bliss
I can feel my pulse in my fingertips,
like my hands are trying to escape.
Do I lean in? Do I lean back?
Please don’t let me stumble over my own feet.
My heart is doing that ridiculous thumping thing.
Why does it feel like the world is waiting?
Should I say something? Something clever?
No, just stay quiet, it’s fine.
Just breathe…oops, too noticeable.
Why is everything suddenly so tricky?
Your eyes are so close, almost too near.
Okay, maybe not, maybe it’s the perfect distance.
What if my lips are awkward? What if I taste strange?
I’m panicking, yes, in every corner of me.
I tell myself stop, act normal… but my pulse gives me away.
“Hey… is everything okay? You seem nervous.”
I nod too fast, my thoughts scattering everywhere.
I want to laugh, I want to crawl under a rock.
I feel like I might float or fall all at once.
My eyes dart everywhere, but you’re right here, holding my hand.
And then it happens, gentle, hesitant, soft.
Our lips meet, and my stomach flutters.
It’s awkward, it’s funny, it’s perfect in its messiness.
I think, maybe this is how first kisses are meant to feel.
And I secretly hope it never ends.
It was written on your body
written in your soul
to keep them all laughing
keep their small minds whole
you painted over it
you take it as it is
living off a captured kiss
to keep the neat bow tied
inside on a friday evening
what is it achieving
I know you want the relief
I tell you the secret
so don't forget
the night’s not over yet
When our lips meld in passions kiss,
we gather highs from nirvana's bliss.
Said you could
Hold it; hold fast
Hold me
That you weren't
Scared
Said the storms
Were worse at sea
That you saw
The sadness underneath
That you loved
The taste of smoke and ash
Of the flame
That burns through
Me
Lovely to behold, the curves
Inviting to be kissed, touched
Pretty quickening my nerves
Sweet nectar when our lips clutched.
your stroke to my red lips is bliss
then, you whisper love you with a kiss
Yes, she knows me, she’s known me from the start
Soulmates throughout eternity, she knows me in her heart
She knows the words my heart would say
And knows the thoughts I think each day
She sees my smile and knows its cause
And feels my love without a pause
She knows the joy that we feel
When once again we’ve topped a hill
And all the love when we embrace
When we have finished a 5K race
She knows I love her for her mind
Unique, intelligent, the creative kind
I promised a life of love and adventure
But that first kiss of her hand was the heart-melding clincher
Passion burns in a tender kiss
souls unite in glimpse of divine bliss
My Breath, my love, you are always here in my thoughts and in my heart. I feel you near and how you care.
Your love is like the breath of air; it flows back and forth into my life like we are one.
Love I can feel you near, hugging me like only true love can.
Feeling you kiss me makes me feel so happy it makes me smile all through my day.
Love you are so sweet, my shining star, you make me so happy I could weep tears of joy.
Walking hand in hand through this life, makes me know that all of my life is alright with you by my side.
Love is like the feeling that we feel, it is like the love from God that brought us here. It shines so bright in our heart and mind that we feel it with just a thought of the one we love so dear.
Loving you is so much fun, it has brought me a feeling that is better than any other love. Your love makes me feel anew, and makes me want to try all things new.
Loving you is like fresh snow, it feels so pure and new, making me want to feel you close all through the moments in life.
Love like ours that shines so bright, making its way like the morning light, gives me the feeling of you by my side.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
