True Lasting Love
Have I met you before?
Somewhere in time...So close,
I remember it from before.
You and I together,
Forever more.
I knew your eyes before they spoke,
An ancient bond that never broke.
Your voice, a song my soul once knew
Leading me back, home to you.
No longer searching, no longer blind,
For you are the one I was meant to find.
We were once two lovers,
Who keep on falling deeper in love.
Despite the distance far between us,
Our love grows stronger, intense, enough.
Two hearts, moving in one rhythm,
Every beat gently written within.
On a cold night,
By winter’s pale touch in Belgium,
Our bodies’ warmth dances
In the lyrics of passionate love.
Oh, when you kiss me,
I feel fire on my lips.
I love that tender press
Pulling me into your hips.
I open my eyes,
We lay bare on the floor.
Our bodies close,
Our souls colliding
In a breath we shared
Without restraint.
As I touch your pretty face,
I feel romance growing deeper still.
You pull me closer, hold me near,
Our bodies answering love’s will.
We move toward a union of souls,
Where love needs no name.
In the hush of this cold Belgian night,
We found a communion of desire and flame.
Now we know this love is real,
A love that’s meant to last.
Gunther and Grace—
A story of intense love,
Written in the past,
Living in the now,
And promised in the future.
too quickly the paragraphs of time we rèad.
hand in hand we strolled the pages of our years
standing fast against misfortunes we emerged
shaped by caring and forbearing hearts
refusing to imagine life devoid of one another
time, years, emerged caring life.
Creeping in the shadows
Keeping it from bad hoes
Reaping in the benefits
Keeping em in to it
Fall in to the zone alone
All the The road to grown
Call on that phone at home
stall on that stone to loan
Cash only gets em more bread
Fast money money on a dead nickle
Ya they tread sickles
Homie they swing swing hammers
They spree planners
they movers they shakers
Snakes making on a fake cure
waiting for those lastest rate to drop
Haters and Fakes that you know you like
I got the mic your wants to sing through
Big part of my life that I been through
Next part itsl all passion
They call castin for big chunk,
Im mall smashing for fresh kicks
Im fall fasting to last in the mix
Silky sunsets surrender to sweet serendipity's sway
As soulmates stumble upon each other's shining way
Tender touches tantalize, tempting tender hearts to stay
In tender tranquility, where true love's torches sway
Luminous laughter lingers, a lovely, lingering sound
As lovers' lips lock, lost in love's lush, lavish ground
Gentle gazes glide, gathering glimmers of golden light
Illuminating the path, where passion's pure delight
Whispers weave a wondrous web, a warm, welcoming space
Where words of wonder whisper, "You are my perfect place"
Softly spoken sweet nothings, a serenade so divine
A love so strong, so steadfast, forever intertwined
Forever's flame flickers, a fiery, fervent beat
As two hearts harmonize, in perfect, passionate repeat
In this love so true, so tender, so tantalizingly bright
Two souls surrender, swept away in love's sweet, shimmering light.
You’re not a prince or warrior but a man,
And yet I find you all of these when you take my hand.
Your gentle touch and warm embrace,
Take me to another place.
Where sorrow no longer exist,
It fades away in a gentle mist.
Where I can soar above the mountains and touch the sky,
And gently wipe the tears from my eyes
Here two worlds come together and be,
A lasting love for eternity.
REAL LOVE
If you are looking for love
But in all of the wrong places
You'll find it is all in vain
And often brings hateful spaces
```````````````````````
The enemy sends you a “love”
Which takes you down a dark lane
Then brings nothing but....
His bitterness and shame
`````````````````````
So look for the higher love
That originates in glory
Which will give you peace and joy
So you won't end up being sorry
```````````````````````
This world is full of such victims
Of lust and shame and pain
Yet if you set your aim higher
You will never be the same
``````````````````````
For there is a Savior in heaven
Who knows your real need
He will give you a lasting love
If upon His Word you will feed

the lasting love
He gets up early to check his blood sugar level
it can be too low in the morning, it's half a banana
and make a toast, drinks coffee
The nurse, supplied by the social services arrive
at eight, to help his wife have a bath, comb her hair
and give her the pills needed.
Last night she had been her old happy self, but
held his hands, fearful he should slip away again
they had laughed and spoken of the old days
They had met at a dancing restaurant, "Argentina"
danced the tango so well, other people applauded
after this, they had become, as is said, an item.
65 years they had been married and always in love
to, perhaps, at the cost of their children who had
left long ago, with a busy career in the main city.
Today, if she is ok, they will drive to the coast
stop and admire the calm sea, for him seeing
so many oceans, see them as sleeping giants.
On a bad day, when she was lost asking the nurse
Who that strange man was; it’s your husband!
No, she says it can’t be true, he looks so very old.
You empowered me with your love
I stand above all assured
strength to start strong
and finish strong
that's how you have empowered me
steadfast
assured
confident in
my ability
you have empowered me to love
thank God you
have empowered me
Thank God that you love me
from then until now
Thank God that you love me
A love spoken
even when you aren't around
I brag to my friends
they tire from storied detail
I thank God you love me
It strengthen me to
always prevail
My great uncle and aunt had a fine love.
Uncle Clyde and Aunt Lucille were their names.
Over a decades times five was shared glue.
Two very different flows they overcame.
She was as soft as a ball of cotton.
He as rugged as the edge of a cliff.
Still waters and fierce currents went bobbin.
They blended together smoothly as if.
One hand held the other. both being gray.
For one, hospital bed replaced their bed.
Her sweetness still the weak smile of ray.
Then she was gone. would grief over run thread?
At her goodbye, he told me goodbye too.
Told me he had nothing more to pursue.
Our night, our walk, our song,
Our words, our voices talking all night long.
Into the next day we stayed - then sweet rain came.
Until the end of time we lovingly remain.

Your Best Four-Line Light Verse
L. Milton Hankins
My great uncle and aunt, had fine love.
Uncle Clyde and Aunt Lucille were their names.
Over a decade times five, was their glove.
Two very different flows they overcame.
She was as soft as a ball of cotton
He as rugged as the edge of a cliff.
Still waters and fierce currants went gotton.
They blended together smoothly as if.
One held the other's hand, both having gray.
For one, the hospital bed, replaced their bed.
Her sweetness still in the weak smile of ray.
Then she was gone, would grief over run thread?
At her goodbye, he told me goodbye too.
Told me, he had nothing more to pursue.

.
an oak leaf caught beneath my lover's shoe
It starts out and ends up with Love
for a partner you think the world of
Yet the middle poses daily tests
where the verdict of a marriage rests
To list all these tests would take a book
So let's just take the briefest look
At qualities you'll need in spades
To earn yourselves a passing grade
Acceptance I feel is number one
It keeps a marriage healthy, fun
Use it when you learn that 'perfection'
Is a goal wise couples shun
Next comes mutual respect, understanding
Never accomplished by grandstanding
Always respect each other's space and privacy
Know when hugs are needed, or a gentle "I see"
One last quality that's key is good cheer and optimism
Loving greetings and goodbyes - never negativism
Encourage, inspire and support; lend a helping hand
Cultivate all this and Love ~ even marriage can withstand
