Premium Member True Love Waits and the Reply

My dearest love, I hope this finds you well.
You said you needed time apart to think.
My world has shattered, and each day is hell
without you! Into nothingness I sink.  
I know how frightened you’ve been to commit
to our relationship.  And when you said
you wished to date around, I had to grit
my teeth! I think about you in the bed
of someone else! Oh, darling, don’t you miss
my gentle touch each morning when you wake?
I can’t accept the ending of such bliss!
Recall our many good times. For the sake
of all we had, I'm waiting, and I pray
that you will not throw everything away.

My love, I got your note and had to write
you back because I need for you to know
I think about you every day and night.
I look outside and see the falling snow
reminding me of those sweet moments when
we’d come in from the cold and then get warm
beside a fire, make love all night, and then
I’d wake to find you snuggled by my arm.
There is no one but you. and I was wrong
to leave you! Oh, Darling, please forgive me.
I’m coming home, and now it won’t be long
till I am in your arms. How patiently
you’ve waited! You have shown a love so true
I likewise pledge my lasting love to you.

Premium Member Acknowledgement

Next month, March, our young love will be alive
For one-half century plus two years; our love
Has stood through test which cause most to crash dive.
Our paths have gone to places undreamed of

Paths that we would not have traveled
One not very beaten down or worn path
Many of these journeys, we would have canceled
And would have left really fast.

God had a plan to weave us together
Creating unusual tapestry
On those grassy paths storms we have weathered
Drawing closer, love lasting, ancientry

Young love when first begun, hope, excitement
Half-century together love's acknowledgement

Premium Member Lasting Love

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

Premium Member Love Conquers All

We met at a reception just by chance.
Could it have been some sweet love at first sight?
I gave her a long penetrating glance
Orange hair, shapely cheeks and lips red bright.

I smiled, and invited her to dinner.
She accepted, and I felt elated
A lavish bistro, sure was a winner.
How grateful I felt that we had dated.

A bottle of white wine, and gourmet food,
Somehow we exchanged many of our views
Time came for us to part, but sad the mood,
She would not accept to meet, 'twas bad news.

I saw some tears that flowed down her sweet face.
I asked why, I had to really know
She was deaf an irreparable case.
She could only lip-read, life was a blow.

Gently I pushed her face next to my lips,
One loves despite all things that can be wrong.
We'll stay happy as written in our scripts.
Our lasting love will forever be strong.

Premium Member Held Hostage

I'm held hostage to a dream
A dream of what could be
A dream of you and me
and love's eternity

I'm held hostage to a dream
A dream that you can change
that fate can rearrange
our dommed reality

I'm held hostage to a dream
A dream that passion's kiss
Will heal what is amiss
Renew affinity

I'm held hostage to a dream
A dream of prefect peace
Of wounded pride's release
Regained vitality

I'm held hostage to a dream
A dream of lasting love
What hopes are all made of
A sweet comraderie 

This hostage must break free
I've finally come to see
To rewrite destiny
My savior I must be

Post Script...

I'm a hostage who's found release
Please, don't come looking for me.

God Loves You

God loves you more thsn you may know
God loves you and will never leave you or let you go
he will stand by you in your hour of need
he will give you comfort if yourt heart should bleed
he will give you strength to get you through
he will give you joy when you feeling sad or blue
he will be with you everywhere because he loves you
and he will always care
when you feel no one is around
you dont have to worry who to call or phone
for God will never abandon you
or leave you alone
in your journey of life in all that you do
God will always love you.


never will I leave you, never will i forsake you  Amen
I love you with an ever lasting love  Amen

Premium Member My Dream Date

Let us lose our hearts, within the heart of Nature, my love,
Let Eros and Aphrodite protect us from above;
These green leaves of the white jasmine trees whisper new romance,
Their shy buds, bloomed overnight, stealthily lay their first glance...!

The chain of blue hills and mountains embracing day and night,
Inspire us to walk together in our lasting love flight;
The evening sun hiding betwixt these spreads its golden rays,
Invite us to, midst hide and seek, must not miss our love ways...!

Red apples that tempted Adam and Eve quietly call,
Cherries and strawberries, and pomegranates attention haul;
Pigeons, parrots, and peacocks passionate night secrets share,
Mares and hares and foxes love their partners and, for them, care...!

Down the hills gold black blue blended sea waves and twilight kiss,
Drifting clouds their chats with the costume-changing sky don’t miss;
What could be a better date spot than this dearest sweetheart?
What else could our handheld walks and fervid embraces outsmart...???

Premium Member Glory of Her Magnificence

Oceans apart
buried under sandy shores,
a rare pearl slept comfortably
behind her walls.

Fate must have been kind,
for a common man like me,
to stumble upon her shell.
As I brushed away her debris,
astonished - my eyes could not believe
this beauty, revealed before me.

Spellbound - I could not help but stare,
stunned by the glory of her magnificence.
As she took one step forward,
unutterable sensations,
took a hold of my emotions.
Yet I remained motionless,
overmastered by this
majestic heavenly vision.

And I could have sworn it was a dream,
until the softness of her fingertips,
graced the imperfections of my soul,
and for the first time it felt perfect.
All of a sudden it felt like we were floating,
ascending towards a myriad of stars,
with the moon guarding us silently.

Stardust sprinkled with the sight of her smile -
how fortunate was I, to celebrate this artistry.
Her lips blossomed like flowers
as they succulently caressed mine.
Breathless,
without saying a word her eyes acknowledged
my vow for eternal devotion with ever lasting love.

The Old Rugged Cross

Surrender Me Oh' Lord, As I Sacrafice
Myself To Your Cross, Where You Once 
Layed Nailed By Hands n' Feet With No
Place to Go.

I Meant To Purify My Soul, Which Now 
Excludes My Sin For The Thorns Were 
Worn Apon Your Head Deep In Blood
Of The Lamb.

As Day n' Night Passed You Realesed Me
From The Pain, That Haunted You I Claim
To Return Along Your Words Of Survival.

Walk With Me Down This DeadEnd Road,
And Give The Power To Carry On In Your
Name: Oh' Lord.

Here Is Where I Want To Engage To Retrieve
The Undying Love That Was Taken From Me,
By A Selfish Deed.

Where You Can Cast It Out Apon Evil distructure
Into The Pit Of Hell, I Was Forgiven And Delivered From
All Convictions Of  Guilt Unto You.

I Will Rise Again With Ever~Lasting Love
And Joy For Life, Where It Has Become 
My Only Miracle...

Awhile

She said  she would be gone a little while.
Hours later white-coated figures
wheeled her gurney in. She did not come out.

Though I imagine her coming out
being pushed in a wheelchair
flowers in her lap smiling weakly,
as I held a car door upon.

She travelled further than a little while,
the grocery store raced down a long road,
she chased it for miles and miles
then what with the headlong hours
tumbling over berms and ditches
like flung away road kills
I had to at last consider the term ‘a while,’ 
and what it meant to her.

Did she ever feel that the ER staff
had been on high alert since she was born,
or perceive the gravity of ‘a while’
as she sat laughing each morning
with her friends in the coffee shop,
or when her last lover quit
being her lasting love?

She’s gone now of course,
but for me that ‘awhile’ seems to grow less
every year I keep on living,
holding her face inside my eyes
like a child yet to be delivered.
