Silently love creeps into place
casting fast shadows in the hall
that if ignored, extend their sprawl.
Cupid twirls to ambush our space.
When our quit-dreams sit unprepared,
then love commands its stand declared.
With naught to influence love’s grace,
it does seem we will never learn,
thus, love blocks our wish to discern.
Love will not move at our dreamed pace.
It stays us baffled and confused.
Our heart issues keep love amused.
Love flies high when two find embrace
so, love repeats its own story
to mesh within heights of glory.
Soft as love’s own silky, stitched lace
are thankful, joined hearts for love’s prize
as time customized to surprise.
Silently love creeps into place
cupid twirls to ambush our space.
With naught to influence love’s grace,
love will not move at our dreamed pace.
Love flies high when two find embrace
soft as love’s own silky, stitched lace.
Whenever my eyes rest upon your lips,
I cannot help but wonder—
perhaps God conceived sin itself
only to reveal
the unbearable beauty of forgiveness.
Within the quiet curve of your neck,
I could surrender every fragment of my pride.
Who could have imagined
that a man's defeat
might possess such astonishing grace?
Had I never found you,
I would have remained forever ignorant.
Your fragrance travels through me
faster than blood remembers its own course.
And then I cease to be merely human—
I become nothing more
than one endless breath,
aching for the miracle of your nearness.
Whenever you stand close enough
for silence to breathe between us,
every language ever spoken on earth
forgets its alphabet
before the gentle warmth of your skin.
I no longer wish
for the passing luxury of a single night.
I long instead
to dissolve, slowly and completely,
into every breath you take,
until nothing remains of me
except the quiet echo of your existence.
For love is never born within the heart.
It first sets fire to the eyes;
then teaches the lips
the sacred discipline of silence;
and at last,
it strips the soul so utterly bare
that one can no longer hide
even from oneself.
A smile on her face and a gleam in her eye - From the poem Batter up, by Eve Roper
I was a late bloomer when it came to girls, but when the bug hit, I fell in and out of love more often than any college young man had a right to. Working part time and half way through college, I had grown weary of one broken relationship after another. It was in the middle of the summer of 70, and I didn't know it, but my frustrations and weary days of romance were about to end.
I had seen faces of all kind, many of which turned my head and my heart. Faces that both arrested and tested me, but in the end, I fail the test. But never whining over spilled milk, I wiped it up and moved on, leaving the heartbreak and accepting each experience as another lesson learned. But this face was totally different, one that relates very well to a line I read from a poem entitled, Batter Up, by Eve Roper-"A smile on her face and a gleam in her eye ".
Moreover, it seemed from the start that this time, I was captured. It all started the first day I laid eyes on her as she was a face full of smiles, and although she was not smiling at me, it was the smile that arrested and captured me, rendering me a willing hostage for nearly 50 years. I tell you, it was that smile on her face and gleam in her eyes that said to me, "She's the one".

When I was coal you mined my soul
and treasure there you found:
a heart, stone cold, but solid gold,
was buried underground.
So long I hoped and blindly groped
for rescue by the brave;
from skulking fears and sour tears
that haunted my dark cave.
The sifters left my heart bereft
of airy thoughts and dreams;
in all their toil, neglected soil,
but splashed in barren streams.
The dirtied face of my disgrace
you polished with your sleeve;
your zeal above mere heartfelt love
in silken arms we'll weave.
My luster bright in dawning light
forever shall I owe,
to she who dug beneath my shrug
and found the golden glow.
“I will always love you”, she breathed
“against the wind” – then she told him,
This is “more than a feeling”…
His “heart and soul” spoke, and he said,
“There ain’t no mountain high enough”
To keep me from you, my “Kentucky woman”,
“You light up my life” with your smile
“You oughta know”…
At times, I can be “hard to handle”
But “I can see clearly now”
“You belong to me” and even though,
“You can’t always get what you want”
“this love of mine” is forever,
“Put your arms around me, honey”
“And the angels swing”
“And the green green grass grew”
“And Her tears flowed like wine”
And, He said, “Before the next teardrop falls”
You know “I can’t stand the rain”, and though
“I can’t give you anything but love, baby”
Oh, “I love you truly”
And, “I wanna be loved by you”
So, let the “good times roll”
My “funny girl” – Take me “Far, far away”
With you, “I feel the earth move”
And even if “it makes no sense at all”
I know this love isn’t “make believe”
“Oh, yeah, it feels so good”
“Oh, pretty woman”…
This is my “once in a lifetime”
And I’m “pledging my love” to you
So just like “Romeo and Juliet”
“we’ve only just begun” our story
Yes, my girl, “we’re gonna make it”
And she said, “what a wonderful world”
Just “stay with me” “Louisianna Man”
This “love changes everything”
“for once in my life” “everything’s okay”
Because, just like I already said,
“I will always love you”!!!!
Song Titles:
I will always love you
against the wind
more than a feeling
heart and soul
there ain't no mountain high enough
Kentucky woman
you light up my life
you oughta know
hard to handle
I can see clearly now
You belong to me
You can't always get what you want
This love of mine
Put your arms around me, honey
and the angels swing
and the green green grass grew
and her tears flowed like wine
before the next teardrop falls
I can't stand the rain
I can't give you anything but love, baby
I love you truly
I wanna be loved by you
good times roll
funny girl
far, far away
I feel the earth move
it makes no sense at all
Make believe
Oh, yeah, it feels so good
Oh, pretty woman
Once in a lifetime
pledging my love
Romeo and Juliet
we've only just begun
we're gonna make it
what a wonderful world
stay with me
Louisianna man
love changes everything
for once in my life
everything's okay
Though everything seemed the same,
We appreciated the differences which came.
Love was no longer in the air, but became rain,
Pouring down, washing away all of our pain.
Seemingly everything had suddenly changed,
But even then we’re still both slightly deranged.
Love was no longer so difficult to be found,
Rather it’s always within ourselves, yet all around.
Though everything’s different than it used to be,
We finally have a love even everyone else can see.
Love no longer just once a feeling,
As we cherish this new beginning.
Seemingly nothing for us will ever be the same,
But we’re relieved of a sadness we believed we couldn’t tame.
Love truly all the more meaningful,
With these sincerest of words so plentiful.
Valentine's Day is a special time in just so many ways
It is an occasion to show your gratitude to the one you love by truly seizing the day
A candlelight dinner for my lady I must make before she comes through the door
A beautiful bouquet adorns the table with rose petals spread out on the floor
A bottle of her favorite wine awaits, and her taste buds set to enjoy
Romantic love songs are all queued up and ready to deploy
Upon her arrival home, she will be met with a long embrace and hugs and kisses galore
I will tell her how special she makes me feel and could not ask for anything more
For the evening hours, a couples massage I have arranged
Upon return home, a romantic movie is to be watched, with lots of cuddling to be exchanged
My life would not be complete without her by my side
Thank you for being a part of this magnificent magical carpet ride
"You're my Heart." Juliette Barnes to Avery Barkley in a scene from Nashville. A complicated and sweet love story.
A sweet love song ballad.
You're my Heart
By Michelle Morris

I'd never known true love
I guess it eluded me until now
But you're the one I want
Thank you for sticking around
You're everything that's good
In my oh so crazy life
You've endured and understood
Every step of the way
Despite the complications
Despite the rocky path
I'll love you for always and forever
Because: You're my Heart
I'm so happy to have found you
Underneath the Darkness of my Life
I'm so happy that we made it
And that I'm your loving wife
You're everything that's good
In my oh so crazy life
You're my favourite happiness
We made our Magic and Miracles
Despite the complications
Despite the rocky path
I'll love you for always and forever
Because: You're my Heart
Despite the complications
Despite the rocky path
I'll love you for always and forever
Because: You're my Heart

A rose grows from my heart.
Its roots run deep into my veins.
Its petals of golden crimson
Bring pleasures to my being.
Its stem of thorny spears
Calms my many fears.
Protects my soul from temptations,
No need for explanations.
Ravishing its fragrance.
Intoxicatingly divine.
As from the pages of Genesis
Drifts far into my senses.
The beauty of a rose.
Likened to Juliet’s prose,
Savors romantic favors
In multitudes of flavors.
Likened to new found love
Awash in blissful lust.
The serenity of the aged
Who perch on evening steps.
Poetic phrases grace
The many pages
Of the love
I have for thee.
Blessed is the love that
Grows from deep within.
I’ve never felt this way before.
The joy comes from the depths of my soul.
I don’t know how to explain this feeling.
It’s a feeling that is beyond words of description.
I’ve never imagined so much passion from the heart.
It’s almost like I’ve been set on fire with a thought.
All my best dreams are coming alive in the moment.
When I spend the days with you, I’m all that God inspired.
I’ve never expected to be so alive in my spirit.
It’s like my dreams are burning bright within me.
When I feel like reaching out to another heart I know…
The compassion within is truly stirred up by your love.
I’ve never been someone to share my deepest feelings.
With you, I can’t do anything but be vulnerable and helpless.
It’s as if you’ve taken me into a new dawning of acceptance…
Completed my need for someone to recognize my depths.
I’ve never known another soul that could ignite my fire.
Your love encourages me and reassures me with all it inspires.
With you, I know that I am someone who loves without conditions…
And I want to give to you… my heart, my hope, my deepest feelings.
I’ve never been more certain of my love for another.
With you, my prayers for true love have found true meaning.
I know that you are the one who God sent to free my soul…
Making me into a heart that knows joy beyond all thoughts.
I’ve never loved this way before in my entire life.
With you, love that is true enlightens my very soul.
You awaken my heart to dreams of truth that says it all…
With a word from the heart… love that knows no bounds.
I’ve never been more certain of another person.
My love for you is excruciating – it hurts to the core …
Reminding me why I can’t love more and more and more…
Because with you, I am giving all that I am for sure.
I’ve never known anyone in my life or story…
Who could reach me with their thoughts and dreams…
The way you can – with all the peace that there is,
Feelings that shed all fear and feelings that are oh, so real.
