Long Two hearts Poems

The Tender Weight of Her Sighs
by Michael R. Burch

I can still hear the cracking sound swirling around 
And the night dancing to its own rhythm

at night, stress drains my restless soul
the wrongs have no delay

hope laid by things...

Aroused now as a lamplight on life's road
This ember's torch burns still from our desire
With gleams of memories from love bestowed
as we journeyed in wondrous enchantment
I've kissed you...

Sights are far but our minds are close
two hearts share one inhale with one nose
stage acts are for her even the pose

When we have a loving relationship
Life gets in the way
The pressures of work money worries
Piles of unpaid bills
Not enough time for each other
The relationship erodes and folds
You try but you go separate ways

And two hearts beat as one
To the rhythm of a tune they call their own.
The gold and platinum vinyl spins
Creating the sound where love begins.
If only for the moment, they have...

In the heart of the Carolina mountains
There lived a boy whom she adored
He was kind and clever and gentle
She couldn’t ever imagine a beloved
More wonderful or pleasant

Racing, like the winds breathless
Whisper, through the oaks, the pines,
Forest’s redemption – erasing the melancholic
Fading stars, glazing a summer sky,
Embracing the mystery of two hearts,
Two lives, pressed together – like petals,
Saved...

A dream is a wish the heart makes,
And the moment I saw you
My heart wished you to be mine
So to say that you are my dream
Would be merely stating the truth,
But only in it=s rawest,...

The last time we smile into another’s...

But please don’t let my feelings trouble you;
I do not...
