Premium Member A Treacherous Thread

Our love—a tattered tapestry in twilight torn,
Blood-stained vows, I ne’er should have sworn.
Yet still, I grasp the ghost of hope long dead,
Whilst my heart lies trapped in love’s unraveling thread.

Our past—a patchwork of promises loosely sewn,
A mosaic of miseries, lies I shouldst have known.
Colors once radiant now washed and bled,
As sorrow’s heavy tears soak each tender thread.

Our vows—etched upon withered parchment thin,
Sealed my fate with sorrow’s sanguine pen.
With futile needle I sought to mend,
The pale, torn veil of love’s forsaken end.

Our souls—once spun upon seraphim loom,
Star-crossed lovers ‘neath empyrean moon.
As fate’s spindle spins tenebrous threads taut and thin,
O’ how I yearn to weave us whole again.

But thou—unwind the tethered twine,
That once bound thy haunted heart to mine.
Where art thou now my false Valentine?
Lost in the warp where truth and treachery entwine.

And though thou hast sundered our seams apart, 
Thy name shall ever remain stitched in mine heart. 

—Edward

Premium Member My Wife Then Now Forever

Whispers in the wind bring forth to life bones of ribbons.
 Lifted to life from the ground,  from the seas 
 and into the air.
 Where it is your voice I hear in the current.

It awakens form to me 
and like that, we find one another again.
With ages passing, its time once more.
for me to exist…within you.

Ive waited in solitude
No substance, no matter, without form.
My only awareness is that of past embraces
and a longing for the next alignment of stars
to bring back to me that which was vanquished,
           long ago.

At one time we were without form.
Rightful stars in the black skies.
Lighting up the the earth for all to admire.
Another, you were the waves crashing upon my sand.

I have chased you my love,
throughout all eternity like thunder after lightning.
My embers to your fire, oceans to sky
     my soul to your spirit.

Dearest wife…
You channel within you a season of time,
and I within  me the breadth of space in which we,
           will be once more.

You come to me like rain to ground and 
             rivers to oceans.

Our enlightenment will fade as we form battles 
 against time. When we would no longer exist together
 in this present union and a time of waiting
         will once again oppose us.

However know.
I will wait endless cycles of the sun and search
throughout the galaxy for our reconcile
For life without you, is no life at all.

Fragrant the Petals

Fragrant the petals

Time moves so quickly
the sun comes to play
Caressing my thoughts
on this cold winter day

Soon it will follow
the path of my dreams
While looking for flowers
along gentle streams

A dozen or more
by the waters a’ flow
Fragrant the petals
this morning to show

That this day is special
as one I do care
Is waiting my poem,
my words here to share

For she says she’s never
it’s hard to believe
A Valentine message
her heart to receive

So here I have penned her
a wondrous bouquet
Of poetic flowers
so that I may say

You’ve touched me in ways
I have not known before
Inspired my smile, 
my laughter and more

So now I must ask you
if that would be fine
If you would agree to be
my Valentine
Form: Rhyme

Don't touch me

Don’t touch me.


Valentine of mine, why are you still crying?
Why are your skies so grey?  What is it you need me to say?
We used to be in love; it was meant to be the two of us,
But something happened and we crumbled to dust.
Whatever happened to our love?


You’re the girl with the saddest eyes;
You used to have the most beautiful smile.
I’m sorry I dragged your world into mine;
This is what happens when worlds collide.


Summer’s dead, winter’s every day.
We were young but we began to fade.
I guess time got in our way.
We were meant to grow better with age.


I’m a curse, your fatal disease.
You are pure, I’m on my knees.
I would save you from me, 
If I had the strength to fight my insecurities.
It’s my words they seep into this.
Relationships like this aren’t meant to exist.


We were never meant to meet.
I just dreamed and you became my wish.
I’m a Cancer, you’re a Queen.
I am bitten by your endless meaning.
Your existence is my purity.
You protect me.
I couldn’t save you from me.


Runaway before you fall.
Do not chase me, I’m so impure.
Leave now while you still can.
Love yourself and don’t accept the love of this man.


It’s my end, begin your way.
I have no light, no glory days.
Hear my words, don’t do as I say.
Release yourself from my heartbroken cage.


Be safe; find your own way.
Make yourself in make up face.
Hide your true being from my gaze.
Maybe then you will be able to escape.


I‘m bad luck and bad at love
And bad at singing and bad at good.
I am yours, do not be mine.
Banish me so I can watch you shine.

Premium Member Valentine

In his eyes – I see the sun rise
In his smile – I can sit a while
In his life – I learned to be a wife

When I dream of forever
We are always there whatsoever
Comes into our lives, our light
Silencing the darkest of night
Reminding us why we’re alive
Why we’ll continue to survive
Because this love that inspires
Burns with such pleasure, fires
That keep my heart bound to his
Forever, stirred by his kiss, there is
Music that comes to those who listen
Seeking the wonder with its glisten
Searching the heart and soul for love
That exposes kind spirits from above
Sweetening the feeling that binds us
Never weary, never creating a fuss
Leaving the miracle of a love that lasts
Through every fear that worry casts

When I dream of the way we’re connected
With a tenderness, affection that is reflected
In our lives – the kindness that we give away
With the love we share, the prayers we pray
The way we feel inside is uncovered in his embrace
The way he makes me feel is so full of grace
Roused by the gentle beliefs, the sincerity bringing
My heart to life, my spirit to light, his voice ringing
With the sound of a joy that consumes because
He is my husband, my valentine, the one I applause…

As the man I love more than I can possibly describe
With a love that can’t be bought – love I can’t bribe
With a love I celebrate every morning and every night
Love so amazing – so brilliant and wise – a love I must write
In words meant for him, the one who is my life – the one
Whose beauty and brilliance can’t ever be undone
This is the man I love more than I can possibly say -
With a love that I’m celebrating on this Valentine’s Day!

A Valentine's Prayer

1.
A Valentine’s prayer, it is a love song, 
from the gleaming stars, where we do belong,
together, we love, away from the throng.
You are the love that does sing in my heart, 
joy, from which I know, I never shall part, 
with you, I have always sung, from love’s start.

My Valentine, you do sing with love-light, 
your song is a prayer that lights my night, 
as in peace, we share joy, in love’s delight.

A Valentine’s prayer, we ever shall sing, 
together we dance, as love’s bell does ring, 
to passion’s altar, all our love, we bring.

Here in the night, our love, we do declare, 
as we sing again, a Valentine prayer.
2.
As we sing again, a Valentine prayer, 
I now stand before, a beauty so rare, 
my love, for you, I do ever declare.
Our love, sings its song, in joy so divine, 
together, we stand, within stars that shine, 
you are, forever, my sweet Valentine.

With every word of my Valentine prayer, 
I sing of your beauty, beyond compare, 
for your dear love, all, I would gladly dare.
Each night we do lie, before Luna’s gaze, 
in my Valentine prayer, I sing your praise, 
 shall love you for the rest of my days.

I shall now tend you, with such gentle care, 
as we sing again, a Valentine prayer.
3.
As we sing again, a Valentine prayer, 
deep into the night, within starlight glare, 
I shall love you, as we are lying there.
I see the love that does shine in your eyes, 
I hold you close, I am in paradise, 
you ever belong in the starry skies.

Together, forever, we flow along, 
our Valentine prayer, it is our love song, 
my beloved, together we belong.
You shall ever be, precious love to me, 
our Valentine prayer, sung in timeless sea, 
knowing that our love, it shall ever be.

We two, together, we ever belong, 
a Valentine’s prayer, it is a love song.

Even With Your Faults

Even with your faults
and surprising forgetfulness,
I couldn't refrain from writing this:
you are still loved as you always have been;
I've seen you at crossroads,
searching for another love when you were forsaken.
  


So sorry for the trails you endured by yourself... 
they were the many lessons of awareness
you had to learn to become the real you;
I stood back and watched how you handled your last crisis,
and may I extend my big congratulations to you:
for having been the courageous fighter who changed her demise?


On this Valentine card, I've drawn hearts and kisses:
the ones you deserve to taste on your flaming lips...
it's not that long when we burned with the wildest passion...
making love, breathing the evening air gentler than rain. 


Even with your faults,
I accept who you are, or what you did...
because no one is perfect as God is and who should judge
your actions that changed your fate and world?
Even with your faults,
nothing can change...you remain the darling of my young age.

Valentine Fatale

"Valentine Fatale"

Pull the violin
strings 
from the heart
like a corset undone
there the softest rose,
blood red plucked, 
the thorns played 
and petals cast 
as kitty discard
from the breast 
of a Valentine fatale
voluptuously falling
into the open arms
of Love, spilling
over into romance
like a broken dam
ripely held in the 
bow of cupid smile
passion full 
drawn into 
the delectable swim 
twirling swirling down
into the warm velvet
like moss, so green 
against reflective 
sapphire pools, 
the dangerous sea seen 
like an inviting ocean to kiss,
in such vastness taken,
the lost fast falling
thick panting eyes 
mirroring each other
in the dance,
like a waltz Viennese
Love, spilling over, 
like a broken dam
fallen, then, 
pulled back 
into the catch, 
netted and tangled up 
in the ropes of 
Rubenesque romance,
eye to eye
hand to hand,
a burning flame 
ripely held in the 
bow of cupid smiles,
incandescent 
fiery twin arrows,
the well lit,
seduction

(LadyLabyrinth/2023)

Premium Member A Misunderstood Valentine


                                                           A rose bunch heavy in my hand,
                                                         A card sent, did not reach the land,
                                                           My darling could not understand;
                                                                         I pray for my star,
                                                                     Stuck against the wall
                                                                         I dare make a call,
                                                                            No reply at all, 
                                                                      And yet here we are!



                                                                                                                                                                                      .

Our Valentine’s Day

      We are tied in a bond of fantastic friendship.
     We celebrated Valentine’s day, Two Thousand Sixteen.
      We love each other and honor our fellowship.

   We are chained together in close kinship.
   We are seniors, no running in sweet sixteen.
   We are tied in a bond of fantastic friendship.

    We loiter, we chatter, we laugh, we gossip.
    We care, we share, we talk, we listen.
   We love each other and honor our fellowship.

     On Valentine’s Day we opened Champagne, took long sip  
      We each cheered for our individual Valentine.
      We are tied in a bond of fantastic friendship.

     We went on cruise boarding a gorgeous ship.
     We tasted grilled prawn, ham in cozy canteen.
      We love each other and honor our fellowship.

      We were glad to watch a young couple on courtship.
       We bought heart shaped balloons red and green.
      We are tied in a bond of fantastic friendship.
       We love each other and honor our fellowship.
