Movement of form in enigmatic space,
measured against the sun gives birth to time,
as heliotropic flowers seek grace,
echoing in all hearts as bliss beat’s chime.
It is said time and tide waits for no one,
save those lovers lost in each others eyes,
blurring boundaries as mind comes undone,
paving way for bliss magnetism to rise.
Memory records embrace and release,
within the lifespan allotted to us,
wherein mindful souls who flow on with ease,
dissolve time itself, aboard God’s bliss bus.
Time too is confined, to this realm dual,
which we exit, if love be heart’s fuel.
I look inside my soul and there you are
As beautiful as ever
Passionately whispering love words
Gently running your fingers through my hair
Caressing my thoughts, tenderly whispering
I love you my dearest one
Love of my life, where have you been
Don't you know I've been waiting for you
No matter... you are beside me now
Your scent of jasmine is driving me wild
Taking me to a far off romantic place
Just the two of us... alone
Not a soul to break the spell
This magic spell of romance
Of utter devotion, of caring
Days are brighter, night skies have more stars
Gazing at the heavens as one
Dreaming dreams, lost in each others embrace
Never, ever wanting the moment to end
Knowing our love will last for eternity
Through all the trials and tribulations
That this life can throw at us
Because for the very first time
I now know what real love is
I will never forget you my love
You have my heart in the palm of your hand
Please treat it gently
I am yours for eternity...
When did we become that old married couple, too busy to live
everything we do is for others we give give give...
The kids are away on a summer retreat
there are no schedules we need to keep
The weekends free all our work is done
it's just the two of us time for fun
Let's get lost, lost in each others charms
discovering again how we first fell in love
Let's get lost, lost in each others arms
dwelling together embraced in love
Turn off our phones, time for us alone
lock the door leave on the lights
It's time for a little naughty delight
Tomorrow will come soon enough
but for today let it be for us
Our time alone is precious and few
let's share this chance and make it new
Have I told you lately I love you
let's show each other how much we do
Let's get lost, lost in each others charms
discovering again how we first fell in love
Let's get lost, lost in each others arms
dwelling together embraced in love...
Agape Hill
When the silvery moon drips Ouzo,
And our chilled glasses are angelically full.
May I ever wanton be~and hope our desires,
forever to fulfill!
My red, long, hair ~ flowing with gleaming
golden-hues,
A star-filled sky above us,your smile so
adoringly bemused.
We collapse happily, high on our hill.
Be star-still this night, lost in each others
twinkling eyes.
Lovingly quiet and oh, so very still.
Shhh...
Hush...
Promise to tell no soul of our secrets.
High on love on Agape Hill!

Poem # 1,299
O God!
by Qateel Shifai
loose translation by Michael R. Burch
Torture my heart, O God!
If you so desire, leave me a madman, O God!
Have I asked for the moon and stars?
Enlighten my heart and give my eyes sight, O God!
We have all seen this disk called the sun,
Now give us a real dawn, O God!
Either relieve our pains here on this earth
Or make my heart granite, O God!
***
Hereafter
by Qateel Shifai
loose translation by Michael R. Burch
Since we met and parted, how can we sleep hereafter?
Lost in each others' remembrance, must we not weep hereafter?
Deluges of our tears will keep us awake all night:
Our eyelashes strung with strands of pearls, hereafter!
Thoughts of our separation will sear our grieving hearts
Unless we immerse them in the cooling moonlight, hereafter!
If the storm also deceives us, crying Qateel!,
We will scuttle our boats near forsaken shores, hereafter.
You, the loving helmsman of this
Pounding heart.
Who was your slave from the
very start.
I,am not feeling well today.
Bring your flickering flames
enclosed in your Herculean body,
To warm me, please do.
Hold me close to your amorous chest,
And let's get lost in each others space!
To travel and traverse the Universe
On a starship purely run on kisses.
You, helmsman of this this wanton
heart,
Keeper of my fragrant kisses,
You~ the dream of all my dreams
And my soul's deepest, most divine wishes.
With my deepest love,
Panagiota

Let's go on a journey
Into the great unknown
Close your eyes and trust in me
Relax and let go
We're laying on a beach at night
Just you and me in bright moonlight
Stars are shooting across the sky
Landing wherever their hearts desire
Listen to the ocean waves
Crashing hard against the rocks
Slowly receeding without a thought
Keeping rhythm, natures dance
The air has a slight chill
Making our skin cool
That's when we must embrace
To keep each other warm
We look into each other's eyes
Getting lost in each others glance
The rest of the universe doesn't matter
Momentarily it does not exist
I pull you in so closely
You shyly pull away
I lay a kiss upon your lips
Suddenly I'm awake
Was this as real as it felt
Or was it just a dream
Either way it felt so good
Having you there with me
Ensnared in your gaze
My eyes caught in a haze
Tangled in a web of fire
My heart blinded by desire
Dancing in strobe lights
Feet enslaved to the night
In your arms I'm a beast
On your lips lies a thief
Stealing every moment off your tongue
Kissing you
Like I've found my lover lost at sea
When am with you I can't stop smiling
Like kids running in the sun
I gave you my body
You gave me your heart
I took away your pain
You brought me to the altar of desire
Crawling on hands & knees
Towards your bed
Setting sail on a voyage
Of two bodies lost at sea
Whose friends & family will never see
Till we resurface from the sheets
Our hearts lost in each others sea
Lying on an island
Bodies locked in heat.
others say there are no more pages
in our romance novel
but we just keep writing beautiful songs of the heart for each other
endings and beginnings
places others don't dare go
to get lost in each others gaze
as the sun and moon walk over the sky holding hands
we keep dancing in the ballroom long after the music stopped
while the night fades away
cause your heartbeat is all i hear
to dance moonlights glow wrapped your arms
cause you make me crazy with dreamy eyed memories
to live moonlights dream wrapped in your eyes
all the nights mysteries to show themselves to me
to be found only by you at long last
so we can run fast and laughing in the fall leaves
so we can breath quick in lovers embrace
wrapped in each others heartstrings
cause you are my song
and im ready to sing
I look inside my soul and there you are
As beautiful as you've ever been
Passionately whispering love words to me
Gently running your fingers through my hair
Caressing my thoughts, tenderly whispering
I love you my dearest one
Love of my life, where have you been
Don't you know I've been waiting for you
No matter... you are now... here beside me
Your scent of jasmine fills the air
Taking me to some far off romantic place
Just the two of us... alone
Not a soul to break the spell
This magic spell of romance
Of utter devotion, of caring
Days are brighter, night skies are starrier
We gaze at the heavens as one
Dreaming dreams, lost in each others embrace
Never, ever wanting the moment to end
Knowing our love will last and last
Through all the trials and tribulations
That this life can throw at us
Because for the very first time
I now know what real love is
I will never forget you my sweet lady
You have my heart in the palm of your hand
Please treat it gently
I am yours for eternity...

Walking together hand in hand
down the country road together.
We have no place we need to be
just enjoying each others company.
Sharing our thoughts on everything.
Knowing that this is where we want to be,
together lost in each others thoughts.
It is magical in some ways we speak and
think so much a like.
It is as though you dropped out of the sky
one day I was lonely than you came.
We both love the animals that seem to find their
way to my house and they are unafraid.
We laugh when we walk together and it rains we
have no umbrellas to keep us dry but it's okay.
There ahead is a tree with big leaves we run laughing
taking shelter than we embrace and the our love
for one another explodes no shame, no guilt.
Walking together hand in hand down the
country road heading back to home.
Both silent in our thoughts but knowing we love
each other until Death takes us away.
I'm walking between raindrops without getting wet..
I'm building a sand castle we can climb before it sets..
There is a seal around my heart that can't be broke..
There is a master piece on this canvas without a stroke..
The feeling from love can lift your spirits to another level...
The loss of a smile can only be the work of the devil...
Lets grab some light and get lost in each others souls..
Lets tumble down a pile of pillows and let the story be told..
We can shower in the rain and watch the moon pour over us...
We shall lay as one and see the sunrise capture our morning lust..
As we then have black coffee on the floor as our eyes are craving more..
A beautiful spring late afternoon, sitting at
that cafe lost in each others' thoughts..
Sipping espresso tasting the warm nutella
pastries as my eyes are caught...
Sweet walks down the street, window shopping
with your hand in mine...
A glance or two just to see your smile...
Looking for quiet place to hold you for awhile..
Dinner is soon as sitting on the bed,
watching you get ready and not a word is said..
As you brush your hair and see me on the side...
My eyes are locked from this beauty that can't hide...
Graceful and classy as you slide into that dress..
My desire and love are like a slow move in chess..
I take you by the hand and hold out your chair...
The world could be collapsing and I don't have a care..
As dinner is served your beauty fills the room...
Your voice so intoxicating I'm lost in your tune...
Our night is magical as we get lost as one..
So sweet memories in my heart that are never done..
They laugh as we hold hands share a sweet soft kiss
or how we get lost in each others eyes ,
"It's love" we say as they smile "and we wish the you the same,"
"I know it's 22yrs later....
you should of seen us when we were younger."
We're just two ships at sea
Passing through the night
And with each gentle breeze
We'll make it come out right
As we sail closer by
We catch each other's eye
You and I alone in a sea of humanity
Won't you come and port with me?
There lost in each others arms
Lighted by the silvery moon
We discover love once more
Strangers on a lonely shore
Caress me once again
Gaze into my eyes
No secrets do we share
Nothing about our lives
Just holding each other tight
Fighting the loneliness of the night
If our love is wrong
How could it feel so right?
And before the dawn breaks forth a new day
We'll set sail on our separate ways
Never to know if we shall meet again
Never to have asked those thoughts we held within
So kiss me once more before we leave
Touch my face with your hand
And let us make our way back to distant lands
Just two ships, alone at sea
