As One


Warm soft sighs mingle
with dancing entangled heat
The essence of need
bears witness to the splendor
as two become one at last

(pronounced mik-fad'-yen)



I believe I'm in love with Matthew Macfadyen
He inspires in me a terribly bad yen
But as poetry goes
His name 'spires woes
Cause nothing rhymes with "Macfadyen"...

Love of a memory is all that remains
Still and captured in so many frames
Hope was forsaken because of my wife
I cast it aside that last day of her life

There are many things
I wish I could change…
In the way I look
In the way I feel
Where’s the magic wand?

Mood swings supreme
Too romantic
Head in a cloud
Very intense

PASSIONATE!!!
I give all:
heart, mind, soul

No Way
I’d change…….

ME!

Just a look
yet a torrent 
of hidden emotion

Just a smile 
yet a message 
of concealed affection

Just a touch 
yet an eruption 
of channelled passion

Lover #1

Like the birds and bees
the whisper of breeze on trees
scent of love abounds

Lover #2

The warm air kisses
sweet perfume drips from flowers
birds and bees enticed
dancing to a lovers scent
serenaded by the breeze.

sun deep down to sea
moon behind heavy dark clouds.... 
stars astray unseen


snowstorm prediction
reaching home before snowing
dream warm recesses
keep light driving darkness

Shining timelessness
Looking at the light
Sits an entity
Power that’s bestowed
Upon all that see

Love is lurking
Right on the verge
Which does complete
Its full greatness

For myself
Why oh why
Do I see

This love
It’s true

Sure

LOVE WITHOUT HOPE....She is  his love.


Since teens,his love for her is perennial,
Thorns for him,no rose,few petals gone frail,
His kismet,twin time for her was ephemeral,
Fragrance lives,loner harbours memories to sail.

Listen to poem:

I’ve flown the valleys
I’ve soared the summits
I’ve stalked the moon
That glitters in your eyes

I’ve walked the deserts
I’ve crossed the seas
I’ve kissed the sun
That shimmers in your eyes

In the cosmic consciousness thru the pillars of esoteric endless time
The Angelic realm is worried that mans love will soon cease to rhyme
What is love without hope but a void in the vastness of our malignant mind
The Angels silently scurry to find a cure thru the vortex of Nebulous Prime.

I awaken here,

my head upon your shoulder

to start a new day---

and the song of your heart beats

in perfect rhythm with mine


You sleep undisturbed
 
unaware that I watch you

My heart fills with love

for the boy I once married

and for the man you are now

Come pay homage to the
Holy Child Lord of all
Royal, majestic

Overrides all manner of sins
Validates the soul

Just one look at you
Tempting me, teasing me, tormenting me
I hate the feelings you evoke
Greed
Desire
Lust
Just want to hold you, devour you
I don’t want to see you go
But I can never resist the last chocolate in the box!

In the dark of night

on the edge of sleep

when rivers of doubt

flow into the streams

of self esteem

a lace of light

will remind me

to spread my dreams

with fresh insight --

I cannot

share my love

if I lose

sight of

loving

me

Wanting of a soul





Closer we came in love, for want of souls,
No trials, was sentenced a desired gaol,
Each breath in his detention renewed my life,
Vetoed cynicism, that put an end to all strife,
No wonder I didn't plead for a parole !

Who hasn’t heard of the notion
The secret recipe for love potion
Can detonate a frenzied explosion
While stirring carnal emotion
Wild winds setting in motion
The sails ablaze on blue ocean
Stars above burn in devotion
Igniting the spark of implosion
Catapulting a heart in commotion

Love is actually a dreamer's dream that's found
When hungry eyes find a warm emotional rush
And voices come to join and produce soft sound
So love's sweet breath can rest in a solemn hush
When tender hands hold tightly on sacred ground
As lips and tongues meld in their dance so lush
To feel love for someone it can overwhelm
Who yearns so unafraid in a fiery realm

Love happens unexpectedly all the time
It starts with a sudden deep intake of breath
Bids the heart to write a thousand odes in rhyme
Have us dream of it remaining after death
And pushes us to hear life's beautiful chime
But easily can it turn into a bloodbath
If both the lovers have no responsibility
Towards the blooming of their own sacred sanctuary!

Love Without Hope


She holds his passive face within her loving hands...

eyes meet...she warmly looks into dark emptiness.

Her staunch committed love, without hope, understands;

she's there for him throughout Alzheimer's loneliness.
