We never felt as wholesome and also so unholy
As that rare once in a lifetime chance he had tried to console me
While he was deeply kissing my soft, small hand oh so tenderly.

Where Should I Go

Where would I go
   when the world seems dark and unfriendly,
   when all that seems worth living is lost and gone,
   when love comes and passes only once in a lifetime?
Tell me,
   do you know
where should I go?

Happily Ever After

Some say “happily ever after”
only happens in movies.
That isn’t true, because I found you.
You are my once in a lifetime love,
my soulmate per say.
You are my happily ever after,
and I wouldn’t ask for anyone else.

Once In a Lifetime Break

S-tart grabbing the chance 
I-n going for sweet success; 
O-n the fifteenth of August, 
N-ever say no but 
Y-es. 

V-ictory under the sky 
I-s coupled with heartache; 
C-oal clouds can't hinder 
O-nce in a lifetime break.

Love like this just doesn't happen everyday...
Love like this is once in a lifetime...

Once In a Lifetime

Wine overflows 
my cup.

Only for
One night, 

I am 
Being treated;

an annual
holiday gift... 

I am king.

I wear 
his crown.

I model 
his clothes. 

I love 
this day. 

Forever may
it remain 

a blessing
to remember...

Wind Words

I wrote my love 
on a maple leaf
and mailed it into
the wind.
That's the chance 
I had in finding
my once in a lifetime
friend.
but the westwind
took it to you,
on a whisper 
and a prayer
and somehow
my heart knew you
would be reading it 
somewhere.

Lifetime Love

Loving you
My heart shining through
Day and night
I pray with all my might
You, you're the one
My sexy, hot, hon

Your love filled touch
Means ever so much
Take my heart
Tell me well never part
You're the one I've always dreamed of 
For once in a lifetime love

Premium Member Scattered Showers At Grand Canyon

Grand Canyon had never seen such a cloud.
once-in-a-lifetime kind of whiteness
dollops of whipped cream
topping like no other
before or since
the rain was gentle, like a kiss
I marveled that I was there
To see this rain cloud in person
No photo could have captured it.

Premium Member Once-In-A-Lifetime

Marie planned a fabulous holiday 
                   Looked forward to once-in-a-lifetime stay,
                                  Flashy bikinis in van.
                              She must get a lovely tan...
                    Left poor hubby sulking in great dismay!

Premium Member Dragonflies

Diving into the wind 
reaching for the sunlight, 
aglow with the fire of a thousand wishes 
granules pulse with prosperity;  
Once in a lifetime every time, 
negligent to think otherwise; 
Fiercely fleeting so grab it 
little dragonfly, 
invite sparks into the smallest moment; 
Electrify 
supersonic energy

My First Love

I will love again.
Maybe not as intensely,
Not as hard.

But I will love again. 
And that is what keeps me grounded.
What keeps me going…
I know that the way I loved you, 
Is a once in a lifetime kind of thing. 

But I will eventually love again.
Even though there is nothing like first love.

Premium Member That Face and That Hair

that face come along but once in a lifetime
once in decades
once in a generation
once in forever

I wondered if her hair was as soft as it looked
she was the epitome of youth personified
a jealousy slammed into my heart for a second

with that face 
and that smile
and that soft beautiful hair
I could have been somebody

Courageous

Being courageous can mean many different things.
Someone who is courageous does something great.
Something life changing.
Something unforgettable. 
A once in a lifetime kind of thing.
Someone who leaves a mark.
A doctor.
A veteran.
A dentist.
A teacher.
A best friend.
A mother.
A father.
A president.

In everyone's life there's one special moment A moment that will live on forever never to be forgotten My special moment occurred when I was fifty This amazing lady came into my life She will be remembered if I live till the end of time It was one of those “once in a lifetime” attractions Never to be experienced again

Premium Member Pink Noise Bob And Wheel

Hearing 
salt water symphonies; 
A strawberry six string 
leads the festivities
as the tide starts rising;

Ablaze, 
is it you or the Sun? 
Caught inside of a gaze,
this heat I can’t outrun;
A song played by sun rays;

Pink noise 
is once in a lifetime;
Wild surf my soul enjoys 
mixed with a twist of rhyme;
Seaside’s the mermaid’s choice.

Magical Potion

If once in a lifetime
love's potion is really strong,
be thankful for the gift,
and do no others wrong...

For love is a powerful feeling
that can bring as well as long,
and no other magical potion
can make us sing such a song...

So love with all your heart,
and give with all your soul;
for true love in a lifetime
is one's best desirable goal.

Its Over

It's Over
Once in a lifetime there's
the perfect man
his head up high but
he hides what's in his hands

Gulits, lies, and cheating
of course
I trace it all down to
the main source

The scared man that
use to stand up so tall
caught in his web of lies
he looks pretty small

As his life moves slower
and slower
it finally speeds up to
find out we're over.

Just Once In a Lifetime

J-ust once in a lifetime, 
E-ndless love hits unexpectedly; 
N-ever can anyone escape, 
N-or will it appear
Y-early.

L-ove comes just once in a lifetime, 
L-etting the heart beat so fast; 
A-llowing the eyes to see
N-othing but colors that may last.
E-arly September seventeenth, 
R-ight moment makes a rhyme; 
A-llowing the love to come just once in a lifetime.

Youth

Our youth comes once in a lifetime
And numerous are its schemes.
Book of beginnings without end
With its illusions and dreams.

We always remember our youth 
Never to return again;
We wish it could last forever 
Like the sea, the earth and wind.

Our youth we live just once
While it's hot, able and bold; 
There's plenty of time when it's gone
To be weak, cautious and cold.

Once In a Lifetime

What if you, yes you, won
a once-in-a-lifetime,
never again prize -
The biggest and best of them all?                   

Imagine your parents
bought the lucky ticket
and all other jackpots
look small.

Now perhaps there's an unknown
expiry date
by which time
your riches are spent

In the space in between
while you're king or queen
Would you make the most
of your lucky present?
