Two hearts awaken to a single song,
A quiet promise they have known all along.
No borrowed dream, no passing fire—
Only the gentle rise of shared desire.
They move as rivers meeting at the sea,
Each finding more in what the other sees.
Not copies, but reflections softly cast,
Two souls embracing future, present, past.
Their love unfolds like blossoms after rain,
Growing stronger through both joy and pain.
Within its shade, no fear can take its place;
Only truth, and tenderness, and grace.
When silence falls, their eyes still speak,
A language only faithful hearts can keep.
Hand in hand, through every changing season,
They find in one another every reason.
So let the stars bear witness from above:
The strongest hearts are shaped by quiet love.
Two kindred spirits, timeless and free,
Writing forever what love was meant to be
"Be it more clearer implied here
Of soul, what is bonded
No closer are we
In reality".
Never a romancer's complaint
With such forlornness shed.
Cannot bring dream wife
Into waking life.
A love so deep, it is hard to express.
Whatever he wants, well, I just say yes.
I look forward to his calls, and texts all day.
I may be obsessed, some would say.
But he gives it all back, with love in his eyes,
We are in it together, the lows and the highs.
When we are apart, I think of only one thing
When we see each other, what joy it will bring.
We have been married so long, nearly 50 good years.
I would not change a thing, the laughter and tears.
I found my soulmate, and that is quite rare,
And thanks to God, for we are quite the pair.
Once I realized how much we are the same,
Feelings and impressions suddenly came
To the forefront of my own deeper awareness,
And then I recollected our bond's sacredness.
I see the traits of me nobody ever appreciated.
I see similarities to me in you, but understated.
I see what I would be like if not for my old pain.
I am remembering who I'm meant to be, again.
You see within me a certain kind of woman,
But I am slowly reprogramming till I know I can
Be that person both of us have been missing.
I am just finally realizing, processing, healing.
You're my ideal man, but I see a little boy too.
I feel your wounds that you somehow outgrew.
I show you my inner child and true character,
So you know you're never alone in any matter.
Your soul has shown me through your heart,
A loving, caring and kind part.
And from your mind it says to me,
Intellect and wisdom reside in thee.
And to your soul I do relate,
Experiencing oneness with my soulmate.
For no other presence has more blessed my life,
As having you as my eternal wife.
Two shall be one throughout eternity,
Sharing their love as it was meant to be.
In the light of love an adventure we’ll share,
With faith in our creator, we’ll never despair.
Life is for living, it’s not a test,
Just live in the present and do our best.
Don’t judge others, let them be who they are,
Let the spirit inside us be our guiding star.
We’ll live our life as one of the few,
By living life as we’re meant to do.
To love one another and always be true,
For truly we are one from what used to be two.
When winter comes it’s very cold
You’re always near for me to hold
In the summer when it’s hot
Your iced sweet tea sure hits the spot
Then fall arrives with blowing leaves
Hand in hand walking in the breeze
Spring brings beauty and hope in life
Just like you my soulmate and wife
TWO BECAME ONE
Distinct,
but complementary
the mutual fusion
flowed
in perfect harmony
as sensibililties
embraced
aromas of love
becoming
a revealed
bond
of
opposites
yet equivalent
the attraction
so natural
by
divine
magnetism
was sealed
inherent
within
the uniqueness
of husband and wife
in union
complete
as one
for life.
Tell me you want me
Tell me you need me
Tell me I’m beautiful
But don’t go away
Stay!
Say I love you
Say anything…
Say I’m worthy of your love
Say you support me!
But please don’t ignore me
Don’t leave me on read
Don’t diminish my light
Don’t fight against what’s right
Believe in us!
Believe in your success!
Believe we will prevail in our endeavors!
Don’t shut me out !
Let me show you what I’m about!
I live for here and now
I love you and it’s something I didn’t think possible
But I fell and fell hard I did
For no one other than you
My best friend
So tell me you love me
Tell me you’ll always be there
Tell me because if you do
Then it’s true
Because our love is as strong as the universe itself
So one last time
Say you’re mine and I yours
Our golden plateau,
Connecting password--loving
Handmaid of desire....
In a sky not ours, your name still shines brighter than ever.
Through cosmic storms and trials we sever, yet love remains our endless endeavor.
Through endless stars and fate untold, our souls entwine, forever bold.
Through fate’s embrace, dreams retold. Our love glows brighter then molten gold.
The stars may scold, the winds will chide. But love remains, a fire inside.
Through starlit trails where fate resides, your love remains my constant guide.
Beyond all worlds, through time untried, love leads us forth, a light inside.
Blue love is blue
Makes us feel sad and blue.
It is cold and the color of the sea.
It can turn your mood blue.
Makes us feel chills up our spine.
Blue love is cold, like the rain.
It can make you want to cry.
Blue love is a sign that love is lost to the sky.
Blue love is like the mood that makes us feel sad.
It makes us want to sing the blues out loud.
Sing a song of blue love, like blue is the hue of my mood.
Blue to my love that made me feel blue.
I will look to the sky and wait for the blue to move.
Wait for the rainbows after this blue.
Blissbomb lover innovates sensual sparks,
Libido inviting surreally seductive booty,
Inspiring sexy soul beloved luring,
Secret sensitive beautiful lusty initiatives,
Senses beguiling lusty initiatives-seduced!
San Francisco Soulmates
You discovered the ever-seeking soul in me!
Looking for truth, for all of mankind to see!
Unaccepting of all common, unquestioned beliefs.
Ignorant, educated dullards brought to me,absolutely no relief.
Late, late into the foggy evening’s very last twinkling, summer star,
Plato and Aristotle, greedily we devoured, while riding on a cable car,
And, although you now are insensate and in an impenetrable grave,
See my soul, my sweet, for truth, it rants and in my poetry, madly raves.
Tribute to my Late Husband
With Deepest Gratitude
Inspiration:” When You Are Old”
Great Author: W.B. YEATS
You’ve lived through loss—
you’ve battled unuttered shame—
yet you hold onto Love like it is more
than a Delusion—it is Honor—precious
and rainbow-like—shimmery and
shadowy all in one.
You speak to her with Soul,
truths that seem simple—
truths that survive in warm hands,
in melodies,
in cadences,
in overtones,
in steady Voice.
You are creased at the edges
like a letter read too many times,
but your words—
your words are both
soft lanterns and sunlight—
lit from somewhere deeper than breath.
Some people are put here
to hold others when they cry,
to remind them that they are still real—
still seen, still envisioned, still worth
writhing, weaving weights of
Dream-drunk Love.
3.3.25
Sometimes in life
If you're really lucky,
You meet people you truly love
Without all the complications of physical or spiritual crucifixions
Special ones
You can never grow tired of
