The Terms of Love
WHen
we finally
turned to
each othrer
after the chase
every part
of my being
cried out,
"Surrender"

Audrey Carey Poem
The kitchen radio rumbles heavy drumbeat,
outside, rain pecks out its staccato
on the porch.
Stirring fragrant coffee,
I ponder doing dishes, starting laundry,
pause to glance at him.
Across from me,
his eye-crinkling smile
liquefies all my resolve.
Oh, listen
to that insistent rain
ans heartbeats drumming.

Audrey Carey Poem
It is in the very act, of loving each other,
Day by day,
With patience,
With humor,
With doubts,
With passion,
And much forgiveness,
All without losing ourselves, that we learn to love.

Audrey Carey Poem
You sleep, I dream,
imagining tomorrow
and all the tomorrows,
of our life.
Will we have children,
change jobs,
buy a house in the suburbs,
have outdoor barbeques?
Perhaps we'll stay in the city,
live in a loft.
decorate in bold colors
and ride our bikes to work.
You sleep, I dream,
imagining tomorrows,
and all the tomorrow
of our love.

Audrey Carey Poem
A wicked heart blinds the eyes and steals the soul's redemptive growth
A corrupted mind is never forgiving and hates a tender smile
But because there is an abundance of joy built in strength
I see my fellowmen as humanitarians and as friends
I am the modern-day Bob Marley chanting my redemption song
I am today's preacher giving thanksgiving and praise
I march like Martin Luther for I have a dream
I sing like the angles in a humble refrain
Unity solidifies the heart
Eternal love prides the eyes
A rolling dice have many outcomes
Chose the possibilities of your successes
So I dance like Fred Astaire as I glide through out life
I will box like Mohammed Ali and sting like a bee
I want to be the modern-day sunshine casting my light upon the world
Just a natural woman roaming and visualizing my plan
There are so many things to be thankful for
There are so many good silenced by loud noise
Like Whitney Houston I have nothing without you
At the end of the day I will always love and treasure my miracle.

Audrey Carey Poem
Your are mine
I am yours
Not a possessive noun
that expresses property,
but a meaningful word
declaring our decision
to share the best we have--
to listen, to honor,
to understand,
to cheer each other,
being who we are,
You are mine
I am yours.
Together life is lovelier.

Audrey Carey Poem
I wanted to tell you how,
early this morning
lying against you.
a great wave of gentleness
swept all my old wars
clean, leaving me here with
your body washed up in sleep
on the pillow beside me.
I'm here, home,
and empty of all but your deep
silence humming within me
I wanted to tell you
I love you.

Audrey Carey Poem
I promise that I won't get distracted by the noise around me
I will avoid delaying the process to make haste my budding successes
I promise to forgive myself of my mistakes and endeavor to merit me in private
Astonishing as life can truly be I'd rather fight for integrity within my hand
The heart of conflict kills an open pride
I'll take of this blindfold to read my lines
But am getting too close to this daunting cliff
I promise to remain stable as the evening grows
Don't try solving today's homicide
The altercation of this dilemma is at its deadline
I promise to send out my lifeboat for you
Hang in there do you understand my formal affair?

Audrey Carey Poem
The moon seeks to mock me tonight,
Its glow reflecting past times so right.
When love embraced me so tenderly,
When all was never this disorderly.
A time when love was in full blossom,
When my lover leaned against my bosom.
Ohhhh, how I miss him so yearningly,
The touch of his lips on mine so softly.
Love that was with us for but a season,
Ran off love did, left us dry, such treason.
Never again to know his delicate touch,
My desires were stoked, it was indeed such.
I will miss his lips, nibbling on my ear,
Enough reminiscing, for now I feel a tear.

Audrey Carey Poem
Holy mystery of love,
as we give thanks for your presence
when love flows like a river,
so we are grateful for Your presence
when love refuses to flow,
when love is slogging work,
and even when love is painful.
It is still love, and it is still charged with Your energies.
You inspire us to make our love even wider,
to open its door even to the woundedness
of those we love,
to admit honestly to our wounds
and defective hearts,
to patiently allow time to pass: for healing.
Love can be lost we know, Holy One,
and we ask Your blessing on what love we have.
Even though it be imperfect,
still it towers over everything else in our life.
Amen
