Found There Love:

Compliment

Hearts aligned, speaking together

find it easier stress to weather

as the tune is sung in pitch, on time

words and phrases come to find

rhythm and rhyme, song inclined

harmoniously aligned

for singing

As the tune is sung

voices, it seems as one

each measure afloat upon the air

about the other, complimenting all that’s fair

admiration, with nothing spared

as complimentary words, delivered,

brings joy as life to swing

Complement

Her to speak, him to listen

His words to come, her to hear

With each to fill and share with grace

Each to fill and empty place

For the other, each to complement

Together to form a paired whole

Striving for the clearest goal

Life and times in day ahead

Where husband, wife and family are wed

All aligns and future fed

As each fills in that empty place

In past unanswered, no sound or trace

And now, with comfort filled

Finally answered is wanting’s will

As love paired has become a whole

Hand in hand, woman and man

A family

There is Love

Unexpected, and not rejected

there is love

coming from each single heart

one who wants to be a part

of life shared

with another, loving too

each giving mutually care

in the living of their days

long dreamed of

and finally coming true

for me, and you

Trial of Acceptance

From a broken heart, a tragedy

to shared hearts expectantly

The road was ne’er smooth

Turned away in marriage mid-way

to come away broken

Sad, yet with loving heart

Could not bear to part, from her, a promise

lonely, yet always hopeful of change, years to remain

I stayed, holding a token, remembered love

Out of the blue, and unexpected

a line of chat was interjected

And nearly rejected out of hand

Change of direction, and of plan

stayed to read words I easily can

When a reach came, but interrupted

As thief to take what could be real

a curious person, long distance apart

Adversity recognized, and prevented

An opening chat becomes reflected

and opportunity in truth injected

Curiously, her words came

There to open channel, understand

through which life change come to hand

As chat to take on a strange life it’s-own

And into my life chaos is thrown

when she expressed interest

And I to resist, with her young, me, old

It took a long time for me to be sold

that anyone at all could come at me so bold

I was not then immediately sold

That her interest was more than trivial

I with interest, yet careful

Her aggressive, almost, yet gentle

I to retain pain as a mantle

preventing more heartbreak

Try to divert her intention and plan

It seemed she was trying to make me her man

with conversation as my want, “nothing else man!”

Coming my way she was, unrelenting

Nothing I did was preventing

her from telling of herself, her interests

Asking me of mine, and more

I had no idea what was in store

how much she wanted, wanting more

She becoming excited and in her ignited something

Slowly, oh, so very slowly

her to bring it, into my life intrude, at first

Then, the conversation well expected

As time moved on, her words to speak

of love between us, I did not seek

Did not welcome in fearful heat

Day to day and time to time

slow and sure our hearts align

Souls to find common line

And her to risk all, professing love

nearly, oh so nearly, I to give her off shove

But then, chatting good, I stayed

Within our conversation came

our hearts to beat, it seamed, the same

And I, this lonely man, too professed

Her to gladly accept my acceptance

and recognition that I too had found love

As our hearts to sing together

After months and months of interplay

chatting in our become accustomed way

Acceptance true upon reflecting

Joyful Hearts

Although we are miles apart

each of us has joyful heart

due to chatter in the park

to tell us the other harks

to all the words we say as lark

As we speak quietly intense

of how things could be beyond the fence

of distances quite immense

knowing we would give our last three-pence

sparing not a single expense

To hold the others hand

that distance long since spanned

she, to finally have her man

and enjoy a special place to land

where love can be taken direct in hand

To have joyful hearts fulfilled

happy tears to run and spill

once loneliness has no place to fill

each to treasure moment’s thrill

as with love, our hearts over-spill

Life of love to truly begin

as each once had a love to win

and now feeling that joyous win

as neither to need to look again

for love, her or him

She is

I hardly believe that she is here

her timing poor, or so I fear

as I am tied and held with spear

not held with laughter nor with cheer

but by promises made, long years

She has hope that I can join

in her desire for satisfied loins

the comfort of someone to hold

one who in willing and bold

rejoining games lost in times cold

And here she is, awaiting me

seeking sure her man be free

from past troubles he to see

and take up direction best to be

with fair woman, her to see

Tied, but no longer bound

old promises broken bringing frown

when tossed fealty once love bound

love’s promise now on ground

as passes love faded, down

And here she is, new love found

hard to believe, but this seems sound

where my heart a new love found

as life turns around and round

my head spinning, find new ground

Alive with Excitement

Alive with excitement, new love found

there he is, though he to frown

as quandary there and he in-bound

yet I forever want him round

He’s the man I’ve been looking for

of his time I am wanting more

though sometimes, is seems a chore

to get him to look above the floor

Where he, downcast, from years before

he rests, bound, to love from before

one that failed, then turned him out

no more comfort for him about

Here I am, to bail him out

to bring back comfort well about

along with love that will ever out

as I would never turn him out

For he’s the one, I did find out

who from my heart love pours out

as filled my heart to make me shout

I love you” to the world about

And he was there

I was dreaming after years

in lonely state for which I feared

would last ever, bring rushing tears

with my desires to remain

unabated, without gain

As I had been used in my youth

to fill the needs of others, so uncouth

where the love I had to share

was left wanting, and to spare

leaving me wanting for better care

Caresses meant for me, no waste

with his hands around my waist

a time when kisses and embrace

are those things to bring me grace

and finally fill that empty place

In my heart, in my life

as I seek him, a man upright

one who will hold me all through the night

to ease my troubles, my plights

bring on all that’s right

And he was there, within my sight

his words, in speech, are ever right

to strengthen me for daily fight

to hold me up when I am down

bring a smile to facial frown

And with care, I will nurture this

the emotion I feel as I wish for kiss

to seal our bargain, full hit, no miss

as with him here, I true exist

my eyes right now are filled with mist

I feel alive whenever we speak

his chatting words I constant seek

to fill my day and night so bleak

to hold him close I ever seek

strong my need, not ever weak

Why

Because there remained an emptiness

that had me feeling less

than the woman I knew myself to be

the woman I needed to set free

of the loneliness inside me

I reached to a smiling face

across a distance well in place

hoping to find in him some grace

to bring to me his want, his caresses

a sharing that brings impress

I am hopeful, if a mess

in heart and mind, I’ve lived with less

and with an end to that come soon

with him to bring me loving spoon

make me laugh, make me swoon

The Huntress

Hidden in the brush of a lifetime

mixed among others so like

as to be indistinguishable

from those about, to hail

There he was, the odd man out

hard to find, and not to hale

in her search she did prevail

to find him, then to sail

Words across a distance great

to attract attention, him retreat

not there looking for her

not there looking for anyone

Just out chatting nearly anyone

kill some time, have some fun

and time to pass, boredom’s last

breath give no time at last

This crack of openness

setting him up to confess

or pass out sayings to passersby

as poetry, a gem, on the fly

Her to see the difference in

this fellow among the many then

on the internet of games

interplay of lonely brains

There an opportunity

her, the huntress to clearly see

with a sharpened spear of words

she stabbed them in to be heard

To find her thrust not turned away

and from it built interplay

her to affect a change of heart

as word to say build interest-play

Her to see her hunt was done

he to nearly turn and run

but caught in snare of huntress fame

stayed to chat, to play her game

Her to address his thought quite slow

so he wondered, but didn’t know

that she had plans even so

to take him in, special

Unsuspecting, he to fall, though resistive

her to catch him as he fell

accepting her win very well

locked him in with her smile

Him to see her wonders clear

wanting more to have her near

surely keep her safe and dear

bring both to heightened cheer

Singing Hearts

And here I find

this heart of mine

singing alone with yours

in this day and time

It seems as though

our hearts truly know

where they want to go

happy, and ever so

As yours to sing along

this bright and cheery song

not sung for the throng

for us alone, we sing along

Love, that precious word

Too often falsely heard

yet us to find within

peace of mind again

And have our special song

written as we move along

into our future long

our hearts in happy song

LOVE

She had forgotten how it felt

Love, that gift of joy

an emotion deeply felt

as a warming of the heart

feeling as if a part

of something greater

with someone close

someone for support

and to carry her along

as he too shares joy

feels need to carry her along

while he too finds glad feeling

with supported life in sharing

the caring that here is expressed

a pairing, together

considerations of the best
