Love’s First Days:
I Smile
Looking at you, I smile
your beauty and your style
an image to gladly trace
mental image ever placed
Since we met
came curious wonder and fun
as we spoke in longer runs
to explore possibilities to be won
More and more, I look to you
for fun, at first thought untrue
and then, later when
I see you, and I truly do
I found myself entangled
in the conversation lines
as our two minds align
and hearts share in kind
And for the first or longest time
there became a future up the line
then to commit, I do not forget
when I had to say “I love you!”
And the smile would not erase
and you I need embrace
to end sadness and its trace
your heart with mine, a grace
No one but You
From the moment that you came
nothing would ever be the same
as had been my store
down the years much blame
As loves were found
each hell bound
to fall away, sadly
in later days, ending badly
Even when after years
with many encounters bringing tears
as discord to bring to life fears
of loneliness’ returns with sneers
Yet with you I find joy
lasting, with no twist nor ploy
to have our heart’s hold love
I find, there’s no one but you to love
Days Ahead
Heart looks to days ahead
when hands and lips are truly wed
touching, ending all words said
To fulfill our dream recent times said
to express the life that came fresh said
from one’s heart once thought long time dead
Received by you with brightest smile
where once you thought lost his style
and wonder show your eyes to smile
The dream alone excitement brings
to each their heart, their strummed strings
will come a time for sharing rings
In this moment that’s how it seems
one day will come time of sharing things
In days ahead we find fresh life springs
Chill the Hours
Each day I wait, as does she
for our time of chatting, don’t you see
talking, chatting to connect
keep our hearts from feeling heck
Each, we find the other best
the very best we’ve ever met
or hope to meet in times ahead
not being close we ever dread
Chill the hour in between
chatting moments waiting’s been
excited each, and wanting more
deep and deeper in each our core
Then, just the words upon the screen
which speak things we truly mean
but do not fill the arms and bed
there are ever visions playing in our heads
As we wait through chill hours
seeking these moments that rise as towers
above the normal lives we lead
expressing to each our want and need
She asks of God, and I of life
to have our future as man and wife
where fulfilled are each our dreams
where experienced are love’s life themes
His Heart, Her Heart
I speak of him, that’s me
I speak of her, it is she
slowly us two become we
His heart to take wing
his heart to pray sing
with affection
Her beating heart
beats for him, so smart
and bravely so
Each her words affect him
to take him out far on limb
to where love could grow
His word to excite hers
brings to speak out joyful words
of love
And so
Each heart to sing its joy
each a happy story
ever seeking more
Than those of yesterday
what could be said, they say
in time these two hearts beat
As one, love wins, has won
As a Friend
As a friend is standing by
to hold her hand when she need cry
as grew her feeling for this man
out beyond the edge of land
A friend to keep her warm when cold
one to restore as growing old
one to keep her pet as friend
one there when she must troubles wend
Sister heart to hear her joy
friend so close they share their toys
where what is mean they set aside
and finally joy they each abide
As newly comes someone to care
and in this success the two to share
as built up hope seems coming true
future promise to rise from blue
As love to form a pair beyond
those things as friends which made their bond
as new to see fresh glow in eyes
as sisterhood, makes sisters wise
How this heart tends to beat
My reflection shows a sign
of what is in my heart and mind
were in trouble from the day before
or coming troubles to my door
What happens is reflected
and when I see it, it is inspected
to reveal the emotions within
and what my state of mind has been
What I do, and what I send
either bring more trouble or heart to mend
as most times reflected is a friend
whose life is troubled and needs to mend
Seeking more of acknowledged wealth
of living things to bring me health
I look to friends who know their way
emulate them in act and play
Making use of the tools I have
to understand and then mind save
what learned to put in play
things to ease upcoming days
Seeking, I learned what was wanting
an older man with wisdom flaunting
one to fill my heart, life ease
one with desires I would gladly please
Each day reflected was this search
I looked on pages and in church
not to find, but sure I looked
I man to trust, a life to book
Social media there on page
seeing what had become the rage
a fellow’s image to grace a page
“Would this one man make the grade?”
Greeting sent to open chat
he looked good though somewhat fat
his eyes reflecting knowledge sure
this a fellow well mature
Respond he did, reluctantly
telling me he’d not be free
for more than chat occasionally
and this I took as opportunity
Slow but sure were opened doors
shared conversations, lives explored
I find myself reflecting need for more
his resistance I deplore
As into his life I move, intrude
changing his mind, heart and mood
as mine too changed as close we grew
as in my mirror, my face to glow
I’m finding more and more
his life I want to explore
I find too, I want him true
as that one to love me too
Beyond those things that I have done
beyond the troubles that life has spun
for me to live through, lost or won
with him, I imagine fun
Dream I do of the time we meet
a time when our lives become complete
there beside him on shared seat
life a dream and then real, neat!
“Oh! How this heart tends to beat”
as these thoughts are taking seat
mental images which I declare
would fill my life, no room to disrepair
As love to bloom inside of me
reflecting in my visage, mirror seen
not only is he my life dream
he’s the one I want with me, living scene
Commitment
She is so bold, which surprised my wit
unexpected ever to attention get
from an admirer, her eyes bright lit
I have been alone so long
though with another ever so long
whose love had slipped away, gone
Sadly, I stayed, committed
conscience and will adversely pitted
it seems we were ever poor fitted
And here I am with another’s heart
and this commitment holding us apart
and I conflicted, mind and heart
To stay with the one so promised
to love the one who does love, menaced
a threatening of what promised
After years of damning self
was time to care for personal health
as my heart to sing, love’s precious wealth
As promises spoken, were long since broken
as her commitment died, was just a token
where sitting, heart and home broken
And so, Commitment to abide
I would rather sit by lover’s side
hold a hand not make me cry
It is my time, I will not lie
I need to give this new love try
create a future pleasing by
One who loves me, commit hereby
to the one that promises to live by
giving future a better try
Minds and Hearts
Although apart
rest together minds and hearts
Him, once resistant
now a part in mind and heart
A couple forms as pleasing art
to see each other life set apart
Her to find in him, some joy
not found in other men or boys
Him to see a pleasantry
in mind and beauty that he sees
Would the distance close at once
the world would see their love
Each matching the other
as a pair of gloves
To fill that need
that unquenchable seed
That rests within hope
hoped for joy for each in measures
Each wanting long lives
together, them to treasure
The Find
He was not looking to find
a welcome spirit well aligned
in fact he was looking the other way
avoiding, one true may say
the signs
Then, came what may
someone special in her way
to express an interest
in his words say
passing well this time’s day
And as her words
to bring him cheer
minds and hearts grow closer, near
he to set aside his fears
cutting short his running tears
Her there reaching out
hand on shoulder, or there about
to calm a troubled, troubled man
as best she could, or can
and then
Each to find their souls touched
him to ponder, her to blush
as each to discover
in the other
their potential lover
As each inclined
to say their minds
and tell of love that each to find
within
hearts aligned
More of You
Beautiful you are, I see
graceful too, as should be
as you move within my life
casting away the hard, the spite
I find you, for me, you’re right
You fill my heart with joy
as in some ways I am your toy
an instrument to be played
a new song to be written, made
a fresh tune on page newly laid
And my spirits rise when you are near
As you speak words ever clear
to express the love you find inside
a love I am fair to accept, abide
as when you’re near I feel much more
my heart lifted that is sure
I need more of you
Such a Man
Dream, I did, of such a man
now I’ve found him, I’m a fan
Not what I expected in some ways
his words dance around me in their play
To find those places within my day
which need expressed in successful way
He to reach and touch my heart
Wish he could touch my every part
And fill those needs long ever there
with his wisdom and gentle care
He to be here and ease my stresses
help me clean up confusion’s messes
To fill my heart with gladness true
he’s more than the dream I have coming true
What is in my heart I say to you
remember, my man, this is true
I am your woman
and, I love you
